It's that time of year. Nights are getting colder, and every gardener's worst nightmare is popping up: frost advisories.
A high-pressure system moving into Eastern Canada Friday night will bring clear skies across the region. Unfortunately, without clouds in the sky to insulate the ground level, we will see temperatures cool off fast as the day's residual heat leaves the earth.

Much of northeastern and eastern Ontario typically sees the first frost around the end of September or beginning of October, whereas Quebec and New Brunswick wait until the beginning to middle of October.
So be sure to take any of your frost-sensitive plants indoors or cover them up for the night.
A crisp fall chill will also spread over the region for the weekend, giving folks a taste of the new season officially starting on Monday.
