Ask a farmer… they will tell you the first freeze used to be in October in the south delta. The last time I remember being chilly during early bow season was around 1990..

According to weather data from the St. Joseph weather station, the average first freeze 5 years out of 10 (32° or lower) occurred on or before November 18 between 1981 and 2010.

From 1991 to 2020, the average date was November 16.

I guess a farmer can say what he wants, but weather don't lie.

And just for shits, from 1951 to 1980, the average date was November 7.

We had frost the last 3 years in vermillion parish in Oct
Like 34 degrees in Gueydan - so the South Delta surely had a freeze

Also the long term avg temps don't show much variation in the last 50 years like you claim
