The area of the temperature map of my region of the world, about to be blue. On this map is shown shortly after midnight in my region (Michigan), while it's about three hours later in Greenland & essentially about six hours earlier or 18 hours later in the Russian Far East, otherwise known as Siberia. Take a look at these archived photos.
My exact area is on the Southern area of the Southern peninsula, surrounded on three sides by the great lakes. Over the past three or more years, freezes or temperature of 32 degrees (0 degrees C) have come during some time during the 22nd of October. In 2019, the levels of water in the lakes is unusually high, but also cooler than normal to some extent, an interesting environmental feature to note. Some states including Colorado & Montana have had a temperature of 14 degrees (-10 C) or colder. The state of North Dakota has had snow, and even Minnesota has started to receive snowfall during Friday or Saturday. Today, snow has been falling in Northern Michigan overnight. Generally, during some time in November is when the overnight low temperatures of October start to be maximum daytime values. But even in November snow might not fall here in my area, even if such temperatures prevail. So far in October 2019, temperatures at night have been falling to between four and ten degrees. Readings of about 26 degrees or about -3 C are very likely by the end of October. With this in mind, it's likely that December will be slightly frigid at least at times. Again though, the water levels of the great lakes might play a major role in moderating the short-term weather, but also we might need to be on the lookout for how upper level winds at various heights might flow as well as the frequency of stormy or windy weather over land and water. Tall waves happening frequently and over a large area might enhance the moderating effect of the lakes. The truth is, climate change is complicated to make a decisive opinion about.
