How often is it to see 80 degrees after the first frost?

As we near the end of October, these temperatures are uncommonly warm, and I’ll even say hot for this time of year. We saw a widespread freeze through most of Michiana yesterday, South Bend reached 30 degrees, this is a little later than we normally see the first freeze, but a late frost isn’t anything to worry about. The weirder thing is what is coming after, with these warm temperatures expected tomorrow and Wednesday. Both days have potential to break some records. I took a look at the past thirty years to get some numbers, and it turns out that this has happened before, but it is fairly uncommon. We got close a couple of years ago, but we had a low below 32 degrees, and above 80 degrees in 2003 and 2010. 2003’s numbers are pretty similar to ours, with the turn around only happening in 3 days.
