...but, maybe it's not so bad.

Austria’s provincial capitals are expected to see their earliest snowfalls in history today (Mon) as Arctic air sweeps the country.

Josef Haselhofer from Vienna’s Central Agency for Meteorology and Geodynamics (ZAMG) said today (Mon) Arctic air would probably result in the first snow cover in provincial capitals before 20 October in history and said Innsbruck, Salzburg and St. Pölten were likely to see snow.

Arctic temperatures are on an unusual record-breaking run in southern Montana and northern Wyoming that is making this the coldest start for October ever.

In Billings, record lows were set the last three days, while on Friday the low temperature of 18 degrees tied with an existing record from 1993. Each consecutive day has been more frigid still, with Saturday bringing a record of 16 degrees, Sunday 14 degrees and today 13 degrees.

According to the National Weather Service, October 28 is the earliest date temperatures of 16 or lower have hit Billings in the past. With an average daily temperature that is almost six degrees lower than anything on record for October, it is also turning out to be the coldest October ever.

Temperature archives for Miles City and Sheridan, Wyo., also show a precedent-breaking cold snap over the last few days. In Sheridan, thermometers dove as low as 5 degrees on Friday, the first time that low has been reached before October 29.

.. and, of course, you forgot to mention this is all due to, and irrefutable evidence of global warming climate change.
