40F here. This is the first heating season in the last 15 that I shut the range down for the season as early as the 3rd week of May.

But cold in June is not uncommon here. We often need to keep the coal range going into mid June. The nights still get cold enough that the house doesn't warm up enough in the daytime.

This milder winter left me with about a ton more coal than I estimated for. Plus, my electric bill is about $500 less from last year not needing to run the electric furnace as much. I figure I'm Just over $700. ahead, so another chilly day or two is ok.

Better than those 90's temps we had middle of last week. :o

35 degrees here in my neck of the woods. Much like the fellas in upstate New York, we have cold nights throughout the first 2 weeks of June. Gardens are planted memorial weekend and every pays attention to evening temperatures so they cover what is up.

I think it was 39 here. I flipped the heat pump on for 30 minutes to take the chill off.

Only got down to 43 here in NWNJ. I'll take the cool weather but there'll be high 80s by the end of this week.
