5am temp here is 37 on top of the hill. 
Pequest, Sandyston and Walpack up in NW Sussex  28, 28 and 25 respectively.  Mid 30’s down in the Pine Barrens.  Ideal radiational cooling with low lying rural locations cashing in on coldest temperatures.

Wow, I never would have thought single digits had ever been recorded in October in NJ, even in a colder climate of the past.  Was that near the end of the month?
 

10-22-40 was the earliest single digits that I could find for the old Sussex COOP. There used to be a station at Layton in the Delaware water gap not far from the current Walpack station with had their first single digits on 10-28-36. The earliest below 0° reading for Layton and other surrounding sites was 11-26-38.

It was likely the combination of thick fresh snow cover and strong radiational cooling that produced the subzero November temperatures in 1938.
