Referring to the US, this October is not really noteworthy for the US temperature-wise — it's only 0.3°F below average. But it's the end of the continuous warm stretch much of the US has had for over a year, which seemed to perpetuate itself. Hoping that it's continuing for the Northeast, at least.

I wish it were the end, but I can hardly look at it that way, especially considering what will be coming in most of the U.S. in the West and upper plains for the rest of November.
I see it just as a hiccup in long trend of above normal temperatures.

I hope not. My job is dependent on average to below average temperatures during the winter.

Well, it's a different story in the East (with the exception of parts of the Northeast). So far it's been much cooler than normal in many parts of the East, and slight to moderate cooling in other portions. The slight warm spell coming next week followed by a slight cool down won't impact the averages nearly enough to flip it. Cooler than normal for the month seems like a lock for that region.
Of course, the West is a different story - the Mountain West is running warmer than normal, and most of the Southwest is running close to normal (slightly above average, but <1F either way doesn't really count in my view).

And retailers too... It's looking like the October pattern break is continuing through November in the U.S.

Here's another look at the temp anomaly for October. 1.5 to 2 below normal around Western Kentucky.. Typical Negative NAO look here.. picture perfect. Shift that blocking north more and the NorthEast will see these results which we are for November... But the funny thing is... the Southeast is too.
I mentioned Kentucky in above post... Here's a quote from Meteo Chris Bailey from there.
"We have one impressive cold snap going across Kentucky. It’s one that is now three weeks old and has only featured a couple of days of temps above normal. The high latitude blocking that caused this chilly streak and early taste of winter weather is relaxing a bit right now. The good news for cold and snow lovers is it looks to come back as we end the month"
