Well on September 9th I had to go away for a 10 day business trip. The forecast wasn't good but I had my fingers crossed that the light frost being predicted wouldn't happen. When I got up that morning it was snowing! I went out and threw some plastic sheets on the plant hoping for the best. Three days where the temp never got above 8° and went down to about -4°C and this is what I've got left for a plant. There's only about three good leaves that were low to the ground. I'm going to leave the pumpkin on the vine in it's protected little cave and hope that it stays rot free. Too bad - I think it had a little growing still left in it.
