Well I finished my outdoor work today, nice and sunny today but only 45 degrees but it was nice blowing the leaves, didn't break a sweat. had the boys put their outdoor toys in the garage. So now it can snow. They are talking snow showers Wednesday and it has been getting cold enough to stick now, we've had snow showers over the past two weeks but nothing that would stick. Were late this year, last year we had significant snowfall by now, of course it melted before Halloween but it was still cold remember freezing my butt off taking the kids around for candy. Winters have not been as bad here the last few years as they were when I was growing up, I remember years where we had 200" over the winter, lately we have been holding around 65" a winter. Doesn't help for the winter activities, although I am less than 2 hours from the Porcupine Mountains and less than a hour from the other ski hills in the U.P. so we can always drive to the snow
