It's actually been a very, very mild fall so far around my parts. I've got all my wood split and in the shed. Gonna get a nice load of oak over Thanksgiving also. For the last few weeks, it's been in the 50's around here. I've heard from numerous places, that this winter is supposed to be very cold and snowy around here. We'll see!!!

Well I've seen snow already here this morning... Then spitting snow this afternoon as we (friend and I) were plowing my driveway.

SNOW, were still in summer:lmao2: man we had a hard long freeze last year and then it went straight into 100 summer. And I bet we go straight into winter with no fall, well it's been nice in the morning anyhow. Were supposed to have no rain and long winter.
