I miss that about living in the Midwest, but these darn Finns make Immy's jump through a lot of hoops to own a gun here
Prolly for the best, but I'd sure love to get a moose this year.
Pretty rough weather for the end of October though.

People with old drafty houses around here shovel snow up against the walls to keep it warm and nice inside

it's 67* here
it will get to 91* for a High , clear skies , 2 mph winds ,

and a Deer grazing on the side of the Road this Morning ,,,

Thank god i don't have to do that for any reason^
..general snow cover does the trick- roof/ground

..when it's -40 to -60F tho.. the wind chill tries to find a way in no matter what.
My home is well insulated tho..so lucky there.

*note to add:yeah winter is arriving with a vengeance..lol
but we are used to it/that around here

October here is 58 at night 85 in the day

Heat on Heat off

A/C on A/c off

Pfft! Where's the challenge in that?

17F right now/icy roads/snow still coming down/several inches already/blustery winds
..more snow forecasted for sun/mon/wed/thur

Winter is definitely here.

Odd , everything here seems nice ,
ya'all stuck back in the Ice Age or sumpin ?

It's a temporary ice age. Happens every year.

Wind's picking up here and temps are rising. It's gonna rain soon and we'll have a slushy mess. It's going to be a great weekend for undercover activities

I actually like our seasons

Yeah I like my Ol' Lady when she's in Season , but not when she's cold !

We have a huge blanket to cuddle up under when the big chill hits. It's very cozy and romantic, we pretend we'll die if we don't combine our body heat to survive. And lots of candles of course.
