We have had several frosts but then this morning it was 49F so here in Illinois the weather isn't quite sure what it is doing. Then again that is pretty much how it always is here in the midwest.-Nathan No snow here yet.

I'm in my own little bubble here, I guess. I hope to get at least another month before any snow. It’s crazy to me to think that you could have snow already! I’m in my own little bubble here, I guess.

I have heard the farmers almanac is forecasting a frigid winter but on the other hand there is a weak el nino which should make for a warmer winter.  I was just out in the patch and it is freezing here in Brantford, On. No snow yet though thankfully, just 4-6c, wet and windy. I’m for watching for winter into Jan!
