It rained this morning and it's getting ready to rain again.
I had just enough time in between to fix Kathy's '78 VW Bus so that it will pass NY State inspection, which is due by the end of the month.

Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them. -

first nice weekend in weeks so I had to spend a lot of it mowing. The grass was so long I had to mow it twice in one weekend. Cold fron coming through tonight, so maybe this will be the last time of the year.

Texas has had a solid week of rain....and a cold front. There were a few days where we have like 5 inches in 24 hours. It's only been in the upper 40's this week, about 30 degrees below the average. And lakes are flooding! We live by a large lake and the marina parking lot is flooded and another road is closed due to lake flooding. We are lucky. They are able to let H2O out of this lake. Joe Pool Lake, they can't let H2O out (I forget why, something downstream) so it is now 10 FEET over the limit.
Our heat kicked on about 48 hours into the cold spell.Pirating – Corporate Takeover without the paperwork -

We've been below freezing several nights this week. My husband is up in the Leelanau Peninsula purportedly to help a buddy renovating his century + old house but they've had frost Thursday, freezing rain Saturday and snow this morning so they haven't accomplished much since he got up there on Thursday.

That's not really true, but we do keep the thermostat at 60.
We both prefer it cool, and besides, if need be we can put on another layer. -

When I got to Chicago, my daughter served the vegetarian chili that her husband had made before he left for Albuquerque. It was amazingly good; he put in butternut squash chunks and a lot of red pepper. So good.
My husband always makes chili on Halloween. He used venison and ground sirloin this year. Oh my gosh was it delicious. -

Here's what the National Weather Service is saying about the upcoming winter............
For this upcoming winter the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) temperature and precipitation forecast generally reflects a typical El Niño pattern:
- Wetter than normal conditions across the southern United States, with above normal temperatures across the Central and Western Great Lakes extending through the Northern Plains to the Pacific Northwest.
- Drier than normal precipitation is shifted a bit further north from the typical Ohio River Valley to the Central and Western Great Lakes (click link to see a typical El Niño pattern impacts).
- The majority of the rest of the United States is anticipated to see above normal temperatures with the exception of the Southeast US and Mid Atlantic where there is no clear signal for above or below normal temperature.
- Remember it is an outlook over an entire season, so it may be hard to notice differences on a day to day basis.
- Drier than normal precipitation does not necessarily mean that there will be lower than normal snowfall.
- Wetter than normal conditions across the southern United States, with above normal temperatures across the Central and Western Great Lakes extending through the Northern Plains to the Pacific Northwest.

Yesterday my wife Kathy and I went to visit a niece who is attending Pace University which is a little north of New York City.
The leaves are changing and may be at their peak for beauty. She, and her mother, were amazed, they are from Austin, TX and they don't get that there it seems. -

What they do have is an absolutely beautiful spring with bluebonnets, indian paintbrushes, etc, etc. I so loved travelling the highways in late March/April and seeing/reveling in all the wildflowers. -

Did enjoy the bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes. When children were young we took a family portrait in the bluebonnets near Brenham.
Speaking of Brenham, their two most famous products are Blue Bell Ice Cream and Cecil Cooper.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

First snow of the year today. For now it's a rather pretty gentle dusting of everything (except the roads - too warm). But for this afternoon they are predicting strong winds with heavy lake effect snow. Oh goody.

Got our first snow today. Interesting to see what the schools do in the morning.
As I was watching the flurries this afternoon outside my window I told people that more snow than I had seen in the first 20 years of my life.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

I've recently read some articles that say we're heading into a period of solar minimum and that it will lead to a colder than usual winter.
Starting around 1645 there was a period of about 75 years of solar minimum which lead to an extended cold period which played havoc with the growing seasons and caused food shortages. Usually the solar cycles are much shorter than that, but who knows.
I guess TJ got her new, warmer sleeping bag just in time! -

When I was growing up, Massachusetts still had real Yankees. Unfortunately, the snow whimp-ification around here has been increasing year-by-year. I'm going to have to move to northern New England soon to escape people like this...
