Winter is coming quick. Had a storm in Washington last night with high winds, power outages and trees down everywhere. No snow yet though

SE Minnesota, a very light snow all day long, but no accumulation.

@LMichaels, I'll be running past you tomorrow morning at warp speed (memorial service to attend in Arlington Heights.) I'll wave.

I have a feeling we are going to get a lot more snow this year than winters past since it was such a dry summer.

Long range outlook from one of the best forecasters says should be warmer and wetter winter. I just hope wetter means simple rain not ice and snow. At least I don't have to shovel rain

I'm fine with rain, and snow. Keep that ice crap somewhere else.

Time to put away the lawn tractor and bring out the snow blower

That is in the garage but I'm not done with the tractor yet. Still got lots of leaves to chop.

I have two maple trees in the backyard whose leaves are still hanging on for dear life yet. I also dispose of my leaves by way of mulching them up with the lawnmower. I would like to make one more pass weather permitting, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

I'm sure hoping I can. On years we've not been able to I had terrible lawn conditions the following spring and my work load with over seeding and what not was terrible. Thankfully I can burn them here. So, if the maples and lastly my oaks overwhelm me but they're dry I can use the sweeper drive to the culvert dump and burn. Lots more work than mulching but I have times I can't get away from it.
Sadly we get these PIA Karen's that move here before they're realizing people can burn and they get all bent outta shape. "Oh I smell your smoke" "We need to get a law" Hate those people. Don't like it? Don't move here!

I just got my burn permit (Shasta County) the previous owner didn’t do much cleaning up and I have 1/2 acre of debris to rake up and burn. Too bad it’s going to rain like cats & dogs for then several days
