lol...exactly. I check the Farmer’s Almanac and they predicted a very cold winter. I read that back in September, which prompted me to get the roof replacement scheduled in October and completed in November. It IS Winter, after all.

The GOOD news? For me, at least, the daylight these days is noticeably longer. :-)

I predicted a relatively mild winter based on wasps nests and sqiurels nests

If you add it up, we've (sw Pa) had about two weeks of winter, so far.
