Not that anyone keeps track of developments out this way...but it is
snowing.  It is sticking.  It is covering roofs and the ground.  It was
predicted that the UP would get a foot of the stuff last night.  Don't
know if it happened or not.  Pretty normal up there I suppose.  And I am
not in principal opposed to early snow.  But this year I would just as
soon this snow wasn't still on the ground in April.

Of course our Canadian bretheren have already laid in the firewood,
stocked the storage locker and settled in with a pile of good books to
read this winter.
