Yup ... on the threat of snow last week I pulled my tomatoes out. Smells

showing shoot tips.

First frost November 7, 2003; 28.9F was the low in my backyard (corner of
I-96 and Telegraph Rd. in Detroit, MI)

It is 22.1F as I write this at 3:30 a.m. on the morning of the 9th.

Two days in a row (Wed, Thu) of record 85F here in SE Virginia.
Yesterday the weathercritters began reporting windchill numbers, and
overnight temperatures in the 20s somewhat inland. It's a balmy 45F
right now.


Sigh ... I wish it would stay summer about 11 months and get spring and fall
over with in the other month. No need for winter at all.

Try Hawaii. 80F year 'round in many parts. I *like* seasons, although
I'd also like the wealth to enjoy a carefree attitude toward summer
and winter utility bills.
