vERY windy today, really windy....only 41°. Yes, I wore a winter coat to church, & a wool hat (not a cap). came home, got out of the skirt & jacket, into suede slacks & a sweater (turtle neck shirt under. My son is hunting, posted a pic on Facebook a little while ago, said it was snowing! Well I take a look out, the small patio is all wet, not sure if sleet or melted snowflakes...or perhaps a bit of rain. It got very dark here around 4 p.m. Yes, the north wind doth blow now. Sheesh.
Back in 1991, on Halloween, Mother Nature turned into quite the trickster, as that was the day of the Great Halloween Blizzard that dumped over 3 ft of snow in some parts of the Northland. Wicked storm. (it continued in some place til Nov. 3rd, which is why the huge final accumulation. We got over 20" here, I believe, so that winter was a doozy. Plows had no where to pile snow anymore, & farmers were asked if their fields could be used to dump the snow. Plows then filled trucks galore with the piled high snow which were spread on the farmers' fields, bless their hearts. But it made room for the rest of the winter. Heck, you could not see around corners whether it was safe to turn onto another street.
I lived rural for so many years, and honestly, lst year or two, had a lot of candy, but NO trick or treaters. Except the evening of the blizzard, when closest neighbor brought wife & 3 yr old son (wearing a snow suit) in his plow truck. LOL Anyway, the town here does a trunk treat thing, wherein cars are parked in some huge lot, candy in the open trunks.......Seems to go over well.
Have a good evening, my friends.
