As long as I can remember we’ve had an October snow. The DH and I call it the warning snow. It snows enough to remind us to get the firewood cut and stacked; winterize certain outdoor water faucets; finish up any yard chores; get the horse hay into the barn; and put the winter emergency kits in the trucks.

We’ll get a few more weeks of nice weather to get these chores done before the real winter settles in.
