Just the other day DH made a comment about a rat scurrying across his office floor. Looked kind of big then he caught one the next day. He said the fur was really thick on that thing. He took it outside and let nature take it's course. The last time that happened it was a sign of a long winter for South Texas. Also doesn't help his office backs up to a field.

Snow could fly as early as Halloween and last till who knows when..lol Or we could have hardly any snow at all then get hammered with several feet in a few days.

That's exactly the weather pattern we now have here in Eastern Canada.
We have a frost warning for tonight.
I love where I live but winters usually start way too early and go on way too long.

Our winter bill usually doubles because we have 3 heated dog houses as well as running a heater in the shop to keep the pipes from freezing. And the dog water buckets are heated also.
