Nah!! You're about right on time Jim!! We had our 1st hard frost this past Monday morning in the outlying areas. I'm sure if you haven't had frost up there by now it's a coming!!

We had our first good frost this past weekend. Woke up to 34 degrees and the power was out. I didnt light the stove but I sure thought about it.

I can remember when I first installed the wood stove. I used to get so pissed off over Halloween cause it just irked me to have to open that front door every 3 minutes in the cold rainy wind and then stand there for several more pretending to be be amused while my furnace chugged $4 a gal fuel oil in the background.

That was the first thing that went through my mind when I installed it. lol Come on you gouls and gobblins, I'll hold that door open all night now..

There talkin 70's by next week here again

Built a fire here one morning last week to take the damp chill out of the house. Then built it again last night because a rainy cold front was coming thru. It did too about 7:30 PM.

Jim,

Why do you sit inside and wait for them? Just do like we do here and sit on the front steps. It sounds to me like a 'further' northern boy needs to actually put on a light jacket so you can sit outside in the 20 degree weather. I know that you normally don't put on a winter coat till it is around 0 so just grab a light jacket and wait outside.

A fire sounds good this morning. First day of Fall cold here, in a cold rain. We need a frost to kill the bugs. Gnats swarmed me yesterday afternoon when I deer hunted a little.

Jerry, last year I sat on the porch dressed up as a...well...I dont know what you'd call it. A zombie.

Were covered in mosquitoes Clyde. Like we never have been. I assuming due to our floods. Cant wait for a good hard frost to kill them and my fall allergies.
