Tomorrow, BM> Monday and Wednesday snow is predicted! Definitely not going to be BM> anywhere near close to 70's! Doesn't look very likely, to be sure... and we've had that snow, too... and lows down in the single digits... But I do think we are due for a nice Indian Summer about now.... The forecast is for highs in or near the 40s for the rest of the week, so while a little warmer, it's not really an Indian Summer... as you said before, it might have snuck past as tepid weather... BM>> Looking out this morning the leaves that did turn orange look to have BM>> a brownish tinge, though that could be due to it being overcast out, so BM>> no sun to spotlight. NB>> As we've been saying, this year just hasn't been as brilliant as NB>> some years.... BM> Looking out this afternoon the leaves are even more of a brown-orange BM> with maybe half fallen. Still lots of leaves to go. We were just driving down the main avenues around here, and noticing how many trees still have a lot of their leaves yet... and no real color there anymore, either... just brown and sere... maybe some dull orange... BM>> Hopefully! BTW, did you get the roof to the shed/garage fixed? Else BM>> you and Richard should get the tarps back in place and secured before BM>> it gets to cold/windy/snowy/other seasonal nastiness. (But First!) NB>> The tarps on the garage have been there all summer.... the wind storms NB>> we got before and on Halloween did take them down some, and he's been NB>> back up on the roof fastening them down again after each of those... NB>> maybe the snow we got will help hold things down now... Not sure why NB>> he didn't try to do the proper fix this year, but it's too late for NB>> that now... BM> The Wizard procrastinated like I did with some projects?! Or maybe BM> the major repair coming up so just make-do for now. Neighbour had a BM> tarp over a small part of their roof for the longest time; had the BM> shingles replaced eventually. He's replaced the back and one side with a metal roof already (a couple of years ago)... so the job is partly done... the front will need to have some underlayment work redone now... and that will definitely have to wait for better weather... dunno what shape the other side is in....
