The Last day of Winter?

[joebanks]

I've seen snow in the past 24 hours, just some stuff blowing through the air. But "they" are promising that it's over. I was checking back to old entries and we got our killing frost on November 9th; there is a light frost on the cars now, though it's 36 degrees. The old normal average date range for a heavy frost is October 15 through May 15; though i can't remember one as early as October in years. So if everything was as it once was, we could get cold weather for another month but, of the spotty kind. Unless we get a year without a summer: http://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/1816-year-without-a-summer/

In Willa Cather's Shadows On The Rock, the Recollet fathers grow lettuces indoors during the Quebec winter, behind walls stuffed with four feet of ash. I don't know if they came out white, though!

We have those micro-climates here too, all that water.
