October weather

That was a month! Where DID it go? It's been crazy tempera

Stratus gauge

tures, up and down above zero C. and the cats just don't know what to make of it. Yesterday, Saturday, we woke to a good freeze, and the deer were out and about.

I love my professional-standard Stratus rain gauge. It's not metric, however, and I have to find the metric equivalent.

I think a rainy night for the Trick-or-treaters, but we Canadians are tough!

To quote my friend, Leigh

"I would say the wind and rain combo is currently quite bad, later on it will be rather bad, followed by some "oh I say" amounts of rain."
