It's snowing. :-( And, not just a few flurries, but quite a lot of snow and wind with accumulations of 2-4" expected. It's only the first week in October. This is early even for us. ;-P
Edited to add: I just went out to try to take a walk and didn't make it nearly as far as normal. It was cold and wet with snow stinging my face (where it wasn't covered by my pulled-up neck warmer) and really quite miserable. So I decided it wasn't worth it. Bleah. :-(
