Native American summer is so 1980’s. I’m a little upset we didn’t get over to see the Cleveland Indigenous Peoples play this summer.
 
30’s and drizzly rain /ice. Time to get out the antiskid and put on the studs. Hard to believe a week ago we almost hit 80.

This is the worst time of year for wrecks people still drive like the roads are bare and a deer pops out of the woods and they hit the brakes and ice on the road sends them flying. They can’t figure out to slow down till the first heavy snow and then they switch to going ridiculously slow for a couple weeks.
 
Almost a week till Christmas and the grass is still growing here. Couple days ago it was almost 70. Been getting into the 60’s lately and cooling back down over night. Snow plow is ready to go but no white stuff in the future. Pretty crazy we win the snowfall record one year have 3 winters in a row with subzero months and so far this year it is a SC winter.

And I’m not complaining!
 
68* here and we've only run the furnace a couple times to knock the chill off in the morning. I did just unload a truck load of firewood, just in case winter does decide to show up.
 
I haven’t heard of or seen a smudge pot in 50 years. Out on the left coast I suspect they are regulated and have catalytic converters on them now.

This winter to date we have had 0.9 inches of snow. We are going to have to put the hammer down to reach 200 inches even this winter. Lake Erie is still really warm so if the weather starts coming across from Neal’s side we could really get some lake snows.

We got a lot of ground to cover to catch the rest of the pack this year. All it would take is a good 48 hours though.

We have done it a few times before. Here is what I got for my first birthday. Downtown Erie got 2 foot of snow but 10 miles south of town reported 4 to 5 foot.

These smudge pots are probably well over 50 years old but are in new condition. They came from the orange groves out here. Not sure if they are legal to use but we have been using one on jobsite all week and it's is nice to get warm.
