America is likely to remain blue for a few more days. That said, my meteorologist friend, who actually made a career of studying shit like this says that we are due for warm up by the end of the month. I’ll believe it when I see it, though. Winter is coming, though the really cold winters don’t seem to stick around like they one did.
Or has it just arrived? I don’t know but it’s much too cold and gray today up here on Bennett Hill. And the sun is setting much too early this time of year.

Kind of a cloudy, gray November day but that is not stopping the crowds at Bennett Hill Preserve. I decided to hike up the mountain, and I’m not alone, on this not very nice day before going out to my parents house for Sunday lunch
Mostly cloudy and 43 degrees at the Bennett Hill Preserve. ☁ There is a west-northwest breeze at 13 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around noontime. ☃️

Not as much rain this evening as I thought from the forecast but still today has been a rather dreary day. The first half of the week doesn’t look much better but maybe things will improve as the weekend approaches. Only time will tell. But I figure I will be busy with work, so the rain is what it is.
