Told ya. Well, I told myself and a few others.

Last winter was the best winter HERE I have seen in 42 years. Then, we had a snap spring and summer was a bitch, followed by a turn into a cold and rainy (deluge type) fall in less than two days.

We have had the "usual" fall swings in temps but they have been far more on the cold and rainy side.

Amos... the snows of 2010 shall be.

However, Mum sat in a chair in the garage in the sunshine this afternoon and I had placed the last alive hanging pots in front for her to admire... a purple mini petunia, a double coloured fuscia, a double coloured begonia and the second coming of a glorious crimson/yellow creeping snapdraggon. I wish I could have gotten a pic but Mum frowns on being photographed. In several weeks them thar flowers is gonna die and give way to a winter like back in the old days of 92.

Mark my word, next full moon will bring a change for the worse... or the better until the next one... then, look out.
