October, or perhaps November, weather continues deep into December. Thee is no snow here. The little pond across the street is dry as are many of the sloughs. Dawn is fond of saying "The snow can come in March." She's correct. The cows are in the corn munching on corn stalks and saving farmers the need to use precious hay. The mild winter that was predicted is materializing. Attempting to cross a narrow stretch of ice it was quickly apparent that it wasn't solid. Moisture is certainly needed prior to growing season but March would be an ideal time to receive it. The sun, low in the southern sky, is evidence of the season. Now we're about a week from the shortest daylight of the year. While it's not evident immediately the knowledge that daylight is returning gives me an emotional boost. Jurisdictions are saving money with no snow to plow.
