Yeah... we've been having some of the earlier trees dropping leaves
already...  pretty normal, though, for late August here in upstate NY... 

 MH@> Just hoping that we get some snow this winter.  Last winter was
 MH@> non-existant and don't want another one like that.  Especially since I

 MH@> 4x4'n.  :)

 DS> The snow that fell across Arkansas last Christmas...and especially
 DS> in the Little Rock area...was the first time the area had seen snow on
 DS> Christmas in 86 years. Plus, central Arkansas usually gets ice storms
 DS> when it comes to winter weather.

So, are you hoping for snow on Christmas again...?  ;)
