Hi Canna,
I did the same thing you did....in 1977 I hightailed it out of SE Michigan the first of February....went down to New Orleans for Mardi Gras for a month (great fun) and then on to Cali for 15 years. When I got to Cali everyone was in down vests, while I ran around in shorts and a T.
Came back to SE Michigan to keep an eye on my aging parents not even owning a coat. Still scarred from the memory of last winter; thought I was going to die. The utter brutality of it all. Praying that my truck would start to get to work at 6am when it was 27 below zero.
Even worse, I have outdoor animals (horses, goats, barn cats) that I worried sick about. I kept them in the barn for 6 weeks straight! They much prefer to be out.
No way Jose; Oct 31 is WAY too early for the snow that we got yesterday. I think what will save me this year is my first garden grow that I'm about to begin. Something green when all is dead that I can tend and fuss over instead of getting cabin fever.
