Pick the poison, ha. Its always a big topic in the northern tier rural zones. I had an entire UVM course around the Maine Winter Sports Center and combating lack of activity in kids (and their parents) during the darkest and coldest times of the year. Got some great trips out of that class to Fort Kent, lol. I’ve always wondered how activity levels after school and work would be if we could combine heat with low daylight. Like gets dark at 4pm but it’s still 80F at 8pm. Does that change routines of basically hibernating (especially more rural communities) during the dark time of year. ha..We're at war today, pf. I think blaming an hour time difference is an excuse; that's the part of the statement I disagree with. Eat better, make time to exercise and people will be healthier. It's probably harder during the short days in the winter, but if people just say screw it, then that's the results they'll get. Long summer days are awesome too. I guess it's just part of the change of seasons to me. And even though 12z op went warmer, I think the cold the 10th through the 15th is a bit stronger on the ensemble than the previous run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have already had multiple mornings below freezing here and several in the upper 20s yet they’re still going. You need high temps below 50 combined with multiple freezes, iirc.

Haha for sure life choices trump everything. I was just playing the devils advocate and sourpuss at losing my end of day light outside with the dog… already transitioning to the headlamp. Bottom line… Get out and ski or ride . Luckily there are places that turn on the lights for that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady bugs are bonkers these days up here. South/sunny side just plastered with the things. High of 63F but high clouds capped the warming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually try to avoid but so fed up I'm actively crushing them in my hands. Their season seems to be getting longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Out hunting this morning and sat for a few hours before scouting out the property were hunting, There was a beehive in a tree at least 12' off the ground the size of a beach ball, I was not getting up close to see if anyone was home in there, I'll try to get a pic next time out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The underground nests are still going I'd bet. Some of the workers have died but there are more still hatching until the days get colder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
