Signs of winter coming; what have you seen?

[ferniesnow]

Hunting season is 5 days away and the tree colours are just starting to change.

i just got home from the gun range... always do that end of the summer even if its +33

Hope you guys don't have the bush closed. I've heard rumours in some sectors that it is a distinct possibility.

 

[imdoo'n]

here is your sign

I hope we don't either but it is certainly dry out there

It's open here, lots of rain and campfires are a go.

Seeing zero signs here Doug. Gonna be the earliest harvest completion for me ever if things don't change. Plus 33 today. Winter is aways away yet.

Snow is close cause I'm constantly on kijiji looking for a new sled!

Tested a 2 stroke at the end of last year. It felt like 1/2 the weight of the turbo!

 

[Cyle]

How early the sun is going down. Working until it's pitch dark is soon. Think I'm looking forward to winter this year, if it is the year I finally get a sled again. Because if it's not a winter of sledding, winter sucks.....

Been cooling off a lot more at night, had a couple 7-9 degree mornings and man did that cool crispness feel nice!

Saw some harder than usual nipples....

oh buddy tell me about it, was at the beach Saturday and the scenery was fine... and pokey.

Not so much a sign of winter coming but maybe a deep snow winter. If the old timers are right saying the amount snow you can plan on getting depends on how high the wasps are building hives off the ground it should be a good snowfall this year in the Pass, everything I've seen so far is 10+ feet off the ground versus some years at 2-3 feet....fingers crossed!!

I'll try and take a couple of pics of my yard, my leaves are going yellow and dropping like mad

 

[ferniesnow]

The humming birds have been gone for awhile now. The mountain ash berries are in full color and leaves are turning. I like the cool nights (been anywhere from 2C to 8C and that is a distinct sign that summer is waning) but for the first time since we have be out here, it is still very hot nearing the end of August.

We are going to have to get some heavy rain or there will be no moisture to make snow. I do like what Summit 934 said about the hornet nests. Bring on lots of snow.

When I was on holidays at the end of July, we stayed in Clearwater for a couple of nights. We seen hornets nests about 10 ft off the ground.

 

[arff]

Hmm might have to hit up my ol' stomping grounds this winter. I mean ah uhm... too bad there is no good riding there.

tree stands are up for hunting

Have 14 stands up at the farm and my uncles place.............no matter wind direction there is always a good stand to sit in.

Black poplar leaves and undergrowth changing color......fall is here and winter close behind.

 

[52weekbreak]

Saw a flock of geese a formed up at quite an altitude. If they haven't started moving it was a pretty impressive and convincing practice run

 

[moyiesledhead]

Mountain across the lake from me is on fire. I'm not seeing much sign of winter yet.
