Woke up to 38 F./3 C. and rain yesterday. I was thinking we might get our first snow yesterday, but it did not happen. The temperature stayed about the same all day but the rain stopped, so we went into the gardens and harvested all the pumpkins and winter squash. We also harvested the remaining crabapples and the remaining eating apples. Somehow my tractor tire developed a leak, so that slowed things down a bit. We harvested the carrots we have in containers as well, so now we have to decide if the carrots, onions, and potatoes in the ground need to be dug and collected. It is quite late for our first frost, and my wife pulled up a memory post from Facebook that showed a significant snowfall on this date 5 years ago today. It snowed to the north of us a significant amount--8 inches as last i checked, but that is on the other side of the Alaska Range, so we are maybe safe for a while. Time to get winter tires on though.
