Red Sky!

On Monday evening this week (October 24) Debby and Mary were returning home from a dance class when they noticed that the sky was red, this was after dark at about 9:30 pm. The next day Debby informed us that what they had seen northern lights, the result of a huge coronal mass ejection from the Sun which collided with the Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field and created a visible light show at unusually low latitudes.

First frost of the season Oct 3, 2011

It was 35 degrees outside this morning according to the thermometer. We had frost on the grass, I had to find my ice scraper so I could clear the windshield of my car this morning.
