Not ready for the season to change yet. Frosted this morning.

Wherebouts, without being too specific if you don't want to?

18F in Delta area

BRRRRRR! But I miss that place. Any guess how long before you can run a snow machine up the Tanana?

I can smell the currants and spruce needles from here.
Something magic about fall up there.

This is the first time I've been homesick since I moved down here.

Ed

It won't be the last.

Calling for frost here tonight in Fingerlakes area, Upstate New York!

August 8th, my wife and I were standing in the shade, eating ice cream after gassing up at one of your stations. On our way to Fairbanks. Had a great time in our two weeks in Alaska! Didn't care much for the smoke just outside Delta Junction and almost all the way to Nenana.

Good hard freeze the last two mornings. Ice on the puddles, on top of fuel drums ect.... Mid 20's

Had frost on the 4-wheeler yesterday. Don't got no pumpkins here, so that will have to do....

It's the fermenting Interior high-bush cranberry smell for me. When I hit Fairbanks in 1968 on September 5, that created a permanent memory. It stinks, but that's "fall" to me in Alaska ever since. Don't have it here, or much on the Kenai. i miss it.

Frost, heck we had snow on August 20th, of course we were a little farther North.







I do think it was below freezing in midtown last night though.

We had hard frost where you and I camped by the burn. It did no harm to all the gnats, sadly.

I have the same tent and have seen it in exactly the same circumstances... Only deeper and whiter...

Ed, roadtrip? We can be in Tok in 12 hours.

1st temp below 37 since May for me to ...27 at 1000' along the parks hwy north of nenana....here it comes...............my trees still have 99.5 of their leaves...maybe a false flag???

Hot and dusty in Juneau,,,naw its sprinkling but warm and calm, has been all Summer.

We had snow a couple weeks ago for an hour or two. First ice on the puddles this morning.

Yeah, but you live in Alaska.

Only visiting. But this may take some time. I'm only just learning the country now that I am full-time and only working 40 hrs/week, instead of half time at 60-70...

See there- promotions up the seniority ladder are good! Some other poor bastid gets "juniored" for open shifts, called in sick., vacations, etc.

Ice in the tundra puddles on my way home at sunset from a down-beach ATV run looking for caribou/moose. Reformed after my 3 p.m. run going.. Beatuiful, but windy day tho.

Them geese were making a hard time of i, following the contours.

In the am, the shotgun goes along...Maybe something will come over close enough...

WELL...I GOT A INCH OF SNOW.....THANK U !!!! had to sweep car off ....the road north to skinnys sucked!!!

We had a few flakes on the ground this morning, but nothing like that. After the late breakup, not really excited about the idea of an early winter. Not much to be done about it though. Keep your smile and drive safe.

This. The smell of high bush always brings thoughts of fall and moose hunting. I'm thankful to still live in an area where they are plentiful.

We had a pretty good frost way down here on Tuesday night. I am NOT ready for this chit-feels like we didn't even have summer yet.

Had 15-18 at the house Monday morning of our friends, they said its usually 5 or so colder where we were. It seemed like it could have been 15 for sure, maybe even 10. I thought it was a bit nippy.

Beats coming home to 94 at dark. And to know we could have that for another month or more.

You get 9 months of frozen hell, we get 9 months of burned up hell. I"m ready to try the frozen part. Can dream at least.

A LOT happier at 30 than 110 in the shade.

Man, you very poetically described the exact same memory I have. Isn't interesting how those youthful memories are so powerful?
