As ambient temperatures decrease, the chance of snow in the New England higher elevations is expected. Seeing white on the peaks in the fall is normal. The words snow and November are not unknown to appear together.
Earth is being Earth, systems moving along as usual. What about our usual? As part of Earth’s biosphere, our weather/emotions can’t be predicted in the way that climate changes are. We, however, can prepare, manage the adjustments each season requires of us.
Out in the wild we seek shelter. We dust off the thermostat, get out winter clothing, shovels, scrapers, lock deicer, windshield cover, hot chocolate, broth, brandy, snow tires, emergency storm kits for vehicle and home, reading list, fun projects for indoors and more.
More can include organizing a soup and casserole recipe book. In winter, foods that comfort as well as battle the cold are a worthy focus.
