One of the early 90s great winters came close to wire to wire. Every time it warmed up it was brief with a cold front with squalls ending it. Will probably remembers the year, I want to say 93-94.
My wife almost hit one last week, a small deer ran into the road in front of our car and just stopped and stared into the headlights. Close call but the little guy was alright.
Leaves are a PITA, I set up new house with as little maintenence as possible. When I was younger I loved working on the lawn all day, as I got older I hate it.
