Did you know... today, November 7, 2007 is 'cross-quarter day'- so what's that you might be wondering.  Well if you check your calendar... it's exactly halfway between the fall equinox (9/23/07) and the winter solstice (12/22/07).  Huh... who knew.  Guess that means we're that much closer to winter.  Tell that to the people in Buffalo, NY where they picked up close to a foot of lake-effect snow yesterday... and it's still snowing there today.   Signs of winter here too... lots of 20s this morning and frost- even a little black ice leftover from yesterday's rain.  Oh, and while we were getting rain here yesterday, they picked up 10.7" of snow on top Mt. Washington.

In ancient times... cross-quarter days had a bit more significance.  They would actually begin the season on these days instead of having it be the midpoint of a season.   All I know is personally, I'm that much closer to having my baby.  About 4 and 1/2 more weeks to go... winter can't come soon enough for my this year!
