As a Cincinnatian, I only scream that when white death is raining from the skies during the winter. Living in Boston after last year means I know that after the colorful death falls, white death is sure to follow.
A few years ago I had to make a snow cat trip up one of the local mountains and there was a storm coming, so our team stayed overnight in town near the foot of mountain. In the morning snow was hip deep and we barely made it in our 4X4 trucks to where the snow cat was parked. Deep snow and steep hills are a horrible combination.
my chestnuts have all fallen, hauled off by bushy tailed rats and wild hogs from the swamp behind me. Still quite a few pears in the trees. Hogs got those on the ground. Life is good.
Leave the leaves on the ground.They are a natural part of erosion control, reduce flooding from excessive runoff, purify streams, maintain the water table, provide food for beneficial critters and reduce the need for mowing. Win, win, win, win, win, . . .

I used to live in Iowa. Can’t go back. I’m allergic to that white stuff that falls from the sky in the winter. I break out in chillbumps.

NH-ite here. While I hate the white death, I love the prelude (the colorful leaves) and just tolerate the icky white stuff.

Every season there is a horror, no drama, just a scream queen.

No drama here, and I really like Canadians. I live in Minnesota and my wife and I visit frequently, and never met a Canadian we didn’t like…

Living in Mexico City, I miss autumn but not winter snow and cold. Today it’s sunny, dry and 77° at 5:00 pm, exquisite weather!

Love the trees; love the leaves; love the snow; love the things that grow.
