It is still autumn over here. Some plants that usually shed their leaves haven't.

We usually have a few days or months with ice and snow. A bunch of ice days each year; that's frost (air temp below freezing point) the whole day.
Two years back we had the first winter ever with no ice days. This year looks like it will be the second ever.

I had to scrape ice from the windscreen for the 3rd time this prolonged autumn. Instead of every day for weeks on end as it used to be, if I forgot the blanket. We had record warm days the past few days, but now a sudden dip. it didn't even really freeze, the side windows were wet.

The stoat was a common predator over here but is in danger of going extinct locally. It has a white winter coat, which color is totally unhelpful nowadays.

I have last mown the grass in December. It looks like I need to mow again soon. Come summer I can stop mowing as the grass will likely just die then.

We're at 52 degrees north.
