An Uninvited Guest

We are finally getting over a spell of bad weather here brought on by the dregs of tropical storm "Nicole". Lot's of rain and wind (nothing like FL, though), enough to topple some trees and put some communities out of power for a short while.

The worst of it, though, is that it finally actually "feels" like Fall outside. Cool, damp, windy days and the Fall foliage colours are just past their peak. From here on in, it's nothing but cold weather, bare branches and probably too much snow. Luckily we had a pretty nice September and first half of October. I am going to try this Winter, though, to get outside more (even though I hate the cold) and do some stuff to enjoy the season rather than endure it. I've tried snowshoeing before and it was great fun - I may try that again. Any other ideas for great Wintertime activities? (Don't say skiing - tried that, much to my pain and embarrassment..)
