Anyone else seeing signs of an early winter?

I have seen more deer movement in the last week or so, and cooler at night (high 50's - low 60's). Those are the only seasonal changes I have noticed here in Ohio.

Yup. Nights are cooling down quite a bit, and the days are not so hot anymore. Quite pleasant, really. But it makes the lake cool down, and not so pleasant for swimming!

An Indian tribal chief​

decided to call his local National Weather Service office to see what kind of winter was expected. The forecaster replied, "Well, it looks like it will be cold." So the chief gathered his tribe together and warned them that the winter would be cold, so they needed to start collecting fire wood.
A couple of weeks later, the chief wanted an update, so he telephoned the forecaster again. "Actually, it's looking colder than our previous thinking," said the meteorologist. The chief once again gathered his people. "The winter outlook is for even colder conditions. We need to collect more wood." And so the tribe did.

A month passes. The chief calls for yet another update. The weatherman says, "Yeah, you know it's starting to look really cold now, probably in the top ten of the coldest winters." And so the chief orders everyone to increase their efforts in gathering wood.

Another month goes by. The chief decides to make one last call to the Weather Service to get the latest forecast. The meteorologist on the phone says, "It is now looking like the most bitter, coldest winter on record!"

The chief thanked him for the warning, and as an afterthought asked the forecaster, "How do you know it's going to be that bad a winter?"

The weatherman replied,"Because the local Indians are collecting wood like crazy!"

Grass not growing as quick anymore ferns starting to turn brown,other than that as of last year.

I'm a couple hours north of you, and with all the rain we've had over the last month or so, my lawn is more like June than late August. Normally I have some brown patches where the soil is thin, but this year even those are still green, mowing every 4-5 days. Weeds have totally taken over the garden!
Other than that, fairly typical late summer.

The easiest way to get ready for winter is buy her a new shovel and turn your dishwasher into a snowblower...!

About 50 years ago I was working for a developer building a large office park in San Diego. Marriott bought one of the parcels to build a hotel. At that time Marriott had their own architects who were located in Washington DC.

On one of their architects visits I met with him one winter day to go over certain design and construction issues related to the park. Temperatures were probably in the 70’s.

After we walked the site he asked me why we planted so many deciduous trees when the weather would allow trees that remained green year round.

I looked at him and said…. “That’s how we know its winter”.

Had to close all of the windows 2 nights ago, too cold inside of the log house.

Yesterdays high was 67F and this morning was 35F.

Have all of my firewood inside of the woodshed, 8.5 cords (normally burn 3.5 - 5.5 per winter).

Woodshed is 32' x 12' with additional access thru the garage, looking into (first pic) the woodshed 2 rows deep on the right, 3 rows deep in the far back, and 1 row deep on the left.

This spring the fir beetle killed 10 of my 100' tall fir trees, and while finishing cutting up 4 of them I noticed another 8 fir trees died.

Good news from the fir trees is next year I'll not need to purchase another load of logs for firewood.

Wow, your woodpile is a lot neater than mine!
