First frost

Fall colours

We're well into fall and nights are getting colder. It was cold enough last night that we had our first frost. I woke up this morning and looked across the road at my neighbour's house. There was frost on his roof.

The normal average daily temperature is 10C so its still warm for paddling but the cold nights will quickly cool down the water.

It can be a melancholy time of year for warm weather people and they will move paddling activities to the pool. As we slide towards winter the number of paddlers around here will gradually thin out until there's only a core group of about 10 of us paddling.
