November 2019 update


Rainy weather to close out October and kick off November here in Southern Ontario. The warm daily temperatures we enjoyed through much of the previous month have come to an end, and those trees which have still retained some of their colorful leaves look to be soon to relinquish those, hopefully before it snows in earnest.
