Freezing Cold Hiking

I like when it's cold enough for frost. We had a day of two like that in late October, and since then, nothing but warmish rain, and really weirdly warm days. I have lettuce in the ground with only a little cover that hasn't frozen yet. Fall Bulbs I planted months ago are trying to come up in the warm weather. I really can't wait for some snow, or at least an actual cold rain. My rosebushes, not only still have leaves, most of them still have buds. Weeks ago the blueberries considered opening their buds and starting Spring. A few days ago I saw an Autumn Meadowhawk (Sympetrum vicinum) in my back yard. It is way too warm out right now. Some pics from Moose Hill from October 30th, the last time it was really cold here.
