The temperature at the time the images were taken was -11C and it was snowing lightly. There was 25 mm of snow on the ground.
The weather has been unusually dry and most of October was relatively warm. I can remember past Octobers that ended with the temperatures in the -30C range. But not this year!
The sun rose today, 5 November, at 9:53 am and will set at 5:18 pm, for a total day length of 7 hours 25 minutes. This is about 3.5 fewer hours of daylight from this time last month. Winter is here!
