Quickly turning over to snow but still some sleet mixed in. Tulip glass measuring only a trace so far.

Just found out that my city is doing trick or treating tonight instead of tomorrow... Glad I'm already stocked up. I think that's twice now since I've lived here that they didn't do it on Halloween.

Saturday BBQ. Smoked some jalapeรฑo poppers, a block of cream cheese, and a pork butt. Also grilled some burgers & hotdogs. Wouldn't be complete without a batch of frozen margs.
