We are on a bit of a roller coaster ride with temperatures.  Things slowly warm up and then a couple of back to back cold fronts swing through and cool things down quickly and then a slow climb back up.  We had some good rain this past week while it was warm but in that same day two cold fronts pushed through with one bringing much cooler temps and ice pellets briefly and then another much colder front with snow flurries.  The late drop of leaves this fall have leaves everywhere that will persist on the ground for a while unless people pickup the wet leaves or they dry out and some good winds blow them away.
