I've seen years when we don't September is at 85 degrees and then October brings snow.

I'm lookin for leaves

 

[Glenn316]

A real fall where the leaves don't get knocked off the trees by rain would be good too!

Wow, I haven't checked this thread in awhile, so I'm re-introducing myself.

I live in Warren, play paintball and poker, so if you SE Michigan types want to get together for a bit of either, leme know, I'll put together a mailing list or something and try to make it happen.

Or we can omit the paintball and poker and do something else.

We sure do!!! I have never actually seen it myself. Isn't that crazy? I think it is more for tourists.
