down here season starts noverber 2nd (lastyear) it was about 90degrees all season till the next to last weekend when the cold front finally hit put us in the 40s. i wish they would move our season back to end/mid december. it didnt get cold till the weekend after Xmas, we still had PLENTY of good acorns on the trees. and no need for the deer to move from the beding for food.
