mow in a circle to make just one big line of leaves that I then just rake that...
Notice Alaska will be relatively warmer going by OP link map. So when we get cold they get warm.
You must have one or two trees? My house (in town) backs a timber and trail. My backyard will literally be 24" deep in leaves at the end of it.
No way to mow/mulch all that.
Ugh. Looks like we'll have to find a plan B for trick or treating. I think Valley West does an indoor trick or treating event on beggar's night.
As for the leaves, ****. I always just rake them down to the curb and call someone to haul them away; it would cost almost as much to buy all the bags I would need. Less work, too. The problem now is that they've barely even started falling. I can see where this is headed - me having to take an afternoon off from work for the privilege of raking leaves in freezing-ass weather in order to beat a snow forecast.

Yeah, I live in the Waveland Park area. By the time all the sycamore leaves have fallen off I'm about knee deep in the damn things.
The ground is covered down here on the Missouri border, the snow will not last long, but hell, its not even November yet.
Iowa, why do we live here?

KC is pretty similar to Des Moines, perhaps a little warmer. St Louis is probably 10 deg warmer most winter days than here. And we are about 10 degrees warmer than Twin Cities. I'm not sure why so many companies decided that was a good place to locate their offices.
I think this story will help me get over 6" of snow already in October. Yikes.

Notorious cold spot Peter Sinks, Utah, dipped to an incredible minus 45 degrees early Wednesday. This appeared to be the coldest October temperature on record anywhere in the Lower 48 states, according to Utah-based meteorologist Timothy Wright.
Beggar's Night was a real PITA last night. For the first part I had to haul my three year old around, which was ok because she's still small enough that it was like lugging around a space heater - heavy, but warm. After an hour I dropped her off at home and just walked with my eight year old and by the end I was freezing.
The good news - between my two kids we have a peanut allergy, a dairy allergy, and an egg allergy. I am now rich in mini Snickers.

I'm throwing a pumpkin full of candy in the yard and calling it a night
