They say a picture is worth a thousand words  This is what it looked like in my next of the woods after 3 days of temps in the mid 20's C, (77F) which were records, to dropping down below 0 overnight (32 F) and getting around 15 cm (6 inches) of snow  Just so you know, even though I'm happy to see some much needed moisture and the first snow fall of the year, I blame this 100% on @Krista   She wished this on me for like the past month and a half. 

Now rumour has it snow has been spotted below the Mason Dickson Line already  So curious, have you had any snow? The ways things are I guess it might be appropriate to ask everyone, no matter where you are  

This week we got into a regular groove again and had some missed weekly blogs make their returns.

Monday, Cia was in to introduce us to this gem of a story in our Signature Feature:

Wednesday she was back with an excerpt from the story to entice you into taking a look.

Wednesday was Val's time to talk to us all about anthology themes. She also opened up a couple of polls to gauge opinions out there.

Friday, Additus brought us back to the weekly prompts. Are you thinking it is time to give one a go?

Saturday was Comsie's day to bring a new writing article to help everyone out.

Each morning, depending on where you live  we got a new word of the day:

pleiad, panoply, caravansary, juncture, exonerate, extenuate, cozen

With one week to go, let's make a valiant charge to get our reading stats up there for the month of October:
