Quoting Ruth Haffly to Dave Drum <=-

Fort Huachuca ... a variety of micro climates in the state. Our
girls got occaisional snow days

We don't have snow days here! Elementary schools cancel outdoor
recesses if the temp or the windchill is -35 or worse. Attendance is
optional at -40 but the doors stay open as many working parents
wouldn't be able to find a baby sitter on short notice and at least
half the kids will show up. Middle school and high school students
never catch a break.

Going through my fall beet and squash recipes I came across an
interesting South African dish that uses both of them:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Lesotho Beetroot, Orange And Pumpkin Sambal
Categories: African, Vegetables, Condiments
Yield: 2 quarts
800 g Cooked beetroot, peeled and
Diced
1 Cinnamon stick
450 g Pumpkin, peeled and finely
Grated
Finely-grated zest of
2 Oranges
1 tb Mustard powder
600 ml Malt (or red wine) vinegar
220 g Granulated sugar
1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
1 tb Curry powder

Like surrounding South Africa, Malay influences are quite strong
in Lesothan cuisine with spicy curries and chutneys.

Combine all the ingredients in a large pan and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring
occasionally. Allow to cool a little then spoon into sterilized jars
and seal. Allow to mature for at least 3 weeks before using. Store
in a cool, dry, place.

Hi Jim,

Back in the real world again. We were on a cruise ship this past week,
out of NYC to Boston, Providence and then Sydney, Cape Breton and
Halifax, NS. We went with Steve's mom, siblings & spouses and a niece.

We used to have them quite often when I was growing up, more for snow
than for cold. I understand now that the county Board of Education is considering doing away with them, making the kids do on line classes
when conditions are too bad to transport students.

Something to consider as we're moving into cooler temperatures. Our
older daughter (in Utah) said they had snow flurries today. We were in
the 60s but I'm browsing the instant pot cook book for colder weather
recipies.
