As I walked out to my car sitting in the driveway this morning I noticed something that I hadn’t seen for the better part of half a year.

A fine, thin layer of ice on the windshield. Now I knew I would be running 5-10 minutes later than I had planned because of this unexepected inconvenience.

This to me marks the unofficial first frost of the season in Roanoke. And also a sure sign that Fall is here to stay this time.

What a difference a month makes. Just a matter of a few weeks ago I was writing a  different tune (The Weekend of High Gas Prices and Hot Weather), and here we are now with temperatures falling, as well as those gas prices.

Both gas prices and the temperatures have basically been cut in half in some situations from what they were just a few weeks ago during that crazy weekend.

I have every reason to believe now that gas is essentially “on sale” at $2.79ish and there are lots of pumps open.
