I'm Clyde Lewis, and this is Ground Zero.

The number is to call it at 5-0-3-2-5-0-8-60, or 8-6-6-5-3-6-7-4-6-9.

I think the worst thing, last night, first of all, I went to bed early, relatively early.

And the reason why is because I think the worst thing about the autumn and the winter

is that it gets darker earlier in the day.

At a guy comment, you know, I was in a lift card, he said, yeah, I don't look forward to the darkness.

Because, you know, the farther north you go, the darker gets.

And as I said, when I was doing my video before I came in here, the polar vortex is forming again, they say.

So, I think that's going to indicate an early winter, at least an early frost.

They were doing reports today about Mount Hood, and the thing about Hood was getting snow.

So, I mean, it's pretty early for the snow to hit Mount Hood, I guess.

Pretty early for any of the mountains to get snow.

My sister was telling me it was getting cold, or she is, and she's in Salt Lake City.

So, it seems like every year, I mean, even though, you know, they always complained about how hot the temperatures have been.

Cold seems to arrive earlier and earlier anymore.

That's just my thought.

It's been cloudy and darker here in the Pacific Northwest.

We had something like, well, they say that, you know, Portland or Oregon itself is supposed to be rainy all the time.

We didn't have much rain this summer. It just didn't happen. It was a beautiful summer.

We had temperatures getting up into the hundreds.
