Prince George, B.C.-  Good-bye summer...

What a beautiful way to go out, with two days of golden sunshine.

8:09pm PDT marks the official start of fall -- when the sun begins moves southward, across the celestial equator.  During the equinox, the length of night and day around the world is nearly equal.

You'll start to notice the days growing shorter from now until the winter solstice, which falls on December 21st this year.

The 2010 Farmers' Almanac is predicting an "Ice Cold Sandwich" winter, with bitter cold in the central provinces, while the west and east coasts are expected to be more in line with normal temperatures.

In the meantime, it is the raking season, with leaves lining the sidewalk at the College of New Caledonia this afternoon ( at right).

Picture below shows the 'flower truck' that's been parked at the Tourist Information Centre at the corner of Highways 16 and 97 all summer.  The picture was taken on Monday, before our two cold overnight frosts.
