Please say hello to this coatimundi my friend met up in the mountains. I have never seen one! She named him Herman.
We don't get any fall colors around here but they do up in the mountains at 8000-9000 ft. (2400 - 2700m).

You must be well into Spring now - I am very jealous! I’m 6 months away from Spring
Snow today the horses were neighing to be let in, I didn’t rug them up this morning as I was hedging my bets it would stop snowing. Poor old gals.
Guess I can take down their fans hahahaha!
Currently -3C (27F) and snowing. Only about 2” on the ground though as the ground is still warm. Very cold tonight for this time of year and a wind chill.
Supposed to warm up later this week…

Oooo awesome! Are they related to raccoons?
Beautiful Fall colours. Are trees are bare now.
Wow, you're right, they are procyonids which includes raccoons, ringtails, cacomistles, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, and olinguitos. I had to look that up!
Some people say the seasons start at the top of the mountains and slowly make their way down, so while it's spring here it's fall in the mountains, then when it's winter in the mountains it'll be fall here. It's a crazy place to live. I will never look at the seasons the same way again!
You live in a beautiful place!
Monday 10th of November 8.17a.m. Cloudy and cold. 16.7 / 22.2kph NW, Hg 50%, 18C / 65.7F feels like 15.5C / 59.9F. Forecast: Mostly sunny and 22C / 72F. Marine wind warning.

More fun & games from the BoM ... no guessing why they get dubbed the BuMs
Firefighters are concerned by the lack of fire danger rating numbers on the new BOM site. (ABC News: Sharon Gordon)
Volunteer firefighters say essential safety information is missing from the Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) new website.
The BOM's "modern and sleek" website update was met with a storm of controversy since it went live last month.
First it was the accessibility and the colour scheme used in certain maps, and then the cost of the website was brought into question.
Volunteer firefighters in Victoria have warned that numerical fire danger ratings have not been transferred from the old site, a gap some fire chiefs fear could put lives at risk.
"I've also had a lot of calls from concerned residents in regards to [the new website] not having the fire index numbers," Glen Park CFA brigade captain Tracey Webber said.
"People have noticed that that information is missing — not just me as a volunteer firefighter."
The new website does give each region a rating using shades ranging from white (no rating) through to red (catastrophic).
They run from "no rating" to moderate, high, extreme and catastrophic.
The old iteration of the BOM website also provided a daily numerical value, allowing residents and firefighters to know exactly where on the scale the forecast fell.
That information can no longer be seen on the new website.
"I think that level of detail [is something] people look for, particularly those that listen to the fire services about developing a plan for their own property and their family if something goes desperately wrong," dairy farmer and south-west CFA group officer Mark Billing said.
"There's a big gap between the ratings, so having the numbers sort of gives you the relative danger or the relative fire behaviour within that fire danger rating."
The ABC understands work is underway to migrate that information across to the new website and that in the meantime the information can be found on the old website.
The BOM was unable to give an exact time frame on when the information would be available on the new site.
"That one is going to be changed," BOM general manager of environmental prediction services Matt Collopy said.
"We are looking and working with the emergency management authorities, the fire authorities like CFA, to actually update that not just for Victoria, but for the country."

What's missing?
During a Victorian fire season the BOM gives each of the state's 10 regions ratings out of five to indicate how dangerous a fire could be.They run from "no rating" to moderate, high, extreme and catastrophic.
The old iteration of the BOM website also provided a daily numerical value, allowing residents and firefighters to know exactly where on the scale the forecast fell.
That information can no longer be seen on the new website.
