The leaves are turning, the wintergreen is dead and 50% of the bracken ferns are dead. That cold snap a few as ago put the plants in fall mode.

Stop it, man! I'm going camping this weekend, and using a whole bunch of my vacation days in September and October. Summer will never end!

I’ll put in a good word for you to Mother Nature. 10C a few days ago, today 28C, but the sensitive plants and unhealthy trees couldn’t take it. They’re dead, dying or flaming. The tops of the tall hills in Northern Ontario, along Highway 17, west of Sault Ste. Marie are flaming.

Worst car wreck I ever saw was on 17. I saw another bad one but only two were dead, one in each car. The Canadian wreck had 5 dead in one convertible.

I grew up just off the 17 we often hear of people killed on the highway. Two lane highway through boulders all 1 foot off the shoulder terrifing considering how busy the highway is.

"According to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), between 2011 and 2015, there were 3,944 collisions on Highway 17, resulting in 1,259 injuries and 57 fatalities)"
That's almost a thousand collisions, fifteen fatalities per year!

The stats seem a little insane, so I've provided a link.
