The days grow shorter, as nights come quickly, and mornings stay dark. Leaves litter the ground in marvelous colors, a sure steady sign of mating season is soon to come. The weather is a bitter wind enough to chill any wolf to the bone, sunny skies with whispy clouds about. Temperatures range from freezing in the early mornings, to high 40's mid-day, and back to below freezing during night. Large prey is usually found migrating towards the West, disappearing until long after Winter has passed. After they leave Misery Plains, food sources will become limited to small prey, winter dwelling animals, and winter fruit. Most birds have left by now.
