The first real snowfall of this year covered the trees with silver and is still sticking. Instant cold. The Winter Solstice occurs this year on December 21 at 12:47pm EST.
A question for all you horticulturalists– is it usual for roses to have a second bloom this late into the Fall?
Recurring Nightmare 
My friend Jo-Ann Langseth says this is a regular thing. I have never seen it in our neighborhood. I would imagine you would need a spot that gets a lot of sun.

There’s a lot of roses in my neighborhood, but they’re wilting now in the cold. I saw forsythias blooming today off Mineral Spring Ave– just a few yellow blossoms.
It looks like the frost and the freeze has moved in. I’ll try to love it. If I hibernate I’ll be too out of shape to enjoy the spring.
