REUTERS – Motorcyclist, 91 year-old Ernst Baltisberger from Switzerland, prepares himself before driving his partly self-made motorbike on the new A4 “Knonaueramt” motorway near Affoltern am Albis November 13, 2009. The 15.7 km (9.7 mile) long new A4 motorway opened for traffic on Friday to link Zurich’s new west motorway ring to the Kanton Zug.

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, it won’t be long before the snow starts flying here in the Northeast. Jack Frost has already nipped at our toes once this season leaving behind the first hard frost. With daytime temps still in the mid-50s and 60s, however, we are getting out and enjoying these spectacular days of autumn while we can.
