Anyone hoping for an Indian Summer – a string of warm days after a frost – this year can keep on wishing. The warm, humid weather that extended summer nearly to the calendar start of autumn was quickly replaced with a gloomy chill and frosty mornings. Some residents of Bradford, Sullivan and Susquehanna counties already saw their first flakes of snow last week, if not a dusting. Much of the same is in the offing over the next week, with the following week looking pretty damp.
