Frost. Dabs of unexpected snow. Ticks do not hibernate they merely slow down below freezing (diapause). I removed two from Zsolt yesterday. Ticks have a 2–3-year lifespan. The snow, if it comes will end our walking through the perfect habitat for ticks: leaves, water, shade.
If I could, I would not choose ticks nor mosquitoes.
