 RH> Fort Huachuca ... a variety of micro climates in the state. Our
 RH> girls got occaisional snow days

We don't have snow days here! Elementary schools cancel outdoor
recesses if the temp or the windchill is -35 or worse. Attendance is
optional at -40 but the doors stay open as many working parents
wouldn't be able to find a baby sitter on short notice and at least
half the kids will show up. Middle school and high school students
never catch a break.

Going through my fall beet and squash recipes I came across an
interesting South African dish that uses both of them:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Lesotho Beetroot, Orange And Pumpkin Sambal
 Categories: African, Vegetables, Condiments
      Yield: 2 quarts 
    800 g  Cooked beetroot, peeled and
    Diced
      1    Cinnamon stick
    450 g  Pumpkin, peeled and finely
    Grated
           Finely-grated zest of
      2    Oranges
      1 tb Mustard powder
    600 ml Malt (or red wine) vinegar
    220 g  Granulated sugar
    1/2 ts Cayenne pepper
      1 tb Curry powder

  Like surrounding South Africa, Malay influences are quite strong
  in Lesothan cuisine with spicy curries and chutneys.

  Combine all the ingredients in a large pan and bring to a boil.
  Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes, stirring
  occasionally. Allow to cool a little then spoon into sterilized jars
  and seal. Allow to mature for at least 3 weeks before using. Store
  in a cool, dry, place.
