Default Ugh, winter's almost here a sure sign

Just went out and got Sunday's DRF. First track I look at is Aqueduct as usual, and there is no stakes race. Thats it, the surest sign that winter is almost here. This is the first Sunday since last winter where no stakes race will be run, which is what happens up here in the winter.
In addition to that, there are 6 tracks in my edition of the DRF, Aqueduct, calder, CD, Philly Park, Delaware, and Hollywood. Out of the 6 tracks in there, only 3 stakes races are being run with none being graded or worth more than 100 grand(Hollywood has a 60K grass stakes, Calder has a 45K stakes race, and Churchill has a 100K grass sprint stakes race). Anybody know the last time we had a Sunday without a graded stakes race at any track?
When you pick up a weekend DRF and can't find any graded stakes, you KNOW winter is almost here.
Guess I better search the closet for my gloves, winter hat, boots, and winter jacket.
