Not ready for winter yet

I checked on my hives at home today and I would say that I'm not really ready for winter yet.

CSX split has one deep with brood and stores and a medium of capped honey
Package 1 has 3 mediums with two brood boxes and a box of stores
Package 2 is my testiest hive and it has two medium brood boxes and a medium box of partial stores
Demeter is just one deep of brood and a medium with hardly any stores.  This hive needs to be feed every day.
Demeter split I didn't have time to open but feels the heaviest at about 80lbs.  It will be check next week.

Mites were not out of control and the shb were few.
