It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
« on: October 29, 2011, 06:39:37 AM »
Well the weather prognosticators didn't miss on this one. It started snowing about 6:15 AM this morning. Two inches already on the ground and it's snowing pretty hard.
We're in the 6"-12" area!!

It's going to be a long winter.

I've lived in the east.  It'll probably be 70 degrees and sunny day after tomorrow.

Oh, BTW . . . Bah Humbug!  ;)

No snow here yet, and maybe not much to come, but there is rain of a cold, windblown sort, and on my drive home from an errand it was clear that there were little bits of ice in many of the drops hitting the windshield.  I don't remember, in over five decades here, ever seeing snow on the ground in October.  And I haven't yet, but tomorrow morning may be "different."

We've got about 3 inches of wet snow on the ground and it's still coming at a good clip. We've had an earthquake, hurricane and now snow before Halloween. Strange year!

The weather man in N.Y.C. said this was only the 3rd time it snowed in Oct. since the Civil War.

Mike, I'm sure it will be gone in a couple of days. Then you can get some crisp, scenic Fall riding in.
It's still pretty warm out here, I wouldn't mind having some snow.    ;)

We're getting hit pretty hard in Connecticut.  Up to 21" and 610,000 without power.   

I was looking forward to Winter, but this is just crazy.

Come to Seattle where it is rainy and in the low 50's.  It's a heat wave here!  Seriously, that is pretty early for snow.  But I remember about 40 years ago, we had some snow in October one morning, but it was gone by noon.  But I am hoping for a lot of snow this winter in our nearby mountains!  I am ready to go skiing!   O0  ^-^  :)

We wound up with about 8-9 inches and a LOT of trees and large branches down We were without power for about 35 of the last 36 hours It just came back on about 30 minutes ago.

Most of it has already melted  about 4 inches left. It will be almost all gone by tomorrow.
