OK all you southern types, I got up from the computer to let the dogs out and the front pasture is officially white. Yee Haw

We just had the second rain of the season. The first was in September, and surprisingly strong for a September rain. We rarely get snow, and if we do, it rarely survives long on the ground.

We kind of missed October weather altogether. It just went from Sept to November. There is 10 cm of snow on the ground that may not melt until spring the way the weather has been going. Halloween was cold, we only got about 45 kids and had prepared for 80 (the usual).

I really don't need the calories from all that candy and lil bags of potato chips but d@$m it I paid for it so I'll eat it

i love the snow.
i love how the sky looks in the winter...it looks different. it may just be me.

This is what is amazing about the time in which we live. I remember an excerise in freshman english class, wherein we all pulled a slip of paper from a hat. The class then proceeded to the library. My slip said; determine the weather, including temperature, of London yesterday. I found the information in the New York Times. Today Captain Swoop informs me of this virtually real time. Wow!!

News flash.... Now it is both snowing fairly hard and lightning and thunder. That is very uncommon around here.

What, no pictures!!?

I fly in to Colomus tomorrow nite, and then head to the SE corner to Marietta after landing. What are my chances of snow? [One year I got stranded in New Concord when at -13F. ]

You'll be OK. The snow is that weird thing called Lake Effect.

We had two snowstorms in October here in Colorado Springs. One was a 2 weeks ago and dropped about 5" at my house. The last one was a week ago today. It dumped over a foot of snow.

Funny thing about snow here is that how bad the storm, the sun will come out in a day or two. The Saturday after that Thursday storm, I saw a man with Ohio plates on his car who just couldn't believe the change in the weather (it was almost 70 degrees). He'd just moved here a week earlier.

Colorado Springs must've been the inspiration for that Little Orphan Annie song, "The Sun'll Come Out Tomorrow".

Thanks, the Lake Effect and the George's Driving Effect do not make a pretty mix.

I live south of you in New Mexico & we can get some heavy snows too,then the sun comes out & even though I'm wearin' snow boots,it'll be warm enough to wear just a t-shirt.It's possible to get a bad sunburn on days like that,with the sun reflecting off the snow.

What's really fun is to go the ski areas & see girls skiing in bikinis,woo hoo!!!

Yep - here near Boulder, we had the same thing. MASSIVE dump about a week ago (Actually, exactly a week ago) that was about a foot and a half at our house. By this last Sunday, it was completely melted and ~65 degrees out.

You got snow up there in maddy? I'm south of columbus, no snow. Very $#(!'n cold tho. We had flurries last week but nothing's stuck to anything so far. I guess winter is inevadable (at least until my global warming device finishes it's job. mwahahaha...oh). Oh well. At least it'll be good and cold for the OSU game saturday. Cold and football is the best!

I work in Stow and live in Mentor. When I left work at 7:00 the skies were clear in Stow with the moon out. By the time I got to Solon it started to snow, and by Mayfield Heights it was coming down hard (for you outsiders we are talking about 20 miles or so).

Yep, Lake Effect.

Luckily the highway guys in Lake County really know how to move the white stuff; my hat's off to the Lake County ODOT (Cuyahoga should take leasons).

It was sunny and blue today and the high was 67F. Forecast for tomorrow is the same.

I did my pentance for 23 years in Michigan, 6 of them on the Southern shores of Lake Superior. Snow is fine as long as it lasted for a week or two.

Well, so far it's looking pretty good, with more than our average

I can't wait to go skiing - the snow should be pretty decent by mid december or so... (OK, it'll probably be terrible, but I'll ski anyways...)

Hi, Here in Rhode Island, we just lost most of the leaves; but had 67 degrees for the preceding two days. At 11:30 PM now, I have 30 degrees.......But...
NO Snow!!! We don't need no snow. We don't need no Steenkin Snow!!!
Carumbah It will be here soon enough though. Gotta rebuild that snow thrower. Give me a sonic screwdriver. Where's K-9 when you need him?.......
Best regards, Dan

That sounds really painful to me. Especially the, you know, falling down bit.

We won't get snow here (if at all) for probably another month and more. Every year, I hope for a white Yule, but we haven't gotten one the entire time I've been living here. But my roommate's going back to the Dayton area Monday and will be there about a month, so she'll almost certainly see snow before I do.
