Oh, you just had to say it out loud, didn’t you. If you’ve brought this down upon us with your careless words I will hunt you down and hurt you. And not in a good way….
We have a gorgeous fall day, sunshine and wind blowing leaves off the trees. We are “promised” 11–12 above sat and sun and then a plunge and snow on Tues. This is central Alberta so that’s celsius. The idea of snow right now is kind of attractive as you say, hot chocolate, blankets and movies.
My only regret about leaving NH is that people in Seattle don’t know how to drive in the snow, nor do they know how to plow properly, so the roads are more dangerous than they ever were in Cheshire County, even after the ice storm a couple of years ago. I miss being able to drive in the snow safely.
The first thing I do every morning is open up the door to see if there’s snow outside. It’s been a possibility for a while in terms of temperature, but we haven’t had the precipitation to make it happen. The mountaintops are already covered with snow, and I can’t wait for it to make it to my valley.
Not yet. It’s coming though, although it’s supposed to be sunny until the end of the weekend. Sunny or not, it sure is mighty cold though…and I like it.
I’m glad you asked this question. No, it’s not snowing here. We don’t get snow until, at the earliest, the 2nd or 3rd week in November, normally, but I was googling to try to find the date of the earliest snow on record here and found out that they are predicting a freak October snow for this Saturday. They’re not predicting any accumulation and it will probably be mostly rain.
Its cold today in Seattle, but there’s no snow. Overall, its a good thing because people freak out and everything shuts down when we get more than a couple of flakes. Kinda miss New England winters though :(
Snowing here in Boston now. The ground’s still too warm for it to stick, but it looks like a coastal storm will pull in a North East wind and we get our first accumulating snow Saturday evening.
THANK HEAVENS, NO!!! It has been cool. It is still warm enough to venture out in the middle of the day and not need a sweater, and still have gals out in minis. Who needs [redacted] snow? That would just ruin everything.
I’ve got two inches on the ground and it’s absolutely gorgeous around my house. Although I did have to get into the car from the back seat because the doors were iced over. :)
As of this evening, it has begun snowing in the city I am vacationing in :) I’m sure it has been sunny and hot back in California whose weather I haven’t missed in the slightest.
@blueiiznh You in New England too? We’re scheduled for 2 – 6 inches tonight with winds up to 60 MPH! Away from the coast, the area may get upwards of a foot of heavy, wet snow. With leaves still on the trees, this is going to take down lots of limbs, trees and power lines.
I just got power back. I’m in Connecticut and we got 5 inches, lots of wind, and low tempetures all without electricity. We got screwed during Irene too.
I want to move.
Still without power. 12 heavy inches of snow. 50 foot white oak laying on my garage, on generator since 9pm. Pretty nasty noprth of Boston.
Hope others are well.
How are you doin’ down there in Jersey, Little Penguin? My friends in Englewood are lamenting the loss of power…again. Good thing they still have candles left from Irene…
Weird… My area of Minnesota’s not supposed to get snow for the next 15 days. WOW. Warm fall!! Looks like the Snow went East for the time being. Sorry, @blueiiznh :(
@linguaphile I grew up in Minnesnowda, so it helped me prep for this fun weather.
It’s all part of the adventure. First time online since Friday! Working from the Health Club.
Power Company says up to a week for power. Its odd looking with all the snow and the leaves and trees strewn on top of it like a hurricane.
The worst it they are postponing Trick or treat in some towns to alternate day. All in a day!
Thanks for the well wishes.
@blueiiznh Good luck, these early storms are the worst. @JilltheTooth How did you guys make out?
Most of the storm missed us in NYS and headed off to the east.
We got some lesser branches down, and there are power outages all over the state…but not here. I can’t decide if I’m really lucky, or just so well prepared (still from Irene) that there was no point in smacking my neighborhood. I have a feeling that a lot of branches and wiring connections were weakened by Irene, and this storm was the breaking point for a lot of them. My fingers are still crossed and wood is being knocked on.
The first few storms also identify the weak limbs in the trees and bring them down. This one was really mean because a lot of trees still had leaves on them.
Day 3 , no power, no internet. I may nave some PSNH lovin by the end of the week.
Most of the trees that fell were healthy but had yet to drop their leaves which added to the weight.
@blueiiznh Is there anything you guys are lacking that we could send. I know lineman come to mind, but any supplies that are getting hard to find in your area?
@Adirondackwannabe I love how the primary Power Company in NH is calling the event “Snowtober”. I appreciate the offer. I have figured out which G stores are open and which Gas Stations don’t have long lines to fuel the generator. I finally found my aircard, so all in all I am doing well. My house has been open to friends and all on my street for warmth and showers, laundry, etc. I have gone through about 3–4 pots of coffee per morning. I actually enjoy the comradery that opens up during these events.
