    I know a lot of folks are yankee :p or otherwise around snow a lot. I rarely see it. I had several snow flakes land on me this morning and it is pretty neat.

    Hopefully it will actually, what's the word?, stick (I think is the term) and we'll be able to see it on the ground... that would be neat.

    yay snow. It actually snowed last year too (didn't "stick"). So two years in a row. wild.

    When did you first see snow this year?

    Your ground is not frozen so it will not last long. I seen snow in August at 12,000 feet in the Rocky's. Heck we even had a snow ball fight.

    First snow up here this year was on October 16. Way too early for my liking.

    Frozen ground? scary. :) I mowed my yard just two weeks ago. I bet you guys don't have to worry about that this time of year!!! I was out there pulling weeds, laying weed&feed, all kinds of yard work. I even had some leaves on the ground.

    All my trees are pretty much still green. My neighbor has one tree that turned yellow. I guess the tree didn't get the memo, we don't have seasons down here! They're suppose to go from green leaves to no leaves... what's with this inbetween stage?! ;D;D

    I haven't even seen the grass in a few weeks now. My entire yard gets shade most the time, so the snow never really melts.

    hello from the great white north ya'll lol. usually by this time weve had a few snowfalls. so far this year , not a lick of it. which is fine by me because i know eventually we will get our fair share. last year at this time , we had a foot of it on the ground , and by the start of jan, it was 50 and snow all melted. but it did return with a vengeance. enjoy it pered. lol.
