First snow of the year!

A couple inches last night here too. All gone now. High today was only 34.
Hard to believe a couple weeks ago it was around 80 and muggy. Looks like we went straight from August to November skipping my 2 favorite months of the year.

Tell me about it

I got down to Mississippi from Virginia a month ago - had some projects that required warmth and was looking forward to the period when it's below 85°F and above 70°F, usually from mid September to November. I've a bunch of concrete work to do.
Buy NOOOO!! It was near 100° then high 90°'s (except for a day w/5 inches of rain) until Oct 10th. Now it's dropped down to the 60°'s!

Went from mid summer temps to late fall

Now it's tree cutting weather.

Maybe next year.

It looks like we have a nice week of sunny weather coming up. I'll let the grass grow a bit more and mow one more time. (short)

We've already had our first good snowfall, little over a week ago. About 11" total. Still have a good bit of it on the ground, and was nearly 70F yesterday.

We had a record high for yesterday, 75deg. We are having an unbelievable, beautiful sunny week lasting through Sunday they say. All I know, it will be nasty as usual by Halloween.

You know - I'm with you 2Lane. As I age, ever so gracefully, winter is no longer such a fun time. I don't romp/play in the snow anymore - I plow or shovel it. The cold may nip at my nose but it also makes my poor old hands hurt. Its a lot more fun now to sit in my easy chair sipping a steaming cup of "laced" cocoa and LOOKING outside when its cold. Warm is much more friendly.
