Too soon!!!!!!

So sorry to hear about the early snow....I’d be disgruntled, too.

No snow here yet, but we’ve had plenty of rain...it’s been a very soggy year. I think I’m molding.

I'll say you've had plenty of rain! Our rainfall this year had been about normal...can't imagine how many trees would be falling over here if the ground got super-soggy.
Sure hope you get a break from now on.

Supposedly the next 5-7 days will be sunny. I’m not holding my breath. lol Luckily I haven’t lost any trees yet. I was supposed to put in gravel for a new driveway and parking area on the other side of my house. We haven’t had enough of a break for the ground to dry out for delivery...since May. If a dump truck came in, it would sink to its axels. Maybe this winter?

That's gotta be frustrating! Looks like I'm catching a break here now...it's sunny & warming up, with mostly good (normal) weather for the next week...I think my roof
will get started shortly. Good luck with your driveway...it sounds pretty gooey! It sure is nice to at least see some sun...winter weather can be so gloomy.

i love snow... but for like only 2 or 3 days at a time.

anyways congrats on the 1st snow. you know what they say: When life gives u snow, make snow cones.

It's snowing on Boston right now! But its only a dusting, it won't amount to anything.

One of the things I love about New England is the Winter. Am I alone in enjoying a good snow storm?

Deal New Englander

Although I am wishing you warmer days I know you are in for anything but. Please don't send down to Texas. I moved here to escape the snow. After living in Germany and places like Virginia's blue ridge mountains, I have seen enough. I do wish you and your snakes a warm and uneventful winter.

Happy Texan

As a fellow Texan I can wholly agree that we DO NOT need any of that snow nonsense down here. If someone so much as spills a cup with ice in it people lose their minds and forget how to drive. And if we do get snow in the forecast, then I can't find bread at the grocery store for a week.

(For those of you unfamiliar with the big bread phenomenon in the South, if snow if forecasted we all go buy bread, lots of it, cause you never know, we could be "snowed in" for a whole day, maybe two!)

Also Skyrivers, what part of the great state are you posting from? I'm a DFW area transplant myself, but I've been here 21 years and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.

Plz send to Rockies. We need the snow so we may have water to drink later

I'm about 25-30 miles east of Boston...
The snow was nice and fluffy when I went to bed last night, I woke up to a wet, sloppy, heavy mess. I'm all set with that crap.
As I get older, the more I despise the snow. On top of that, my shoulder is a mess (arthritis, torn rotator cuff, and a chunk of bone floating around from one of my dislocations - like a painful pebble in your shoe that never goes away) and I am scheduled for another cortisone injection a week from Monday. Let's just say shoveling = pain. I literally can't even raise my arm to parallel with the ground.
No love for snow at all from me...

Same thing here...people flock to grocery stores to buy bread & milk, & often empty many other shelves too.

But considering that we really CAN get "snowed in" it makes more sense: only here it's more likely the result of an ice storm...which is really "pretty" (icicles all over,
sparkling in the sun) but it topples trees that put the power out for days to weeks...many power lines cannot be worked on until the roads (with fallen trees) are cleared.
Since weather forecasts are often wrong, we have some reason for paranoia...freezing rain is no joke.
