>>>>>>>>>>>>We are due for some EARLY FALL snow here (Greensboro, North Carolina) tomorrow - Rain and Snow mixed turning to snow - possible accumulation of 1 inch (who knows for sure??)....

>>>>>>>>>>>>Time to get out the sleds!!
>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>In our descriptive climate year phrase is: "Ten months of winter and two months of bad sledding"
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>CURSES.... No snow this weekend in our neck of the woods! Time to degrease the sleds and hang them back up!
>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>Seriously... it was funny going to CostCo (BigBox store in Greensboro) and see people going out the door with large plastic sleds on Friday.... so funny !!!
>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>Well, Tommy, I went to bed last night expecting to get up to a tempurature of 31 below (celcius) known as minus 31 here, but I was delightfully surprised. When I checked the tempurature, is was only minus 29 :) So, it's going to be a good day. I am looking for a seventeen pound Christmas Haggus and some haggus sauce to go with it, so I'll be smiling as I shop for it today. :))
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>- 10F here this morning. It is supposed to get cold tonight though.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>Yep - But it's just a nipper. Not a snapper.

>>>>>>The Sacramento county received a light dusting for the first time since the mid-70s. We've had a couple other light snows but nothing that's actually stuck. I haven't seen any snow on the ground downtown but I did see some in the surrounding countryside on my way to work. At my home it snowed for about 40 minutes this morning but nothing stuck.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>>Ahhhhhhhh, You must hate that weather.
>>>>
>>>>Knowing that it would only last a couple days, I'd really enjoy it. My father has shown me pictures of a snowman he built in his backyard in his teens when the snow actually stuck once. So far that's a once in his lifetime photo. I'd like one of those for myself.
>>>
>>>I saw somewhere online today that Sacto had a temperature reading of 20 degrees. Not sure if that was during the night (probably) but it's still pretty cold for there.
>>>
>>>And it's all headed our way. The front edge of it is here already.
>>
>>No problem building a snowman here today. It's been snowing since last night. About 8 inches. And its getting COLD!
>
>It is all relative. We havn't been above 0F since Sunday. Single digits above 0 will feel balmy! It has been so cold that snow is like sugar. Great for skiing, lousy for snowmen.

Our snow is powder too. Kids will make snowmen anyway - just takes more effort!!

I had to pull an SUV and a truck out of a snowdrift that was across one of the state roads I had to use to get to work this morning. It's fun to be able to rescue some dork in a nice shiny HUGE Caddilac SUV (whatever the model of the thing) using my 12 yr old Dodge Dakota. I didn't mince words telling him that he either needs to learn how to drive or wait for nice dry sunny days. he turned around and headed home.

Then I proceeded to drive over the snowdrift and continue on to work!
