in October!! SNOW! We’re supposed to get around a foot of it through tonight. Even in the North Country that’s a big deal, at least this early in the season. Snow, wind, cold…have I mentioned how much I hate winter? 
SIIIGGGHHHH!!! 
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
in the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
we’re happy tonight,
walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
as we go along,
walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He’ll say: Are you married?
we’ll say: No man,
But you can do the job
when you’re in town.
Later on, we’ll conspire,
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
the plans that we’ve made,
walking in a winter wonderland.

and pretend that he’s a circus clown
We’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,
until the alligators knock him down.
When it snows, ain’t it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
walking in a winter wonderland.
Walking in a winter wonderland,
walking in a winter wonderland.
I seem to recall something.
And Slood, you are so, so, so mean 
No pity from me; we got two feet a couple weeks ago. Loved it, too. 
Stay warm and dry–

And I like snow.
I can box it all up for you and send it out in the morning if you’d like
No thanks. It’d just be water by the time it got here, and we have plenty of that (as you well know).
It’s easy to like snow here in Louisiana. Particularily easy as we don’t really get to see the real stuff around here much.
I did drop to around 2-3 C around here this morning/last night. Makes for a… bracing… motorcycle ride.
NOOOO! It’s way too early!
My husband keeps wondering when a World Series game will be played in the snow, now that it’s played so late in the year! It sure looked like it was close to snow on Monday night.
I’m sure we’ll get some inside of a week. Yuk.
To-NIGHT! 
well, it’s mostly cold, wind-driven thick, steady rain just now..
It’s been slushing (mix of rain and snow falling) here for a few hours. Naturally I was stuck in the line-up at the takeaway window, with my window wide open.

My speaking as a regular WAMC listener, a radio station out of Albany, I’ve kept an eye on the weather all day, also including http://www.wunderground.com .
I’m southeast of you, and so far it’s been light to moderate rain, but I see that your area is getting dumped on, yes, snow, and seasonally early.
At least perhaps the ski industry could be happy.
Wake me when spring comes.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
You get no sympathy from me- I drive around in the weather with the window open all day:D , and yes, today it was snowing here too! The snow on the green/red/orange leaves of the trees really looked strange. One tree looked like a giant cotton plant ready for pickin’.
Uh…its 90F here in LA, the air conditioner is on.
snow before Halloween, huh Izzy…
have another cookie…could be a long 'un
I think we got a bit over a foot overnight, but it’s not over yet. My poor lilac bushes are laying on the ground. All of their leaves hadn’t fallen off yet, so the snow was able to totally weigh them down.
Yes, more cookies. And hot cocoa today! There’s something to celebrate! 
Yup, still snowing here, too, but I am west of the major dump zone, so here all we are getting is lake effect. Supposed to last most of the day. It’s melting, so it’s hard to say how much has actually fallen, but there’s a good four inches or so still on the ground.
Same here for leaves still on the trees, too. Something must have broken as the power went off at 01:56. I woke up an hour late with no alarm. 
I don’t know if this is a record for early snow, but it’s still rare enough to be disconcerting when it happens. I wouldn’t normally expect to see this stuff for another 1.5 - 2 months yet.

We lost ours last night at about 10:30, and it came back on this morning about about 5:30. I’m not sure how widespread it was, or what caused it. But I do know that Mr Izz still has school this morning, and all of the public schools are only on delay. Yes, I’m surprised over that one.

I grew up here, for the most part, and I don’t remember ever getting this much snow in October. i wouldn’t be surprised if we did hit a record with the amount at the very least. My non-scientific measuring came out at about 14 inches
