Ouch...sending warm thoughts your way.

Wow, what a change, but then it's only been a couple weeks down here that we could go out during the
day without dying of heat exhaustion or severe solar radiation burns

Just got down to the 70's and 80's during the day.

Kinda reminds me of that old SNL Roseanne Roseannadanna skit when she says:
"Well, Jane, it just goes to show you, it's always something--if it ain't one thing, it's another."

At least we have tnet for both of our housebound seasons

You still have time to put up one of those huge tents, strap on the snow blower, chisel, torch,....for God's sake man... be prepared!

Sat in Red Bluff, CA=Sunny with a high of 81 and a nightime low of 50.
Come on out Jeff, no need to put up with that crap unless we head to the mountains.

OMG, what shall we do! 4 to 6 inches of snow! Temps in the 30's! Whatever shall we do?! 30's is t-shirt weather for us. We got about a foot of snow Wednesday. Which actually was bad for us, as it was a nasty wet snow you couldn't drive on, not the usual dry snow. Makes a big difference according to the part of the country you're in as to how bad the snow is. Your part of the country would fold under if you got our snow, and ours would too if we got yours, as that's how we make our money. You guys be careful on the roads, and be thankful for the moisture.

You won't hurt my feelings if you keep the storm out there Jeff. Latest forecast for us is up to a foot by Sunday morning. :P

[bigscoop]

I leave Tuesday to go up north deer hunting for ten days. Today it was 75 here and I'm thinking to myself, "What am I thinking! Warm here. Cold and nasty there. Do I really want to go there?"

[fyrffytr1]

We are expecting extremely cold weather here as well! The high tomorrow is only going to be in the upper 60s to low 70s! I am sure glad I had my propane tank filled. Now I can run the fireplace to keep the chill off!!

[Frankn]

Can you picture those guys at the relic hunt ? They will have to dig with snow shovels. I wonder if they will get a snow check or was it event held snow or shine? That's what you call rotton luck. All that hype, anticipation and waiting and it snows on the hunt. Frank

Do I Hear 20 ?

While the leaves are still changing color, the first snow is already headed to the area, with the National Weather Service predicting the county will be hit with 8 to 14 inches of snow today.

"This is very, very unusual," said John LaCorte, a meteorologist with the NWS, State College. "It has all the look and feel of a classic mid-winter Nor'easter. It's going to be very dangerous."

The last major, widespread snowstorm in Pennsylvania this early was in 1972, LaCorte told The Associated Press, though more recent storms have hit smaller areas.

According to the NWS, snow mixed with rain will fall overnight into this morning with an accumulation of less than a half-inch. The precipitation will become all snow after 10 a.m. today and an accumulation of 6 to 10 inches of snow is possible.

During the day, temperatures will stay at a high of 35 degrees.

By tonight, temperatures will drop to a low of 26 degrees, with a new snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.

A NWS report states that heavier amounts are possible over higher elevations and the snow will be heavy and wet, which will likely weigh down trees, leading to downed trees and power outages.

A winter storm warning is in effect from 2 a.m. to 10 p.m. today.

the main problem with us getting snow this early is that the leaves have not falling off the trees yet,
the highway crews have not got the sand and salt for the roads delivered yet and i have a metal detecting outing planed for tomorrow yes i will still be going but the person who i invited may not be able to make it

The earliest snowfall ever recorded in the city was a paltry 0.5 inches in Central Park on Oct. 15, 1876.
the other dates in oct were also well under 1 inch October 10, 1925, and October 10,1979, on these dates there was a trace of snow

[FarmerChick]

for some reason it seems 'early' all this snow flying around.

go south! :}

I love our NC winter weather. Hardly a hiccup in life's plans, other than the maybe 2-3 ice storms that 'might' happen and those aren't that bad either

I feel for ya'll battling foot after foot of snow. Too much work.

[DigginThePast]

Up to 10-16" here and they're warning of downed trees with power outages for "up to days".
