Yesterday we got snow...3 or 4 cm (1-2 in) of snow. and as we say when something happens like this, "It had to happen sooner or later." It's snowing again this evening and we're supposed to get more snow tomorrow.
Now it's not unusual for us to get snow in October. The snow will melt and disappear. Even if we get snow at the end of October , it will likely melt. It's also not unusual to get snow in September.
Now it's a bit of a downer when we get snow like this. We've had some very nice weather to this point.
So I will hunker down for a few days and when the snow has melted I'll be back out in the yard. I still have lots of yard work to do.
So to all my Canadian buddies, have a happy Thanksgiving. To my American buddies, I won't forget you when you celebrate Thanksgiving.
Sigh!
ReplyDeleteOnce saw snow in Illinois on Oct 13 while visiting our daughter. Hopefully some of your cold air will blow down here to Texas! Happy Thanksgiving to you. I'm your newest follower, number 115.
ReplyDeleteThanks for following Hiawatha House. I hope you like it here. I don't send any cold to Texas, but I send a lot of cold to Minnesota.
Deletei remember it snowing in wisconsin in october the night before my sister's wedding. so i'm sure with you being further north...
ReplyDeleteSometimes we don't see snow until december.
DeleteHi Red, Those are some cool (in more than one way) snow pics. :-) Well, I hear you on It had to happen sooner or later. We're having changes in our weather too ... rain and lots of wind and much shorter days makes it seem kind of dark. Oh well, I guess these kind of days make us appreciate the good ones even more. Hope you and your family have a fine Thanksgiving. In honor of you guys I had turkey for dinner tonight. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Thanksgiving wishes.
DeleteIt is cold enough here to snow! I swear I saw a few flakes in the air! I hope your melts! Stay warm:)
ReplyDeleteOur snow will melt.
DeleteVery pretty. We seldom get snow where we live in Oregon.
ReplyDeletePretty and we have to learn to live with it.
DeleteWow - snow already! I love snow and can't wait for our mountains to get a bunch.
ReplyDeleteThe Rockies here have been getting snow but ski hills are not open.
DeleteWow, snow already?! You guys don't waste any time! :)
ReplyDelete...and we don't waste any time to head to Florida either!
DeleteIt is rather early to see a white garden so soon, hope it will melt soon to get your gardenwork done.
ReplyDeleteWe can get snow much earlier than this. This will melt and we could get a few weeks of very nice weather.
DeleteI'd rather later than sooner! I'm in no hurry for snow. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI think you're in an area that doesn't get much snow. Thanks for the greeting and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving too.
DeleteIt looks so pretty, though. I wish you a happy, healthy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
DeleteA snowy holiday, Happy thanksgiving. One year I started a bird for a crowd and the snow cascaded down. most were unable to make it, 11 inches for a first snow.Had lots of leftovers.
ReplyDeleteWe rarely if ever get 11 in of snow. This was one to two in.
DeleteWe see the first flakes sometime this month. It's such a pretty sight, particularly when it stays.
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember. You're a snow lover!
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Red! Snow already? Seems early to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow. Snow! I'm just getting used to the shorter days and the chilly mornings.
ReplyDeleteNo snow here where I am living in Norway
ReplyDeleteBut like you, we have sometimes got a bit of snow in October.
Keep warm and enjoy the season.
