We've not had snow yet, although it has been sufficiently cold. This is good, because October or early November snow means a very dry winter will follow. Why, no one knows, but the pattern has held since the 1940s.
I guess we had some flurries down south of you in Walhalla and Seneca. I didn't see any myself. Looked out my windows and all I saw was sunshine, albeit very cold sunshine.
Pfft. None of y'all have been cold until you've been 60degF below zero cold, like I was at Ft Yukon for two weeks one dark winter. Or at least it was that on the other side of the walls of our building. I didn't actually go out in that stuff except once, long enough to be able claim the experience.
Still, I've adapted to Plano in north Texas, and I'm miserable in the current night's just-above-freezing temperatures. I'm glad I'm from upstate Illinois, where they have real winters. A friend sent me a photo of her back patio that shows about 2" snow on the ground a couple nights ago.
If you want the full experience, we recruit people with some computing experience to winter-over at the South Pole. Best not to be afraid of the dark, though.

Here in Louisville, too. Actually saw some brief accumulations. Forecast says 70 on Saturday, though.

ReplyDeleteWe were out this afternoon/evening running errands, and we saw flurries in Hickory. I thought of the firewood that you chopped earlier this year.

Colder than my sons on the Arctic Circle, at least for today
ReplyDeleteAnd by January we'll call this kind of weather mild, as usual. But for now, it's painful.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, across the street a team just arrived and started tearing off the snow-touched roof of the house there. It's 29
ReplyDeleteFedEx didn't run its trucks last night because of this weather; my wife has the day off. Snow day! For her, not me; I still have to work.

Yeah, a lot of places are nice places to be from.
