I turned my heating on yesterday, for the first time since spring. Humph. That’s all 🙂 ---

Woke up to snow here. Sigh. With all the leaves I haven’t raked yet lying on the grass underneath the snow. ---

Can’t say I envy you, but I probably wouldn’t mind something in between. It’s 84 here right now. Would be a lot warmer but it’s cloudy today. ---

I got snnowed on two weeks ago … I _was_ in Russia, which is a pretty good excuse. ---

We hit 89 today in Dallas. So no snow here yet, in fact our air conditioning kicked on. We still have 3 months before we get any hint of the frozen stuff. Stay warm! Enjoy the fireplace if you have them. I will check in when we get our first frost 🙂 ---

It’s not snowing in this part of MN yet, but it’s getting close. Frost is appearing on windshields and the breeze has a sharp bite. Won’t be long now. ---

Well, it hasn’t snowed here yet. But I did wake up to 41 degrees with a wind chill of 32 this morning. Can I go back to Tennessee now? (Although my brother said it was 41 in Chattanooga this morning.) ---

I know it is! Bah… snow… cold _shivers_ Thank goodness I finished my scarf a couple days ago, and raked up all those pesky leaves. ---

> [@Muffin](#): > > It’s snowing. Yay! 🙂 I’m with Muffin, snow is good, snow if right, snow is about time! Still no snow here but it was brisking hiking weather today, in the 40’s with a bit of rime ice showing near the summits. ---

I drove in a thick fog at night, with visibility just 2 meters. I drove over a lane divider. That is all. ---

Hah. Wimps. We had our first flurries last Wednesday. It’s been dipping into the low 40’s at night for nearly a month. Granted, it’s also been routinely going up to the high 70’s every day. One of the joys of living at 7500 feet. I’m not complaining. The sunset I saw today (and yesterday, and the day before, and the day before, etc) alone makes up for it. ---

We’re getting some snow on the hills near town right now, and it wouldn’t be a bit surprising to get a bit of snow in town tonight. I spent the afternoon rearranging the garage so I can start parking indoors at night, and got a kickass deal on a nice warm coat at the store (more than half off!). I’m so excited. Ask me again in four months. I may not be quite so excited. 🙂 ---

My thermometer says 36 F right now, and I’m in OH too **Lsura**. They tell me it doesn’t really snow here though. Just real windy and cold. So I went out and bought two tooks, a sweater, and a down vest today. Hooray for Cabela’s! 😃 ---

No snow here, just cold mucky rain and clouds and shivery wind. I want snow. ☹ ---

Oh geez, you guys can _have_ it! I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but I lived through 38 winters. I know what 30 below feels like. I now live in a place where winter is only cool, with the likelihood of a snowflake falling very slim. I have to say, in all honesty, I prefer it here. I miss the colors of the changing leaves in the fall, but I don’t miss snow or being freezing cold a bit. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-snowing/269718.md?page=2)
