After the warmest fall I’ve ever experienced in Colorado, we finally get our first flakes of the season. It was in the upper 70’s a few days ago, and we had mid 90’s in October. It is about three weeks later than our average first snow, and one of the latest on record. I’m not sure if the snow needs to be measurable to count as the first snow, and this one certainly isn’t. I’m ready for winter. ---

I love it here. Summers get a little hot for me, but it’s only a month. ---

I like a snow storm. I hate snow. ---

Can you send some down my way? Especially around Christmas? Central Mississippi needs snow! ---

I prefer snow to rain, snow always seems drier. You can walk to a car in rain and get soaked, but the same amount of precipitation in the form of snow, you brush off the flakes and you are dry. My guinea fowl are protesting the snow mightily [or they were yesterday when it was snowing here] they were forted up in the huge forsythia bush by the bedroom discussing their displeasure in no uncertain terms. [This](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoM9BtVZ724), but 16 of them. ---

First snow and Dan Hawkins gets fired - both about a month too late. ---

I’m jealous. It’s damn near 70 today, and for November that’s just plain wrong. 20 degrees above normal. I had to shut off the radiators and open the windows and turn on the ceiling fans. Blech. I want snow! ---

I love snow. I had a snowflake wedding this past January and I love snow. We decorated with hundreds of snowflakes around the reception. The programs had snowflakes punched out of them. The invites had snowflake decoration. The cake was decorated like ice and melting snow. I wore a white, faux fur trimmed riding cloak instead of a veil. I wore snowflake jewelery and had beaded snowflakes in my hair. Snow reminds me of my wedding day… which makes me happy. ---

A week and a half ago we had our first. It didn’t stick down here in the valley but it did, mostly, up on the mountains. And then Monday another system came through but it didn’t drop much of anything down here, but the mountains got some. But it’s going to be running in mid-30s at the most the next few days. It’s 19F right now. At least that means they can really crank up the snow guns. And we might get more natural snow before Thanksgiving; I certainly hope so. I _like_ snow even if I didn’t work at a ski resort and all that. ---

Yesterday was nice, but I’m looking forward to some accumulation on the front range. We are supposed to get a couple of inches tomorrow. I want feet, dammit! ---

Some outlying areas had snow Monday morning, but all we got in the city was rain. Lots of it. Last night we were getting – something. I could see it coming down against a streetlight. I saw individual droplets, which were not coming down straight. They kind of blew around in the breeze. When I stuck my hand out, it didn’t get wet. ---

It snowed like the dickens this weekend in my part of Ohio. We got 3+ inches of wet snow…but it was too much for the lone tree in my back yard and the thing fell over ☹ ☹ Deeply sad about the tree, but I miss the snow already. It’s going to be in the 60s for the rest of the week.
