14 and sunny this aft. 🙂 (Rainy this morning though.) ---

All our passes are still passable, but the highest one around here is about 5500’. ---

I’m in Maine and it hasn’t snowed yet. We’ve had some frost, but no snow (knock on wood). ---

There is some up above Lake Tahoe, still hanging around. ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I wasn’t sure how a Calgarian would answer this question without a massive amount of swearing. 🙂 A few weeks of sunny and 25 really shortens memories around here. Also, my very local neighbourhood wasn’t hard hit. Lost power for a few hours rather than a few days. No branches down on my street, although the blocks around us were hard hit. The worst of it for me was the bike ride in to work on the two days. ---

Depends on how you define “we”. This past weekend, I and some of my kin drove to a wedding a couple hours away, and on the road, we got a bit of snow hitting the windshield. But that was away from the moderating influence of the lake, and we haven’t gotten any here yet, nor do we look likely to in the forecastable future. ---

Not yet, thank god. It’s always super depressing if it snows before Halloween. ---

not north enough to have snow, but I’m waiting for it. I have a 4x4 Ranger and a set of snow tires. I wanna go out and play! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/northern-dopers-have-you-had-your-first-snow-yet/700521.md?page=1)
