Not already...can't be
I'm sitting here looking at the window watching some sort of white matter land in my yard.
Snow in mid-October? If so, I am screwed with a capital "S".
We have tons of jobs still in the pipe to do...

We have already been looking at the white stuff for over 2 weeks. What's unusual about snow in the second half of September? By the way, around this time, it isn't unusual to have a nice clear day well into the 90's, and have snow the very next day.

No snow here, but on Tues. we had over 10" of rain, where I'm at. That and heavy winds knocked my power out for almost 2 days.
The paper here said it was the 7th biggest storm in 50 years and the biggest in October.

First nasty, cold and rainy day here in NYC.
The percise reason I don't complain when it is 90 plus degrees.
No more golf until Vacation.

When I was in Denaili park in August last year, it was snowing, and there were two kids that were from Florida, and had never seen snow. The bus driver stopped and let them off so they could see snow up close for the first time. The brother and sister get off the bus, and the first thing the brother does is make a snow ball and throw it at his sister. One of the women on the bus comments "isn't that just like a boy", to which another woman comments "What did he do? Whip it out and write his name?".

Last time I was in NJ was August 2008 when my mom passed away. Went outside to call the misses [was living in Texas then] and it was 62 degrees outside. I damn near froze! Not used to the cold anymore. We have been breaking heat records here all week. Temps averaging in the mid to high 90's.

101.5 said you were getting some snow up there. I thought I was hearing things. We just had rain off and on in the 50s today. My knees and shoulders felt it coming yesterday.
