A day late, but ...

We got our first snow night before last, so yesterday I woke up to the backyard looking like this:





It melted off pretty quickly, but it's still cold, hovering just a little above freezing. Spent a lot of yesterday doing cleanup/pickup in the yard and greenhouse. Garden is now tucked in for winter, because it's COMING.

AHHHH I miss snow, even though I am ass at shoveling. XD. (The one and only time I tried to shovel while visiting my husband's folks, he and my father-in-law looked at me, a Houstonian, DYING after five minutes in the freezing cold, and kindly told me to go inside and have some hot chocolate LOL.)

Snow already! Whoa. :)

I'm not jealous that you had snow, but it's beautiful. *^^*

Seeing these photos brings me right back there. *breathes*

When do you guys generally get your first real (at least completely covering the ground) snow?

[sholio]

The first one that sticks and doesn't melt off (thus heralding all-over-snow-on-the-ground until April) is usually a couple of weeks into October. The last week in September is about typical for our first actual snow that melts off. This is a bit early for it, but we've had it heavier and earlier - just not very often, and I don't think it ever sticks around for long at this point.

I'm so not ready for that. A few more months at best and then we will probably see snow too.
My garden is already not producing much since the cooler nights have come.

Wow.

I'm a Michigan girl living in Florida. I miss snow. I cannot imagine snow this early, though. I would pay money right now just to get up in the morning and find it under 70° (about 21° C, for non-USians).
