new snow

We woke up to two inches of new snow. Temps were in the low thirties throughout the day, so even though it was snowing there was not much accumulation. Since the sun went down the temp has dropped again so I shut off my outside water and drained the sprinklers.

Guess that's going to be the end of most of the flowers.

I saw a lot of cars that looked like they had six or eight inches of snow on them, so we got off light in my area.

We had frost last week which pretty much ended the flowers/garden. It hasn't quit raining yet since then either. It's definitely fall.

Sheesh...I'm waiting for the first frost here, I know it will be soon. Wouldn't be surprised if we got snow by the middle of the month. We're already having lows in the 40's and highs in only the mid 60's (at best) most days, last year this time of year it was still mid 70's during the day and mid 50's overnight.

Probably gonna be a long, cold winter. Bah.

It's in the thirties today, but most of the snow is gone. Bright sunshine!

Still snowing up here- only about 2" accumulation, not a whole lot. Nothing sticking on the roads. It's supposed to be back up into the 50s tomorrow and Wednesday, so I'll have time to get my back field turned under and get the plow on my tractor.

I saw quite a bit of snow coming over Donner pass last night. Looked like they got a good 6" or so. Is it me or is it too early for this?

It's Fleet Week weather.............about 70º.

It's suppose to drop down to a bone chilling 64º Thursday, then back up to around 68º to 70º.

No sigh of snow yet.
