That's more than me currently. It's still quite cold, down to the upper 20s tonight.

Few snow on top of the mountain from Salt Lake Valley :-( the weather is average 60 during day and average 35/40 during nights. No snow yet. I remember I was young, on Halloween Day, the snow was about eight inches, I wore winter clothes, boot, gloves and hat to go out to the trick or treat. It was a good experience.

We FINALLY got our first snow here in Ironwood!


Check these pics out. This is a new record for me as far as the earliest that I have ever skied before. The hill (the Z) was not open but we there is a paved road to the top so we had people drive us to the top and we would ski down. lots of fun.

Nothing here yet in the Northeast, but there is a chance of snow for Friday I believe. I'm beginning to get excited about this season, but I'm not going to hold my breath yet.

Sage/Spunky.. Givin' Er in the UP, eh. SAM's, be careful of the early season snow/rock snakes. One wrong turn, ACL, done for the year. The lake effect is howlin' of the lake tonight here too. Maybe if we get the 10+ we are expecting here, I too will get crazy. The best skiing in the 'hood' right now is probably off the ice rink roof.. oh, , memories... hopefully you guys will get to experience a unexpected 33" overnight lake effect dump like we did. out

Well nothing on the Vancouver local mtns yet, probably only a matter of weeks until some early season XC skiing!

Yikes, snow in Lytton, low of -6 on Tuesday. We are going backpacking with school there. That should be interesting!

Every morning, there's a new coating of white on the mountains, but by the end of the day, it looks like a frosted brownie.

Here's a shot of Mt. Bachelor from today. I'm sure there will be another 7 inches on the ground tomorrow with all the storms we have been getting here in Eugene today.

Well, they changed the forecast so no snow is forecasted, but we still probably will have some freezing at night

It's snowing petty steadily, not enough for anything significant, but everything is getting a nice dusting, my car is covered, likely it'll all melt again tomorrow, and if anything accumulates on the roads i'll be surprised.
