It's to early for this white sh** falling from the sky........

[bbhaag]

It started snowing today. WTF is this shit??? It's only mid October here in Central Illinois this is isn't suppose to be happening yet!
Is this what it feels like to be Canadian?

Meanwhile, I was in Portland, OR on Saturday and it was fucking 87º on October 15th. That ain't right.

As long as the Christmas decorations are sold in stores, snow is allowed.

<--- swapped on winter tires last Friday

Lucky. Wish I had snow...

Yep. Plenty of room in the bottom hellscape half of the country for anyone who doesn’t like the cold and snow.

I’m definitely enjoying the 40-50s we get around this time of year though. Perfect for hiking.

Fuck that nasty stuff. I expect to see it on the ground here once during the winter most years...but, thankfully, it's usually gone the next day.

Lol outside the arctic, the prairie provinces and northern Ontario and Quebec, many US areas get more snow. Like last year here in Toronto, we only had one huge snowstorm for the season.

I will say that it wasn't too surprising to see snow in October when I lived in the Midwest.

Haha somehow I just KNEW you would chime in and tell me how much you like the snow, cold weather, a warm fire, and a glass of something brown colored.

Spent much of my (later) childhood in Spokane. It was always a toss-up whether we'd have snow by Halloween. Living in Wyoming, it was almost a certainty. (You might see some snow almost any month of the year)

It was finally cool and dry enough to open up the french doors to the porch for the day, very pleasant.

I think it's coming here soon as well. Suppose to get snow in Kapuskasing tonight, what they get in that area usually comes here. We already did get a bit of snow here but it melted right away.

I should look at putting my Christmas lights up soon. Easier to do when there's no snow on the ground.

 

[IronWing]

I thought you already had them up? Slacking. You could cut a path through your new land and light up a Christmas Forest.

Walmart was selling that sh--tuff a month ago tbh

Me too, even though our brutal 3 inch blizzard caused rolling blackouts for most of Texas for five days straight last time.

Get you a Californian girlfriend (or boyfriend?) and stay there until summer.

That's what I do.

 

[waffleironhead]

I feel for you, we had snow on the ground on friday. Just way too really for this mess. Its now below freezing and I finally had to turn the boiler on.
Yuck.

"aside from more than half the country ..."

it means end times...

If Toronto gets more than 15cm of snow they call the army. These days they'd probably even use the emergency act lol.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

Our Indian Summer in Nor-Cal was a bust this year - We usually get quite a quite a few days of 90+ degree weather instead its been mid 70's with lots of cool overcast coastal clouds.

Unreal that its snowing this early in the year for Illinois!

As per usual you and truth don't mix.

Snow will fall in Colorado the day I return form overseas. It is a documented fact, it does not matter what the actual day is. Granted, I have not returned in July so there is that.

Ah take it easy on squirrel, it’s the running gag by the rest of Canada to Toronto.

As for comment about the rest of Canada, yeah where less than 10% of the population lives.

I had 2" on the ground on the 14th. Location is north of Stillwater, MN.
