first snow

catter70 · ‎10-11-2017

Here in east central PA., at least more than a flurry. It's not supposed to stick, but just make the roads, etc. wet. Tues. is supposed to be a shoveable snow of 3" to 5", with more north of me. Looks to be a kinda of snowy wet Dec. Not liking the snow at all. All of you that get really hammered by snow are probably thinking what my problem is with these piddly amounts.

I HATE WINTER. What I hate MORE than winter is SNOW & ICE.

Don't get those that think snow is lovely. Perhaps if you don't have to go out in it, however after a day it's a filthy mess that one has to deal with beyond a day.

No matter how beautiful it might be while it's falling, the aftermath leaves a lot to be desired.

Have seen a few rare flurries this am and Friday

Lots of snow here and I think about 12 inches. Still snowed in but kids will do today for me. I usually do but was told to sit still. I wasn't going anywhere anyway.

I baked and watched movies and caught up on some chores around here. I like being snowed in now and then but back to work I go Tuesday.

Though it looks "pre-snow" here in CT today...I think it's due here on Tuesday. I have an early morning dentist appt. Tuesday, but we're along the shoreline and here, at some point it's supposed to just turn to rain. Not sure how cold or if it will be icy. Sometimes all we get is rain. I think today is just cloudy all day. November, I always say..."the gray month", one of my least favorite months. At least it was fairly warm and sunny on Thanksgiving, then went right back to gray, windy, cold. blah.

We're going to a local Christmas parade and lit boat parade later today, should be ok. The last few years was very cold for that, not too bad, so far today.

I just went to finally get out my deck chair covers, and pulling some Chriistmas decor down from outdoor storage unit.

Ah the "joys" of winter, not my favorite season either. 🥶 ❄️

SW suburban Chicago. We got 5-6" and it's coming down again.

My sister is about an hour north and she got at least a foot so far.

I'm not a fan. I like spring & summer. Luckily I work at home.

Me too...spring and summer.

I like the first two weeks of October, 'til the foliage peaks in CT, and that's it. Turns gray, gray, gray after that!

One snowy, winter day, indoors, watching movies, making soup, or baking etc is fine....then I'm over it!!

We're in NW Indiana. We had our first snow a couple of weeks ago but it warmed up and everything melted the next day or two.

Yesterday it snowed from 7:30 AM all day until 1:00 AM this morning. We got close to 10". More snow is on the way, starting in little while and predicted to last two hours with 1-2" of accumulation. That's up from the originally predicted < 1".

A couple of inches here in downtown Chicago. Hoping that it's the one and only snow "storm" we'll have this winter--LOL!!

Agree with previous poster who questioned those who "love" snow. Yeah, it looks pretty for a few hours but the reality is not so pretty--slippery sidewalks, dirty mush, difficulty driving. Don't mind the cold or even wind chills but do HATE snow and ice.

Just a dusting Thursday in SW PA. It's a lot prettier, being retired. I don't miss the 6 am shoveling and clearing the car. Then clearing it again after working all day with a snowstorm! After 35 years of that, I finally have a garage!
