    They are saying we will get our first measurable snow for the season tonight and tomorrow. Snow showers that will only total about an inch of snow. Also some really cold air along with it for a couple of days. But it won't last as it is back up into the mid to high 40's for next week.

    We've still got torrentail rain and high winds. We get the odd dry day but they're few and far between. :(

    Keep us updated Capt, some snow pics from your neck of the woods would be just the ticket.

    I'll try to get some pics if we get any snow! Usually it's pretty hit or miss here. We usually get one good snow a year here. The last couple of years it's been just before Christmas. :smt114

    I left to go into town to exercise at 6 am and there were just a couple of flakes in the headlights. But when I left to come home, there was about 1/4 inch on the roads. The wind has picked up and is blowing the snow all over the place. But it is kind of pretty out there! :sete_003:

    Did the snow survive until after the gym? Don't forget to take pics.

    We have snow now here in Ontario, and more in the forcast. I've been looking for my digital camera since yesterday...can't find it ANYWHERE! I think my children have something to do with it's disappearance...

    My dad says that after my brother and I were out of the house, his tools never struck out on a journey all on their own.

    Here in Michigan we have about an inch of snow on the ground from last night and it is cold so not likely to melt away today.

    Well the sun came out and what little snow we had is gone. The wind is out of the north and about 20 miles per hour. The thermometer says 27 but it feels like 15 deg F. Really cold. There are a few flakes blowing around but not enough to do anything, so I guess you will have to wait for snow pics.

    ooooooooooooooo so jealous! Like Eileen, we are still in the midst of storms. There was a tornado in London today - several people ended up in hospital and lots of roads were closed due to structural damage to houses. I was working when suddenly the sky turned as dark as night, and wow did we have a big thunder and hail storm. It only lasted about 25 minutes, but it was cold and horrible! Would love snow - oh to have a white Christmas!
