Well, this actually might be enjoyable halloween.  Normally they are so cold or rainy!  But the leaves have hardly changed, it isn't quite cold yet.  All I can hope for is NO rain.

Do you live in the mountains? Maybe it snows more there or something

No! I don't even live in the mountains! They have tons of snow right now. Well, yesterday our snow melted. So I don't have to worry about that right now....

It "snowed" the first day of December last year. Snow here is little slivers of ice that float down from the sky for five minutes and then melts instantly. But, for some weird reason, it always happens to hail when my dad gets a new car. A long time ago, he and my mom went to Atlanta for something, and his 3 week old car got dented all over by hail. Last year, I heard this THU-THUNK noise on the roof and the next thing I know, my dad is running through the house to get his *brand new* car into the garage. It's really quite funny.....

Last year it snowed so hard we had to live at our grandmas for two months.

WOW! I've heard that a couple years before my family moved here, there was some terrible snow storm and the road that leads into town from our street had to be shut down for a week, and people were walking to work. That would be just so cool.

Coooooooool Maggie. I wish we got snow that early. One time it snowed in February which is pretty amazing for us. In a Laura Ingalls book it snowed in July. You're sooooooooooo soooooo soooooo lucky. :)

Haha, thanks guys. In MN, we missed the part of fall where it gets "gradually" cold. Instead it was boom, one day warm, they next day freezing! then it snowed... it snowed again today! I got my Ugg boots out, and THEY ARE WARM!

Hey, Minnesota and Nevada aren't much different, then. *listens to laugher* Ok, so yes they are, but that's what's happened to us. You want to yell, "Just make up your mind already! Do I get to ski next month or can we reopen our swimming pool? We can't do both, you know!" Argh.

We had some snow flurries the tenth, too, but they didn't stick. Nothing since then, although the weather's about to turn rainy and stormy and otherwise delightful. (Honestly, I love rain. In GCL's book Fairest, the main character sings "Some love the rain. Not I / I love the cloudless sky." Sorry, what's-your-name, but you're missing out on a lot there.)

We have about an inch and a half here, at present. It's been snowing on and off since last week. We're also now once again doomed to thinking "ZOMG IT'S FORTY DEGREES! HEAT WAVE! HEAT WAVE!!!!" from now until April or so. And no, I'm not exaggerating I promise. I think the warmest day since October started was something around 36°.
