I can't believe it is snowing.
I have lived in MA all of my life and I don't think I can ever remember a substantial snow storm in October.

Some snowflakes, maybe.

This is just plain freaking me out!

Maybe I just don't remember it!

1. Take the Air Conditioner Out of the Window
You won't be needing it in November.

3. HA! We just took them out two weeks ago! The trees still have their leaves.
I have quite a few trees in my yard that haven't even changed color.

2. It hasn't started here yet in NE NY, but we're supposed to get several inches.
And I don't remember it ever starting this early, either. It was just summer, haven't even had fall here yet. I'm still sick of getting snowed in numerous times last year. x(

15. I sure don't blame you. A normal winter is bad enough in these parts.
And I'm told that the snowblower is being delivered on Tuesday. My only hope is that it all melts. :(

Last year was like living in the Tundra here, too. Just remembered that I broke my snow brush. Guess I'd better find another one, ASAP. *sigh* x( :pals:

7. It's like February in October here...
The snow started in earnest about 2 PM where I am.

It's almost 6 PM and there are at least 8 inches out there so far.


Yeah...this is very very weird!
