Ehhh... we've already had a couple of quick squalls here. Nothing major, just enough to get the season off to a great start. God, I love when the snow flies. Like money falling from the sky. Laughing

At least y'all get mainly snow up there. Down here in west TN, we usually only get freezing rain and ice. I can drive easily on snow, ice is a PITA.

There were scattered flurries last night while I was working the line at the haunted house. Tonight there is a freeze warning. If it gets any colder I'll be wearing my bunker gear under my costume (wouldn't be the first time).
