Not us! We probably WILL get liquid snow though!

Also in Pa - forecast calls for 2-6" - bet we only get a couple of inches...the ground is too warm for to accumulate.

What?! I'm in northern Michigan and no one has said the "S" word here! Thank the Lord!

Our forecast is up to 6-12", and possibly rising. Not my favorite kind of forecast! My family postponed our plans to get together tomorrow for my son's birthday.

It's supposed to be a heavy, wet snow--the worst kind to drive in, and the most likely to cause power outages. Plus a lot of our trees still have leaves. Fingers crossed.......

6 to 12 here and I worry about outages since most trees have leaves. Another weather record broken. So far in PA we had a wet spring, a 6 week drought with all 90 and 100 degree days, record rains in Sept., a hurricane, tornado, tropical storm, earthquake, and now the earliest measurable snow ever. Who says there isn't climate change? I'm living it. We are 30 inches above for the year.

I am near Buffalo - no snow here! Yes we WILL get snow but not this one!

No snow here YET! just don't send it east. May have some flurries. We are so lucky this year---a full blizzard last year. All of you stay safe and drive careful if you HAVETO Drive.

We're only to get a few inches here in the western part of the state, let's hope that holds true! You all stay safe over there!

No snow forecast in my part of MN. I like snow but glad we're not getting it this early. I remember the big one on Halloween 1991 though.

Eastern upstate NY - 3-5 inches predicted tomorrow night (Saturday). Too much too soon. Had a good covering last night but its gone now. Could be a very loooong winter :-(

Wow, way to early to be hearing this! YUK

They are calling for 4-8" here in northwestern Virginia. It's too early. Consider this my formal complaint!!!

Oops! They mentioned the "S" word on the weather tonight, but just flurries.

I just looked at the forecast for my cousin in CT: 15 inches! Oy. My forecast will be updated soon, and I have the feeling the total will be around the same as hers.

Our little bit of rain changed to snow in the last 30 minutes or so. I can see it on the back porch rails. Forecast says 1ý inches, but by Sunday it will be warmer with sunshine.

I feel for you up there, Wanda.

Sue

I'm with Kathy G. Thank the Lord!

Joyce from the tip top of the U.P.

My daughter might be gonna get it in MD though.

Wow, Susan...I don't know where your cousin lives but I'm in the Litchfield hills and the latest NOAA forecast for me is....

Saturday: A chance of snow before 1pm, then rain and snow likely between 1pm and 2pm, then snow after 2pm. High near 36. Northeast wind between 7 and 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

Fortunately...I did all my winterizing a few weeks ago and I'm very glad I did. I surely didn't expect a snow storm in October...but being an ole seasoned Yankee...not much surprises me when it comes to weather. ;-) A good book...a hot cup of coffee...a purring cat in my lap and I'm all set. I just hope we don't lose power.

It is too early for the "S" word here. I am glad I am going to California on Tuesday.

Please tell me where each of you lives please.
I live in Alexandria,VA. We are supposed to get a little -about 1 inch.

Had our snow yesterday, thursday, in southern colorado.
My zinnias are definately frozen, gone...
Got several inches, not as much as some of the high country,
but they need it for ski season..

The "S" word! Oh NO! I'm still winterizing my jeep. I put a new battery in it today. The old one was 4 yrs old and getting weak. I'll need a good battery on mornings when there's a foot of snow on the road and it 10 below. I had hoped to get it washed and waxed, but I don't think that is going to happen at this late date. My next chore is to take off the grill and tear into the front wiring harness. I've lost a curcuit to my left running lamp - Signal lights still work. I hate what road salt does to electrical circuits, but around here, the street authorites claim they have no other alternative. If only I had a heated garage to do repair work, sigh.

Winter wouldn't be so bad if it were not for the cold weather.

I put my outdoor Christmas lights up yesterday as I always do before the cold weather. Never dreamed of this. Didn't talk to anyone about the weather.

Walked the dog tonight and wore fleece and gloves in the 43 degree rain. But I will be OK. Don't wish this on anyone except those who may have not recovered from a drought.

I had the AC on in the car two days ago, and today walked my dogs in fleece..They were fashion plates. The Dachshund in red and black plaid(he's a black and tan), and my other dog (Boston mix) in blue and green plaid. They were cozy. It was raw and damp. There goes the weekend plans. I thought of all the outdoor weddings people were planning tomorrow.

What is this white stuff you all speak of? I don't miss it a bit, and you are all invited for margaritas by the pool tomorrow.

I just let the dogs out (5 am) and no snow. I call it weatherman hype - they sell bad weather with the commercials. Higher elevations might have snow, but they always get snow earlier than we do. Heading to work in the RAIN. Good morning PA! Another rainy Saturday.

Just fed the patio cats and we have an inch or so, the pine trees are weighed down. They've updated our snow warning to 4-8".

Here in northern Deaware we are to get a "few" inches. In mid October 1979 we had 2 inches, which had not been called for, I remember scooping snow off my outdoor potted plants which survived nicely. Still have plants on the front porch, will move them close to the wall and hope for the best, they are still out because they have been growing so nicely.

Snowing like mad right now and even with a small amount so far, the trees are bending. There will be power outages for sure. Last May when the power went, I was with out for 28 hours and it killed most of my koi.

First tree has hit the dust. Power flickering on and off.

I love snow! None in sight that I know of. It is 56 out and sunny here in central Indiana.

Sue

It's raining in Long Island. I was just out shopping and drove thru rain, sleet and hail, but no snow. I checked the thermometer when I got home and it's 43 degrees.

You wouldn't like this snow. So far we have lost two trees and massive branches everywhere. Thousands and thousands are w/o power and I expect ours to go any minute . It's a nightmare.

My dd in the Bronx, NY said they had quite a lot. She got over the thrill, (being from CA,) last year and hasn't even gone out to play in it yet.

Here in upstate NY, eastern, just getting the beginning of snow. 4 to 8 inches predicted overnight. OMG, is this just the beginning????

We ended up with several inches of snow, probably 6 or so. Very destructive, many trees lost the battle with it. Luckily it is warm, 35+ so the snow is melting quickly, now we have a sloppy mess.

No snow here but we did have frost this morning.

We ended up with 9 inches and it was heavy and wet..1 and 1/2 inches of water. Our yard looks like disaster area and the limb is still on our power line. SIL is coming over to help husband figure a way to remove it. That old tree is ruined. Our last snow on this day was in 1925 and it was one inch...

Lily--please don't let anyone remove that limb from the power line!! Call the electric company because that's what they're there for.

I was in Ft Lauderdale all week for work...85 degrees...came home to PA Friday and 10" of snow on Saturday. Lots of trees and limbs broken. The leaves were still on a lot of trees and weighted them down terribly. I spent about 2 hours yesterday shaking the snow off my wild mountain laurel...I really did not want to lose any.
The power has been out for 27 hours now. No word on when it may be restored. (gotta get a shower soon!)
I had to come in to work to catch up on some thing since I couldn't log in from home.
The good news is I have a coal stove and a large generator, so the house is warm and the fridge/freezer is cold. For that I am thankful.
Tonight I am frying some sausage on top of the stove for dinner.
It could always be worse...

salgal..where are you in PA? We got 9/10" here in the south central and spent the day cleaning and it will takes weeks to get it all done. The only good news is we didn't lose power like many did. We had a big magnolia limb laying on our power line and the power company won't come on your property and all the tree guys are busy. So my SIL came and husband and he very methodically trimmed and trimmed and finally did the last cut and it fell away from the line. It didn't hit anything on the ground. The Magnolia tree could win an ugly tree contest now. It's at least 50 or 60 years old. We had more devastation than we have ever had in 28 years in this house.

Well I take back my weather hype post. We had a nasty time. Power kept blinking off and I was glad it stayed on at all. Snow is still hanging on, but not for long.
Jetty dog had a ball in his first snow.
Lily where are you? I am in Waynesboro - west of s central pa.

Kathy..Small world. I grew up in Waynesboro. I lived there for 18 years, graduated HS there and after college left . My parents lived in Eastland Hills for over 50 years.

Plenty of frost here in the U.P. but no snow other then just a few little pellets that came down with the rain on Saturday for maybe 5 minutes...
