<p>It was only a brief shower, but we just had our first snow of the season–at least, the first I’ve seen. I’ll probably be cursing it in a few months, but the first snow is always exciting.</p>
<p>I’m jealous! I love snow… especially the first. :)</p>
<p>Bethie, congratulations! Here in the Pacific Northwest first snow of the season is usually met with shock and awe. And after we abandon our cars in the ditches and make it home on foot, we enjoy it, too. :)</p>
<p>XD it’ll be a miracle the day we see snow in LA. Real snow that sticks around.</p>
<p>I’m so sick of this “Summer all the time” nonsense. I’m going north for college…FRISCO HERE I COME.</p>
<p>Haha, you know you won’t see any snow there either, right?</p>
<p>I know. But at least they get fall and winter. What a concept!</p>
<p>DD is a sophomore college student in CA. She hasn’t seen snow since her senior year of high school. She was MIGHTY disappointed last December break when it didn’t snow here…not at all. And we had no snow on the ground when she got here either. I’m not too eager to see snow…but I hope SHE gets to see some here sometime between December 9 and January 7.</p>
<p>HGFM: Better learn to call it “The City” and NEVER Frisco or they will put you on the first Amtrack back to Lakewood!</p>
<p>D is a sophomore at Tufts in Boston and was really disappointed at what a meager amount of snow and “real winter” they had last year. I hope there is tons of snow this year so D will like it less and come back to California in 2 1/2 years!</p>
<p>San Francisco temps are more “moderate” than some parts of LA. It’s like 75 degrees year around in some parts. You can tell its winter because sometimes it rains. You can tell it’s fall because it’s sunny. Of course Tahoe is only 3 or 4 hours (6 on a Friday) away. OK, this thread is about snow…</p>
<p>Yeah, I love SF, but I think it has basically one season–somewhat chilly or somewhat less chilly–I guess that is 2 seasons.</p>
<p>bethievt,
“Oh the weather outside is frightful…” In the NYC northern 'burbs there is a “frost advisory” for this evening. Bring those delicate plants indoors!</p>
<p>XD blucroo. I’ll have to work on that.</p>
<p>My dad told me he’s never coming to visit me because he hates the Giants. XD</p>
<p>What is this XD?</p>
<p>It’s a smiley that is supposed to look like you’re laughing with your eyes closed.</p>
<p>I can’t tell you how many years my kids trick or treated in the snow! This year, my impatiens are still blooming! Unheard of! LOL</p>
<p>Snow already?! It doesn’t snow here in Portland OR very often, but I need to learn to drive in the snow. I’ve been avoiding it for years, but now that I am working (and go to work very early in the morning), I think I’m going to need to learn. And get studded snow tires.</p>
<p>Growing up in MN, we always trick or treated in the snow. Our costumes had to fit over snow suits. This warmness is strange.</p>
<p>Out in the rural areas around here, there was a killing frost in September. My CSA lost all tomatos, peppers, basil, etc. But in the city, the flowers are still blooming, the basil still putting out new leaves. And I’m doing exterior painting, so it better stay warm till I finish the final touch ups! But is odd, as after it freezes, summer bulbs need to come in. But see no need to dig up a dalhia in full flower, even though it could theoretically snow anytime.</p>
<p>bethie: Congratulations.</p>
<p>Spent weeked in Williamstown whre it rained the entire time. The parents from SoCal were ecstatic. The rest of us looked at them as if to say, “We’re a little worried about you.”</p>
<p>We have had very few colored leaves in LI. Everything is still green. I feel like I live in Savannah. It is scary.</p>
