First snow of the season!!!

[Zomby Woof]

The beautiful San Francisco Peaks of northern Arizona, right outside my town, got their first dusting of snow last night and today. As the sun was setting this evening, a pink cloud hovered over the highest peak, Humphrey's, and the snow also reflected the pinkish hue of the sunset. I love this place.

1. heh...

....you should come to MN, we got 6" of snow today, it's lower 20s for temp, and we have single-digit wind chills. X( I hate winter, need to move someplace warm.

And send it to GOPisEvil. He mentioned the temperature in his area was in the '70's earlier.

[Stone Cold]

[Droopy]

5. Go figure, it was 75 in Ohio today

Is that the view out of your back door. Man, what a site. I used to travel out west all the time and that was my favorite part of the country to go to. Just for the scenery.

[Zomby Woof]

6. almost!

Elden Mountain, on the far right, and just hidden by the trees in that photo, is almost literally across the street from us.

Btw, everyone, I am just sharing my excitement, not trying to play "one-up you with the cold/snow" lol. :-)

[Feanorcurufinwe]

8. Hey I wasn't trying to one up you!

I'm excited too!

[Zomby Woof]

18. I know!

I was just noticing a pattern in the replies, and was trying to nip it in the bud. :hi:

7. We got our first snow here a month ago, on the 1st of Oct.

It hasn't snowed since, though, and recently it's been behaving itself, although rather rainy.

I hate snow.

[GOPisEvil]

9. What is this snow people speak of???

:shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

11. it' s um...

White and flaky, like me! :D

[GOPisEvil]

12. This is me not arguing with that statement.

:D

[Zomby Woof]

13. dammit

This thread seems incomplete without Matcom (who has been known to shovel snow once in a while)1

[GOPisEvil]

14. Maybe he's buried under the leaves in his yard.

You know how he hates those leaves.

15. If I'm Ever In Texas

I'll make certain to whop you upside your head with a snowball.

"As Seen On TV!"

[GOPisEvil]

16. Hehehehe!

Gonna be in the 80s all week. What can I say? I hope you transport that snowball in a cooler, or else it'll melt. :D

[Zomby Woof]

17. in the 80's??

Does that mean everyone will be wearing big hair and voting for Reagan? :scared:

[GOPisEvil]

19. Er...it IS Texas...big hair is always in style...and Reagan...ummm...

...they just name schools after him now. x(

[mvd]

24. Ah..

looks nice - today we had a summer-like day - just without the humidity or strong sun. Felt good, but wrong.. didn't even feel like starting my Christmas plans like I usually do now.

Have to go - night!

[greendog]

26. First snow of the season here too!

About 1/2 an inch on the ground in Kalispell, MT.

:)

[Zomby Woof]

28. that's a good start!

Montana is beautiful.

[SOteric]

27. We had a small, brief dusting of snow

up here in your old stomping grounds over the weekend. Didn't last more than 10-15 minutes. Did't stick to the ground.


It's still pretty damned cold, though.

[Zomby Woof]

29. wow!

Pretty unusual for early November.

When I was going to school in Ellensburg, it was 90 on the 1st of October, and it snowed on Halloween. This was in '91, lol.

I remember it snowed on the peninsula for Thanksgiving of '88, where were visiting friends. So, still, for Seattle a dusting in early November is rare!

[SiouxJ]

30. But AZ is a barren wasteland remember?

we're trying to uphold that image so everyone doesn't move here and you go posting a photo like that. What's wrong with you?! Guess you didn't get the memo. Fess up now, that's a photo of Colorado right ;-) .

[Zomby Woof]

31. it's Montana!

:D

Yeah, I moved to Seattle in the late 80's, and see what happened?? Everyone moved there!

Glad your NC trip went well!!! Yellow fungus indeed! ;-) :hi:
