TOPIC: First Snow of the year.

Woke up to our first snow this year. Lawn mower is still out but the snow blower is ready for more.

It's only an inch and will probably be gone by darktime.

Wow. I guess living in Maine this is normal, but I prefer good old Midwest weather. I like a little more Fall before I see some snow.

Yes, it is normal for where I live in Maine to Get some snow by the end of Oct. So we got it on the last day of the month. We ended up getting about 3\", but it's melting quickly.

This is one big reason why I usually get all my seeds planted around the first week of Oct. Fall seems to happen so quick around here. The ground will start freezing here in a couple of weeks.

The deer gun season opened saturday. The snow will make for good hunting.

I don't mind snow at all, but I do hate driving in it. We normally don't get snow here until mid December, and that is a light dusting most times. More often than not, the significant stuff doesn't hit until January. I'm guessing that what Indiana considers significant, folks in Maine would laugh at.

I haven't hunted deer in years, but this is probably a profitable time for you. I need another hobby in the winter, cause digging season ends much too early.

Brrrrr I do not like cold weather,but thats apart of it The snow is prety.

When you live in Snow country, you get used to driving in it, even when its deep. Especially since we have snow on the ground 5 - 5 1/2 months of the year. About 3 hrs north of us they had over 19 feet of snow last winter. And I don't know how they survive that. We usualy get about 9 feet of snow.

Billy - Just put on your \"Long Johns\" and a beanie! and have a nice woodstove fire to warm up by when you come in.

Classicfur, last year we had the most snowfall in the last 20 years. I don't know the exact total, but I would guess we got 3-4 total feet. I like one, maybe two good snows. Just enough to take my four wheeler out and play a little. After that, I'm done. I would go nuts with nine feet of snow to deal with consistantly.
