Here are a few shots from around my house this after noon.. There is something about the first true snow fall of the season... And here are a few of our dog Lexi enjoying the first snow...
Bloody hell Ted, all I've seen this year yet is a light flutter that only lasted about 15 minutes and was only on the ground for less.
Heh. I don't miss it! I wore shorts to work today. Right at about 76 degrees, sunny, breezy...awesome weather.
Doesn't look good for you guys at the moment... All the talk is about a storm front going to hit the midwest on Thursday or so.
The view to the next yard from my deck, and the sad sight of a snowed-on Mini! Big whopping sticky flakes, but it was too warm for it to stay. It's all gone now.
Glad I took the week off! Even in a mild snow like this, the first snow-commute of the year is usually insane. People lose their minds.
Ah, early snow. Reminds me of my misspent youth in the hills of North Jersey. Not likely to see snow down here for a few more weeks.
that looks about typical for the BIGGEST snow of the year - on years we get one at all - around here.
Don't bullshit me Chuck...I used to live in Arizona. I've got a picture of myself in snow up to my waist on Memorial Day, near Humphries Peak outside of Flagstsaff. The next day I was back in Phoenix, sweating my ass off building houses. And don't get me started on Eastern Arizona near Alpine. 40 degrees at night in July and August is too cold for my old ass.
I live about 80 miles from Alpine We'll be getting some precipitation this weekend. Alpine will be getting the snow and the rest of us will just get rain. We actually had an early snow several years ago. It snowed about 20 minutes before our homecoming parade. They cancelled the parade and about 1/2 hour later the sun came out and it all melted. We usually get our first snow sometime in mid-late December.
Really? What elevation do you live at? Let me guess......4000 feet. Am I close? I know I would never live above 6,000. Too cold at night for me.
Wasn't too far off. 5600.....that's about the elevation of the Mogollon Rim above Payson if I remember right. 5600 feet is Ponderosa Pine and Aspen country. I used to hunt those huge Abert Squirrels and fry them in bacon fat. Trout fishing is good too, but I can't catch trout for jack compared to bass at the lower elevations (Lake Pleasant and Bartlett Lake).
Wow, I think we're somewhere around 360 feet here . Dad always had an altimeter in his car, and I think that's what it read outside out old house (only 3 miles away)
If you had big mountains in New Jersey they would be glaciers. That's what's so cool about mountains. Every 1,000 feet in height is like going 400 miles north (assuming no elevation change). That's why they have snow in Africa and South America in the higest mountains at the equator. You get away from Mother Earth's insulation and it gets cold fast.
Pretty close, except it's Abert not Albert. Dumb name I think. Anyway, here is what they look like. They have long tufts on their ears and huge tails.
