First light snow last night. Nothing on the pavement, but a wee bit on top of cars and grass this am.

Nice spring day here. Fine and clear skies since the weekend so a bit cool overnight 45F with a high of 65F. A bit windy out in the open (east end of Lake Rotoiti).
... No snow yet but I hope we get plenty as we need the moisture.
Wow Walrus, getting cold quick up north. Have you guys had an extremely wet year like we have down here? We will likely set an annual record for rainfall on Thursday with over a month to go in the year
We have the white death just starting today. Likely won't amount to much but I bet traffic will be bad
Every time I read stories and see pics like yours, I'm glad I decided to look for retirement properties in the warmer southern states. Just can't take the cold like used to. It's 33º outside and I've the woodstove going early today -- even the dog didn't want a long walk today.
We have been around freezing at night the last few days and into the 40's and low 50's during the day.I think I heard it rained or snowed 190 days last year locally. No wonder my car wash customers are crying the blues
That's ok rural. It will reverse in 6 months and we will see who is laughing.
Thanks for posting that chart as it is very interesting. I thought you got colder temps than that but must just be the higher elevations. I guess I will have to check to see the difference in latitudes we are on.
It was 60 here yesterday, today 6 inches of snow
Another 2 to 4 tonight.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Cold front came through about noon and just rain here but snow in the mountains. Snow level got down to 7,000' but we are at 5,000' so we're good. I can see the snow on the ski runs across the valley up by Lake Tahoe. It was in the 80's the last 3 days but 50's today and we may get below freezing tonight. Fall doesn't start for a few days yet.
Wish all of you in snow country all the best -- it's tough in the best of times, but the Farmer's Almanac is calling for a really bad winter this season. I'm already scouring Craigs List for firewood for the woodstove this winter. I usually go through 1-1/2 cords
As much as I dislike snow, I make a lot of money if we have a lot of snow selling tools and pressure washers to guys plowing, not to mention more soap to my regular customers.

The guy that does my yearly lawn weeding, tree trimming, and seeding confided in me that his winter snowplowing brings his small business into profitability for the year. Without that revenue, he couldn't survive strictly on mowing and yard work during the spring, summer and fall.
