Yes, it is October 5th, and to you who live in normal climates, it would be Autumn. The time of colorful trees and shrubs, jackets, cider, football games, etc. However, for those of us who live in Montana, it is winter. We woke up this morning to snow. What a foul, four letter word (at least in October). I doubt that it will stick to the ground, but it is wet and heavy and will surely wreak havoc on the trees.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really mind snow. I did choose to live in Montana, so I know it is coming, but give me a break - OCTOBER???!!!??? I hope this isn't a portent that winter will be 7 months long!
I am sure that it will warm up again and the snow will go away, but I just had to grouse for today. Slushy snow is Yuck!!
Yeah...we have lots of rain here but there is snow over 5000 ft. The ski resort that we can see from the house, when there aren't low clouds in the sky, got some snow yesterday. I'm sure they're getting more today. Here's hoping for a winter that's not 7 months long for y'all! :)
ReplyDeleteI guess growing up in Wyoming, snow in October seems perfectly normal! But I have gotten out of the habit of early snow, so I wouldn't like it much either. Hopefully it's not as snowy and cold as last year!
