Is it snowing where you are yet? I decided I might go to wherever the first snowfall is in the country this year. Weird thing to do I know, but I just thought it'd be fun...
Snow?

Oct 10, 2007 9:30 PM GMTIt has been snowing at higher elevations off and on for weeks now. Yesterday, the clouds stayed high and I could see that both Mt.Hood and Mt. Adams are completely white now - no rocks showing through at all. -

Oct 10, 2007 10:37 PM GMTWe have had two days of record-breaking heat this week. I love snow, but I also love autumn, and we better not get any frigging snow here for at least a month. Or two. -

Oct 10, 2007 11:43 PM GMTOur local news is reporting that one of the resorts is opening this week(end)--I think it might have been Arapahoe Basin--some real snow, a lot of manufactured.
Yeah Colorado! -

I've got friends who relocated to Phoenix a few years ago. We went and visited them last year around this time. We took a few days and went up to Sedona, that was just gorgeous.

Oct 11, 2007 12:09 AM GMTTimberoo - here is a pic of Sedona w/ snow...
it's much more common to get snow in Sedona. It is a beautiful area. Had you been to Flagstaff? That's where Snowbowl is -
Oct 11, 2007 12:09 AM GMTSnow is fine by me on the trees...on the grass....on postcards....but NOT on the streets! -

We took a tour up to the Grand Canyon from Sedona and drove through Flagstaff, but we didn't get to spend much time there.
We did one of the Pink Jeep tours in Sedona, and on the way back to Phoenix we went over to Jerome. That was pretty cool. On the way up to Sedona, we swung over to Montezuma's Castle. -
Oct 11, 2007 1:15 AM GMTMt. Lassen has a good coating, and is looming ominously to remind us winter is fast approaching, however the cam's on Mt Shasta show the lodge is still completely dry. :-( -
Oct 11, 2007 1:35 AM GMTThe webcams show things looking a little slushy at Timberline lodge
http://www.timberlinelodge.com/ski_ride/conditions.php#
but the Palmer Glacier lifts are open all year round. In fact, they were advertising snowboard races in July.

BTW: I recently tested the water at their warming huts, and it's OK to drink for the season! -
Oct 11, 2007 1:43 AM GMTWe have had some weak storms come through Calif. in the last few weeks--we went hiking in the Eastern Sierra last weekend, check the snow coverage here:

Can't wait for winter to settle in! -
Oct 11, 2007 4:57 AM GMTWe haven't had snow in Edmonton yet. In fact, the forecast looks quite nice for the next week or two. Usually the weather tanks around Halloween. Last year we had the snowiest November on record and it stayed on the ground well into April. Six months of snow is enough to make you sick of it. -
Oct 11, 2007 5:00 AM GMTIt's been snowing mildly in the higher elevations around here, but not in the valley as of yet. Of course, the valley rarely gets snow, but even the mountains around Boise haven't quite gotten snow yet. -
Oct 11, 2007 5:23 AM GMTI would love just a half-inch of snow in Florida... if only for a day or two. EVERYTHING would shut down. I could use the days off work to relax. -
Oct 11, 2007 7:00 AM GMTI guess there has been snow at the higher elevations in Flagstaff. I dunno, I can't see any. But there has been talk of and early snow this year. I can't wait, I love snow so much!! -
Oct 11, 2007 12:44 PM GMTIt's BEEN snowing here... well... kinda... we've been rehearsing the Snow scene in the Nutcracker
Seriously though... i'm praying there isn't much snow... and it's not that cold this winter. i HATE winter. -
Oct 11, 2007 1:21 PM GMTNo snow here in Chicago since we just had 90-degree weather on Sunday and Monday, but it's definitely cooler now.
Does anyone remember when the first major snowfall of the year was on or around Thanksgiving and that you could bank on it?
