We woke up one morning to a white lawn, but the roads and driveway were clear. We usually don't need to break out the snow blower until late December.

Here in Arkansas we have been known to be wearing shorts still at Thanksgiving. And yet, our first snow is generally right around Christmas Eve or so. Hard to believe the weather can change so much in that short time. I can remember several ice storms right at Christmas too.

Ha hah...
Same here this late afternoon...
BUT I will not count this as MY first snow of the season... It melted immediately when it contacted anything..
When I can use a broom to move it away from my walk way... then it's "my first " snow... :laughing:
Guess I better mow the last of the leaves this wkend, and then think about taking the mower deck off and putting on the snow blower... (may be a little early to do that just yet)... :smile:KennyV

No snow here :) but very cold already. My friend went out playing golf. Temperature is six degrees. Maybe the guys on military service are made to swim Han River now.

Mid-Michigan usually gets it's first real snowfall around Turkey Day, I have had all my snow removal gear (2 blowers, ATV with plow, JD with FEL and RB) ready for 2 weeks now. I hate working on things when the weather is cold, especially cleaning and storing mowers, trimmers, etc. so I try to have things done by the end of October. Supposed to hit 60 degrees here late Monday and I could do mowing one more time but am not going to because all my equipment is stored.

The late 'last' mowing is why I have not switched yet... I always try to catch that...
I want to give everything a final going over next wk... I hope... then switch. :smile:KennyV

No snow yet, but it did sleet for a few minutes about a week ago. Here in the deep south, we very rarely have any measurable snowfall. I'm not complaining, mind you :laughing: .
