    Snow Already?!

    Did you ladies see there is a chance of snow overnight tonight and tomorrow morning? Am I crazy or is this awfully early to start thinking about studded tires, wool socks, booties, face covers, and all that other winter gear?

    I've been thinking the same thing, and I'm quite a bit further south than you.

    I've been wearing wool socks and a Buff as a face cover already. I'm already considering my softshell jacket for morning commutes and I put cleats on my winter cycling boots last night. I didn't think I'd need the winter softshell or boots until at least December!

    I hope that this isn't some kind of bad omen....*knocks wood* Right now, we're getting socked by one rainy nor'easter, with another one set to arrive later this weekend

    well, this is norway and all that, but still: we're having brilliant autumn weather complete with sub-freezing mornings. i've fetched down and worn my winter tights and winter jacket, have worn overshoes for a couple of weeks already, and have heard many a studded tire crunch past on my commute. I'm holding off on the studs until I really have to, though.

    I wore 3 layers on top today, and a buff over my face. It's cold. It's looking like the snow will miss me, though. We usually don't get any until January.

    I am out near the Berkshires in western Mass, and there is snow in the forecast for the next couple of days. Wet snow + leaves on the trees= power outage.

    No snow here, but we've got a nor'easter today with highs in the 40s for the next few days.

    I'm trying to figure out how to convince myself that I really do want to go to the gym tonight -- it's a 15 minute walk each way. No fun in a cold rain.
