Snow Already?!

[Becky]

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.

Bah, what's a few flurries in October?
Time to pull on the merino stuff and feel cozy.

We had snow last week and I've already gotten 2 ski days in. Now I get to enjoy Indian summer.

Ack, sorry. I wrote before noticing that the subforum was USA, Northeast. Thought I was just in preview mode and hadn't posted, but bing, here it was. Just ignore me ;-)

I agree (as I'm sitting here dressed head to toe in wool)!
