You and me both Jim, though I'm afraid this winter is going to be worse than ever, with the sun spot count being so low this year. One of the lowest counts in 100 years or so.

Jim, I thought all Northerners loved winter  Here in the St Louis area we've had over 9" of rain so far in October, a new record, and more on the way today. My outdoor cooks have been very limited lately.

We have about 10 inches where I live "front range north of Denver". The foothills 10 miles west got the worst of it and yes schools did shut down yesterday (probably only happens once or twice per year). We do have 300 days of sunshine here. This must be one of the other 65. Won't stop me from bbq'n. |

Yeah, when I move here 30 years ago winter was my favorite season. It is now solidly in last place. |

Bob, there is absolutely NOTHING I like about winter. The cold, the snow, shoveling the crap day after day ... sometimes hour after hour. Just the THOUGHT of snow falling makes me sick. Although, I do not mind driving in snow, we do get plenty of it up here, and I live in the countryside portion of Wisconsin and drive a 4WD Jeep Wrangler that gets through it pretty easily. As lo0ng as I stay off the roads where others insist on driving like they're in the Indy500.
Smokin', Smokin' We're cookin' tonight, just keep on tokin’

definitely too early for snow anywhere as far as i'm concerned...

You are correct Rob, winters along the front range of Colorado are not bad at all compared to other areas that get regular snow. There have many years where I have golfed each month of the year. I guess i should not whine so much, it just seems soooo early. Steve |

We had our fist snow about a month ago - Not as much as that, but enough for my kids to make snowmen. -Mark.
