By The Way...

Hearing The tune to "Frogger" running through my head. Why, God? WHY?!?


There's not a lot of it, but it's there: It's the first snow of the season. Temperatures got down to about 17 degrees last night, and at the moment it's a balmy 20. But if we're lucky, we might hit 30 before the day is over! What luck!

You know, and this is just me here, but I believe that snow before Thanksgiving is wrong. Morally. Esthetically. And otherwise. The good news is that it's going to warm up quite a bit tomorrow (to 38! Whoo-hoo!) and then apparently stay in the 40s through next Tuesday. Take that, temporally precipitate snow!

Any snow where you are yet? Naturally, this applies to people who generally get snow at one point or another; if you're in Miami and you write in to say "No snow! Ha ha ha ha ha!" I may have to hop on a plane and head to Miami just to strangle you.

  I'm in the part of the Buckeye State known as south west central, wherever that is, lol...and we had our first snow on October 24th.  Big wet flakes.  Thank heavens they didn't stick much or for long!  (Poor nightmaremom.)
  
  Here's a link to my entry for that memorably early snowfall:  http://www.livejournal.com/users/ophelialaughs/76307.html
