Snow Doubt!

Today was just plain beautiful.  It was sunny and the temperature was up around 60 degrees.  Tomorrow is looking pretty good too, back up near 60 again.  Then as we get to the weekend the prospects for rain and chillier temperatures will be increasing.  The real question is; when are we going to see some snow?  I have the answer.

While we may see a few flakes in the air early next week...say Monday or Tuesday, mixed in with some rain...that won't be any big deal.  It's later in the week, actually by the weekend, that it looks like we may well see our first batch of accumulating snow of the winter season of 2010-11.  I know, at the end of next week it will still officially be fall, but around these parts the winter weather almost always begins well before the calendar announces the official change of the season around about the 21st of December.  So my advice is to get all of the fall yard work done this weekend, in between raindrops, and get the sprinkler system blown out before the ground has a chance to freeze.  You might want to look around in the garage or shed to locate the snow shovel, although in early to mid November any snow that does fall will usually melt within a day or two.  With the winter ahead looking colder and snowier than average, due to the presence of a La Nina out in the Pacific, it will be a good idea to have that shovel handy soon, as the snow will likely come early and often this upcoming cold season.
