Luckily no raking where I live! Denver is at about 5000 ft. My house is at about 8500 ft. So we generally get more snow, especially with systems coming from the northwest. I just checked the NWS local forecast and it looks like 3-7 inches total at my house. But then it warms up again and the snow on the roads will melt quickly because of how warm it's been up to now. So it's not enough to keep me from Houston!!

Sure is hard to rake those leaves up...they weigh a ton !

Marilyn, I guess that's the end of your garden for the season, huh? I'm glad the trip you had to take today was a safe trip for you!
Lottie, yeah, that's the problem with early snows! The trees haven't yet shed their leaves, so snap off and fall under the weight of the snow. A lot of ours has already melted, though. They are predicting more snow tonight, but I don't think the weather people have ever gotten it right twice in a row, so I doubt we will get any! And, Nancy, aren't you a lot higher than Denver? So, like maybe you'll get LOTS of snow? I know, I am evil! I hope you are able to get to the airport just fine! I still have a picture in my mind of the massive snow you had to shovel through last winter!

Nancy ! I wish !!

Oh, I just live that powdering of icing sugar. I know it's not so great to drive in, especially as its only October, but I must admit I love the look of the stuff!

Today we had the opening day of our biannual medical exhibition in Zurich. Two years ago it was in the same week and I remember we had a freak snow the night before, it took us three hours to get from our office to the exhibition hall which shouldn't take longer than 45 minutes. All but one road out of Zug were closed due to accidents and trees having come down through the weight of the snow. Not something that generally occurs here. And today we complained because the fog never lifted

It's supposed to get here Wed night, but is supposed by leave Fri night/Sat morning. They're expecting around 2 inches in Denver, not sure how much up in the mountains where I live. I just picked up the wood pellets so I can heat my house when it gets here! But Flat Rita and I will head out to Houston on Sunday, so the snow can come back and do whatever it wants next week!

See y'all in Houston...

:shock: West of Montana, too ! Not as much as Dawn...but a mess to drive in ! We had to go south 90 mi.s in it at 7am .
DH had a load of scrap metal to dispose of and the we had to pick up our winter supply of freshly butchered
chickens. Home now without incident....tho there were those not so lucky...or skillful !

I am sure Flat Rita will be making an appearance in Houston, knowing these crazy TQS members. Not mentioning any names, lol.

Oh my Dawn, it's just too early for snow. You will enjoy Houston - that's if you don't get snowed in. Seriously though, hope you all have a wonderful time.

(I don't think I could let you all go off to Houston without saying "you all go off and have a great time... don't worry about me.... I'll be fine here by myself in Ireland." )

Dawn, That looks pretty and refreshing to me right now. How'd that be for a Chinese Whispers image to practice on?

One week to go - seven more sleeps! I so look forward to meeting you all ( or is it Y'all?)

Lets hope that early snow does not stick...

Uggg! TOO SOON!

Dawn, that looks cold, I bet you are looking forward to Houston, it might be just a bit warmer there. See you next week.

YIKES!!! :shock:
