I like snow–But in October?

Just three days ago, we were carving pumpkins for Halloween. Yesterday, my daughter made a snowman on our deck! Yes, Virginia it snowed in NJ on October 28, 2008. We got about 4.5 inches of snow in our backyard –and my sister who lives about 20 minutes away got almost a foot.

It was wet, it was heavy and caused a lot of damage to the poor trees and power lines. And today with temperatures not predicted to go over 45, it’s going to stay around for a little. Looks like the Farmers’ Almanac “chilling Halloween forecast” is right on the mark.

Might have to change our Halloween costumes from Olympic swimmer to Olympic skier.

Any snow in your backyard? Tell us about it.
