Snow!

Snow coming here too -another Surprise Storm it looks like - had one years ago on October 13th - leaves still on the trees - took down pour lines throughout a couple counties. No heat, no water, no phones - nothing for a week or more. Lost most of the trees in 2 - 3 counties.

Lost all the foods in the freezers - it was not nice. Now they say it's coming again. Maybe I should pluck my trees?????? LOL
 
We had the first frost here on Sunday. Looked so pretty. Now the brussle sprouts will have some flavour.:D
 
Atleast living here in town with the police and ambulance station right down the road they get our electric back on super fast. I picked some greens from the garden yesterday evening and gathered some peppers and the last of my herbs. Im going to pickle a few quarts of greens like my thai friend showed me.
 
Calling for the white stuff here in central Illinois too, janie! Dang- I don't dislike snow or I wouldn't have lived in Alaska for 13 years, but it's way too early for my tastes! :)
 
I grew up in New England and I love the first snow of the year, it's always so beautiful. After that it gets old quick.

Here in Georgia even a dusting of snow will close school and turn roads into a demolition derby. I get a kick out of how many 4wd cars and trucks end up in ditches LOL
 
The biggest secret to life in Alaska? The locals up there would KILL me... but the truth is- in most regions where large populations live- the weather is worse here in various regions of the lower-48 than up there. Of course, the furthermost far-flung regions aside- where most of the residents are concentrated, the clime is pretty average. In fact, more times than not, from Dutch Harbor, Juneau, and even Anchorage and the Mat-Su Valley- when I called home to Illinois it was generally nastier and colder here than up there! Of course Alaskans like that everyone has the perception that it's COLD and BLIZZARD-LIKE all the time! Keeps the tourists away- HA! :)
 
it's supposed to hit about 3 this afternoon with 6 to 8 inches expected - living in the snow belt - that means well over a foot

leaves are on the trees - I don't like this one - I'm expecting no power again
 
Hope you dont loose your electric Mama.
Today it is 39 with constant pouring rain. I think a pot of soup is in order and some homemade bread.
 
Good minds think alike, janie! I simmered-up a pot of split pea soup w/ some ham hocks tonight at home. It really hit the spot and warmed the soul- not to mention the roof of my mouth! Then a l'il later when I called my sister she said she too had simmered a pot of homemade soup- she made chicken-veggetable for her kids. What did you end up making?
 
I made chicken and stars soup from RR's Comfort Foods cookbook.
I got the stuff at the store to make brownie biscotti today.

Isn't it terrible that snow has started a bit early, on the news last night they were showing New Jersey with snow. I love snow mainly because I was born in the Caribbean and Iam still amazed when I see snow falling, I begin to jump up like a child rushing to put my clothes on to play, now cleaning the snow is a different story, luckily our maintenance crew does all that before we awake, and of course there is an additional fee for that luxury, but its worth it.
 
Ugh it is cold here today. It is in the low 30's and very cloudy. Supposed to be in the 20's tomorrow night. I cannot get over how early it has gotten bitter cold. Last year we were still having 80 degree days up til like the 20th of October.
 
tell me about it - and no hope of even having a day or two of Indian Summer this year! The furnace has been on since the last week of September - I'm just hoping the leaves drop from the trees - if not - with enough snow we will be in trouble
 
Our heat is on too, and I went to take the garbage to the dumpsters by our garage my fingers were frozen, my darling hubby and I are so upset because we wanted to take a ride on our new motorcycle but it is uncomfortable riding in the rain, this weather has just cut short our riding days.
 
Supposed to be close to 60 this Thur and Fri but they said that may and will probably change to colder forcast.
It has been cold all day here. I went to the garden to pick greens and it was freezing.
 
really my summer plants in my garden are looking extremely unhappy drooping leaves and all, such a heartening look but that fall for you, we can't have it all
