It seems as though the date of the first sighting of snow is something that is completely unpredictable. Every year we get a different date, and different types of snow.
Most years the date of the first snow is on or around the 15th. For our first snow we basically get some snow falling, and melting on contact. Sometimes we’ll get a coating, but it melts.
Right now it’s 42, down from 52 just 3 hours ago. It is reportedly snowing in Buffalo at 36. Do I think it’ll snow tonight/tomorrow morning? Yes, I do.
Now I’d like to open up a discussion on how hard y’all think this winter will be. According to both Farmers Almanacs it’s going to be a hard one. And in case you didn’t notice, this years crops were huge. From most people I’ve talked to, that’s a sure sign of a hard winter.
Now, a hard winter would be a turn-around of the trend. For that last who-knows-howmany years we’ve been getting lighter and lighter winters, with them actually starting later and later. And now the kids might have to deal with snow on Halloween.
