Snow!!
 

Did anyone see in the news about it Snowing today in the High country of WY and MT? WOW!! If anyone from the list lives in that area, please post some photos here.:love:

Doesn't surprise me. I used to drive all around the US on business back in the 1980s. Decided one mid-September around 1986 or so to drive Wolf Creek Pass en route to another destination, just for the view.

Big mistake. Got caught in a blizzard. I was delivering a Mercedes to a dealership and normally those things handled beautifully in bad weather, but this one was slipping all over the place. I had to drive so slowly I was being passed by hippies in old VW buses, grandmothers in wheelchairs and kids on Big Wheels. Finally made it to the dealership. They told me someone had installed the wrong size tires, which explains the poor handling.

That makes me think of the local TV weather in Colorado Springs. If there is snow expected anywhere in their broadcast area they will "tease" it. "Is there snow in your forecast?...we'll tell you later." "It could be a snowy drive to work tomorrow morning for some viewers...more later." "A snowy weekend for some...we'll tell you who, coming up!"

Of course the only snow would be above 10,000 feet which is higher than almost any town in the viewing area. And of course Pikes Peak is 14,100 and is less than 20 miles from downtown, and it gets snow in the summer sometimes, so they could use that as an excuse to tease snow year-round.

That's why I don't listen to local tv news and use weatherunderground.com. They give you percentage chance of precipitation and the expected amount. So a forecast with 60% chance of precipitation, but only .01 inches expected is nothing to worry about.

And yet, I too would also like to see photos of September snow in the high country of Wyoming and Montana because it would be beautiful.

earliest snow in MA that I remember specifically was on 10/13 back in the early '90s
