It still feels like summer here, 80 degrees and sunny (in the SF bay area), but they got their first snow out at my home in Montana!!! There is more snow expected along with an extended cold front. We also had our first pacific storm in the bay area this past weekend. It was too warm for any meanigful snow in Tahoe, but whenever it starts raining here, it means winter is on its way.

Ron is buying and selling skis.? ( ;D? ;D? I think that's a sign of winter? ??? ??? ??? )

Nights here in the DC area have gotten cool, down into the 30/40's.? At least feels like fall.

The "Snow Birds" have started their annual migration down the Cheasapeake Bay.  Local joke, but Snow Birds are the people with live-aboard (or just big) sailboats that migrate south each winter (I guess the sailing in New England during the winter is a challenge).

When I go into the mounting shop, I use an alias, when the guy fills out the ticket, I tell him my name is Ron C.

See ya in the Boat buddy...

Awesome.

The weatherman last night sort of implied that Utah was going to get some high elevation snow as well.

What kind of waist width do you need in order to surf on 10" of new snow?   ??? ???

My oak trees are making more than the usual amount of acorns.  I think the almanac says that this means we will have a cold winter.  Now if I only knew what the wholly worms were doing? ??? ;D
