I'M SHOCKED They're seldom right!!! They said we'd get mixed rain and snow!!! WE DID Ok, I gotta calm down, I must be dreamin, it's way too early in the year for this. The trees haven't even lost their leaves yet. Oh no, I pray this won't kill any of them. SOMEBODY TELL ME A JOKE, PLEEEEZE I just checked 3 weather services and all showed either 27f or 30f and it's 6:59 am. Dad blasted seesaw seasons, they drive me nuts. What's it like where you are? EDIT: There's about a half inch of the stuff on the ground right now.

I hope it melts soon too but it's still snowing out there and it's already 12.05pm, I really don't like this particular seesaw season ...... well, they did say tomorrow would be warmer so it'll all be gone by then.

I'm sure it will be gone for you soon, and then it will certainly start here and keep up until spring. Kill me now! @rebelann

You're right, it is rare. The last time it snowed here was in 2015 .... well, the mountain tops do get snow more often than the low lands do. Doesn't your area get snow now and then?

congrats'n yer snow! seriously, yer neck'f the woods 'tis like here'n the moisture much needed. 't least ya didn't stay'n the deep freeze fer days'n end, eh? the trees'll be fine. mother nature's cruel joke. 30-40, sometimes more dips'n temps. we've 'd 2 winter weather e'ents. seems most 'nfair to get such prior to many folks way'p north, lol.

I wasn't all that happy with it although like you said we did need the moisture. This is the last seesaw season of the year. It's back in the 70s and overnight it's gettin down into the 50s for now. I suppose we'll get a few more icy days along the way but fortunately these icy events usually only last a day maybe 2. I'm worried that January might just be freezing cold next year. I pray it won't be.

@rebelann 'twas definitely not thrilled here with the 24/7 high winds that came with that storm here. jest brutal. 'twas 72 here today, 'pposed to be our normal temps the next 10 days. 'f course, they've gotten such wrong 'fore, so'll not hold my breath. 'tis odd, the national forecast fer yer neck'f the woods, mine'n most 'f the western states 're to be drier'n warmer'n the norm. i reckon mother nature'd not gotten said memo. ya know, coz 't snowed down yer way 'n this'd be our 2nd winter storm, lol. yepperz, moisture badly needed!

There doesn't seem to be any normals weather-wise these days. A lot of places that used to get plenty of rain no longer do and then here we seem to get spring earlier and earlier each year.

This year we've gotten above the average in rain already and now we've gotten snow for which there is no average cuz we generally get snow in the lowlands about every 5 or 10 years depending on Mother Natures mood.
