Early snowstorm here in Berlin again this year.  I got to throw my first snowball of this season today.  Anyone beat me?

Nope.  I drove through some snow last week, but there wasn't any accumulation.  I think Montana and Wyoming got hit about a month ago...

It's been snowing here for about a week, but not settling.

It's bloody cold, though.

CT's heaviest snowfall so far barely even counted as a dusting.

My snow's gone already, but I got to throw three snowballs before it totally turned to slush.

I'd like to hear my options, so I could weigh them, what do you say?
Five pounds?  Six pounds? Seven pounds?

Snowed again overnight.  I had a real snowball fight with my kids and there was even enough left over to make a snowman.

We've got about a quarter inch at the moment here (thumb of Michigan). 

I'll just go back to being silent again now.

Central Iowa got a light dusting yesterday, but it melted by this afteroon as temps hit the low 50's.  I took advantage to go out and get the fall garden work wrapped up -- trimmed the asparagus to the ground, removed all the mulch from the asparagus trench and bagged it, and gave the raspberry bed its fall pruning.

I need the change in seasons.  My problem with Berlin is the humidity.  In winter it's just grey.  In spring and fall it's possible to feel cold and be sweating at the same time.

It works so well in so many situations, and I'm nothing if not easily amused...  :D

florida .. pish I live in the freakin' Sonoran desert.  Most people here blink blankly at you when snow is mentioned.  I'm still wearing freakin' shorts.
