Title: First Snowball 2008!
Post by: Russell Nash on November 21, 2008, 10:57:42 AM: Early snowstorm here in Berlin again this year. I got to throw my first snowball of this season today. Anyone beat me?

Post by: Zathras on November 21, 2008, 03:21:29 PM: 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 bloody cold, though.

Post by: Windup on November 24, 2008, 05:50:50 AM: 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
