The first snowfall of the season is descending over Dogtown, and it's beautiful. A light snow, it hisses gently as it hits the sere yellow, gold, orange, and red leaves left on the trees. Time for a fire in the fireplace...

Woke up to the first snow of the season here in northern Indiana as well. And now the lake effect snow is hitting us pretty good, with 8-12” expected between now and Tuesday morning. Welcome, winter!
Mother Nature can keep that nastiness to herself.
Ten + inches Friday. Had to fire up the Deere. It is a winter wonderland out there though. Beautiful!
No snow down south, but it's as cold as a som bitch out there... High 30s
Saturday night I was fishing in short sleeves.
This cold snap came on fast.

About two inches of powdery snow over a crust of ice in the snow belt of northeastern Ohio. For us that's just a light coating. Not bothering to shovel.
No chance of snow here, but we might get falling iguanas as the temp is going to drop down to 50 degrees tonight.
I saw those warnings all over social media. Im not even down south. I'd rather have the snow than falling Iguanas!
I was very happy to see a few inches this morning........of SNOW......keep your minds out of the gutter you weirdos. 
I've finally been able to breath for the last 2 weeks. I find anything over 70 degrees unbearable!
The wife and I are headed to Alaska in a week or two. We will spend at least a month there, hopefully longer.

A Google search has given me a detailed knowledge of Lake Effect Snow, oh my word that's crazy stuff when it happens.
The fireplace seemed happy to be awakened from its seasonal slumber, warming my stocking feet and pleasantly scenting the crisp air over Dogtown.
Where I live near the Eastern shore of lake Erie, we have some of the worst lake effect snows in the country. Its not unusual for 2-4 feet to fall overnight. Sometimes I need to plow our driveway 2-3 times a day.
Its also common to get "snowed in" our house. I have to go out our sliding door, and shovel the snow away from the other doors to get out.
I watch videos of this sort of snow falling and it’s difficult to comprehend. I have to ask……..why do so many people live in these areas?
It's 30 degrees in Southern Louisiana this AM, but no snow is expected. But everyone will be dressing like its a blizzard. I guess that I'll have to wear long pants for a few days.
That’s the same question I ask about flood-prone areas like New Orleans, or hot and sticky areas like New Orleans, or mosquito-and-alligator-infested areas like Florida (and New Orleans).
You haven't been down there for too long, have you? Give it a few more years, you'll see how your tolerance for cold is diminishing.
