First snow!

[Boyd]

Hey - is anybody else seeing heavy snow tonight? Down here it's coming down hard at about 7:20 PM. Around 3" so far. Radar shows a heavy band approaching my area now, but it looks like it will pass quickly and then it may be over.

But it looks pretty cool right now

Just a little on the grass here.

Here in my 1/2 acre of paradise in Barnegat (west of the GSP), it's snowing big fluffy flakes and is sticking to the streets now. Here's a photo of a mountain laurel getting a blanket of snow in my yard:



It's a great night for a hike!

Its been snowing here all day. No accumulation to speak of, but it still puts a spring in my step. Life is good.

Still coming down here at 8:30 but not as heavy as before. This is the scene outside my window at the moment

Jessica said all you both need is a deer standing there to make the photo perfect.

I've had tons of snow since Monday. I liked it a lot better before having to drive a half hour twice a day in it.

Caught a deer in the backyard a bit after the snow first fell a few days ago:

After some accumulation:

Also, ferrets like snow:

Not much snow here, just a dusting. Enjoy the cold air though, I hear 50s are going to be returning next week.

Lookit the ferreeets! How cute that they love the snow. I would have thought they'd be too chilly!

We got a respectable first snow down here. Just measured 3.5" on top of my BBQ grill out in the yard. Most parts of NJ didn't get much if any according to this map: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/marfc/Maps/snow_depth/Middle_Atl.png

And it's cold here too - 20 degrees at 9:00AM. What happened to that warmer than normal winter the NWS just forecast? I guess some warmer days are coming this weekend, which is fine by me.

[TrailOtter]

Got about two inches where I am - calling for more tomorrow nite, I think..

Wow - you must have your hands full with those!

BTW, I used to drive past White Haven regularly on trips from Medford when we had a place in upstate NY. Nice area up there - you'll see a lot more snow this winter than I will!

Pretty funny to read this thread now. Big change in attitudes. Everyone goes from excited kids to adults who need to get to work. Good luck with the next storm.
