We have a chance here tonight, tomorrow and Saturday. I just put brownies in the oven to make myself feel better.

I'm not ready...

I'm in Florida right now, go back to Cape Cod tomorrow and am so not ready.
It's way too early for snow and I only have flip flops with me!

That's a good place for it. Living near Buffalo we get our share. The ski resorts an hour from here are hoping we get more.

I hate having to turn thee heat on so early in the season

[taffy19 Gold Contributor Find all posts View Profile Close taffy19]

Our heater has been on every morning the last two weeks but only in the early morning at 71 F. It is mostly still nice and sunny during the day but we had rain a few weeks ago and that was very early in the season for southern California but very welcome. No fires yet this year unless set on purpose. I believe that they were very minor.

The snow looks so nice to us but we rather not deal with it. This is what we love about living here. You can't beat a mild climate but we miss the space and beautiful trees of other places in this country. You can't have it all so you have to make a choice one way or the other.
