I just got to cross off ‘snows before Halloween’. The only spot I have left says something about Four Horsemen. IDK.

I can hear the hoof beats from here. Stay frosty.

We got a very light dusting of snow a couple weeks back over here. But halloween itself got up to 60, even though it was very windy.

This was the opposite of last year, where we got about 5 inches of snow ON halloween.

Freeze warning tonight for NW GA. About 3 weeks early...

 

[BMK]

We had our first trace of snow on Nov.1st. By the end of the week temperature is supposed to hit 70. Such is life here in western PA.

It was in the 60's this morning. Just like snow, here.

 

[Katodude]

Pfffft, snow, we have a tropical storm headed our way!!!

I saw my first Christmas decoration.... I'm appalled. A blow up Grinch at the pizza joint we go to. Standing next to the bar.
What happened to Veterans Day then Thanksgiving before Xmas?!?!

The number of "firefighters" in our neighborhood who have been installing Christmas lights this week is disturbing on many levels... mainly, who the heck is left at the fire station.

 

[YippeeSkippy]

ok, well its one thing I guess to install them.....but if they turn 'em on? They're not getting invited to the 4th of July party for sure!

Thats next week. I can't wait.

If they are slow enough to have time to hang lights, it’s a good day for you, your friends and neighbors.

I helped a stranded motorist with a flat tire once and she was the head of the local ER and said to name drop her the next time I was there and she’d make sure I was well taken care of. I said ‘No thanks, I’d prefer that we never meet again’

Firefighters install Christmas lights? So, they won't fill up my pool, but they'll install my lights?

 

[YippeeSkippy]

Those ladder trucks make it a snap!

 

[JJ_Tex]

I'm not so sure about the "firefighters" I see in my neighborhood hanging lights/landscaping/moving people. They are certainly off duty and not in uniform or in their fire truck if they are actual firefighters. My guess is that maybe some firefighters own/partially own the companies to use the name, then hire out the work to day laborers.

Regardless of if they have ever been on a fire truck.... Christmas lights in October and early November should be outlawed.

 

[Leebo]

You’ve never hung lights in late November when its 20° outside. Talk about a horrid experience.

My gut says I’ll be hanging ours next week as the weather looks like it’ll be in the 60’s

 

[YippeeSkippy]

look, we can't help it you chose to live in a frigid northern wasteland... Christmas doesn't come until late December. Those are the rules.

Preach. I hang them a tad early before the cold snap hits. Rest assured Maddie I don’t turn them on until it’s ‘time’.

On the plus side, we are so far ahead of ourselves with holidays, We should be celebrating next Christmas, just in time for this Christmas.

 

[YippeeSkippy]

Ok...another pet peeve of mine.... I don't care if you put 'em up at Easter (please don't. I lied. I care) but you're not supposed to take them down until Epiphany. That is January 6th, for all you heathens (just kidding!).
My momma said it was bad luck to take them down before Ephiphany.

Once I have this home automation up and running, I want to have LED strips along the roof line. I'll make whatever holiday I want, when I want.
