Christmas Snow In October

If you were planning on doing some late season tanning outdoors and you haven’t gotten out of bed yet you might want to roll over and fall back to sleep because at 6 am this morning the first snow of the 2022-2023 winter season just fell.

When you do get up you might want to check first if you need your snow broom and scraper as there may be snowfall accumulation for you to shovel.

Whether it sticks around until March or April is yet to be seen though.
