Refrigerator...If we are then it's because the weak get killed off on icy roads leaving only those who survive that and the deer on the roads to procreate...

Winter Has Finally Come to New Jersey
It's snowing!!!

So far, there's only a dusting on the ground, mostly on grassy areas, but we're supposed to pick up an inch or so overnight...

WAHOO!!!!

The snow is finally here. It's 3 degrees and windy. Somewhere between 3-5 inches by the time it's done. Yippee! Winter has finally arrived!

Ewker, I was not drunk and neither was Bison. It snowed off and on yesterday about 4 times. Huge flakes would fall and 10 minutes later the sun would come out, then more snow, then the sun, and so on and so on. Maybe I saw it since I am at a higher elevation than you. Too bad, so sad. :)

yay - we've already had a dusting in DC. Lots of overly made up republican women on metro complaining about how cold it is. More of it I say.

Where are you ENS? according to weather.com it's snowing in Lancaster right now.
Bison

According to the radar view on weather.gov, it looks like Lancaster is on the eastern edge of it. The snow might not be reaching the ground yet?

yeah, it's coming down, could be more than planned at this rate I think

Hey - does rain gear do well as flake resistence? I might have to wear my Marmot to my second job.

I think marmot is sexy apearal. Am I the only one who gets turned on by backpacking cloths?
Spirit Coyote

Why do I have the feeling that when BM asked about flake resistence he wasn't talking about snow.
lumberzac

LOL! I'm being serious! Is it snow proof? Is this a naive question? Y'all know I avoid winter with a passion, no?

And tonight is Marg night, I try to attract flakes.
Bearmagnet

BM, please post a picture comparing yourself in the rain gear or the marmot and I will let you know.
Spirit Coyote

BM - If it's waterproof it's also snowproof.

Hint... snow is just frozen water ;)

If it will repel water it will repel snow.
