Thanks so much for your note, June. :) I was really surprised to see snow this early in the year! It all melted right off this morning, though, which I was kind of glad to see. I'm not fond of the heat but I'm not quite ready for snow to stay, this early in the year. :-)

Thanks for your note, Case! Good to hear from you!! I'll be sure to send this east so you can "enjoy" it too!!! No, I wouldn't be that mean, knowing how you hate the cold. :D

I agree, Windchimes---it's way too early for snow!! It can cool down but not to that extreme! Good gravy!! Thanks for writing :-) Thanks for the wish for my safety---it really was scary at times not being able to see ahead of me and not knowing what was there!

For sure, Kathy---although I couldn't cope with your summer heat and humidity---it's been bad enough up here in the 90's too many days this summer! Enjoy!! :-)

Anything that keeps away mosquitoes makes me happy, John! I'm with you there!
But I have to quote an article from the Minnesota Climatology Group that says: " The earliest documented snow in Minnesota is a trace that fell at the Duluth Airport on August 31, 1949." :-)

Thanks for your note, MB! :-)

LOL!!! Thanks a lot, Katy!! :P

Gil--somebody else can have this if they want the distinction of being earliest with snow! I was just glad I made it home without ending up out in the cattails somewhere!! :D

Dave, I thought you were going to say you'd just come back from Lapland or somewhere where this is nothing!! :D Yes, it sure has been a crazy weather year, I agree!!

Karen, thanks for thinking of me! If only it was for a better reason, though! :D

I wish I could, Kim! What a bummer having snow so early. At least it didn't stick around. :-) And I hope it doesn't come back to stay either. At least not for a while yet.

Yeah, Lori---cut straight to winter! Good grief!

Thanks for writing, Tresa--I'd gladly send you all the moisture you need if I could! It's heartbreaking to think of all the beautiful old-growth forests there that are going up in flames, not to mention people's homes and livelihoods. Stay safe.

Thanks a bunch, Mindi! I'd sure love to be able to head down to New Mexico or Utah for the winter!! Yeah, right...dream on! My tomatoes were goners even though covered, when it hit 20º last Tuesday. I brought in the ones that would still ripen but the plants are all dead now. Bummer.

Laughing!! Ingrid, we consider 32º above zero a major heat wave in winter! :D
