1st Flakes of 2008???

It looks like the first snowflakes of the season are on the horizon! A much colder pocket of air is getting set to make a charge into the region, on the backside of a rain-making system that will impact our weekend weather.
While the first forecast of snow for the season may seem like a shock, it’s really not uncommon for snow to show up in the forecast before Halloween.
In digging through the climate records in the 24 Hour Tracking Center, the first flakes of last year’s incredibly snowy season didn’t fall until November 5th. Just the year before, however, West Michigan broke a record for early snowfall, recording 2” of snow on October 12th.
If you think that’s early, in 2003 we received our first snowflakes of the season on September 30th!
You know that in Michigan it is a requirement that childrens’ Halloween costumes fit over snowmobile suits.
John, You’re right about that, but about the time you plan for a snowmobile suit we have one of those “hot” Halloween’s!!! LOL!!!
Not ready for the snow yet, but the lil ones heard the word snow & already asking when we get to go sledding!!! LOL!!!
Time to see what fits when it comes to the winter clothes!!!
We also had snow here this morning. Bummer. We dont have any storms to look forward to ( besides snow storms) for a long time.
*tear*
Heres to chasing “snownados” haha
