Around here we get nasty summers, but not as nasty as Arizona or Texas. We get bitter winters, but nothing to compete with North Dakota. We get fall, but nothing people would drive out to see like New England or Colorado, and for that matter, those between seasons are schizoid affairs, with sleet in May and 85º days in November. When it snows, it usually just makes the roads slick enough to provide illustrations that while four-wheel-drive helps you accelerate on slick roads, it does fuckall for breaks and steering. Witness the Grand Cherokees, H2s, and Exploers in ditches and high-centered on traffic islands.

So this kind of actual snow is kind of remarkable. Keep in mind, I mowed up leaves on Thanksgiving Day...

ew. Nasty shit. And hopefully that's more than I'll see all winter long. I can see it on the Alps every day and some of the nearer hills. That's enough for me.
