These pictures were taken at the ski area about 30 minutes from our house. I found this slide-show on our local TV website.

We got some much needed rain, not enough to affect anything very much but enough to water the lawn and flowers.

not ready for snow (in Indiana)

Oh nice snow... Sorry folks I love Autumn and Winter. Love to snuggle under a quilt with the window open and listen to the rain. While watching "Munsters go Home" on TV of course.
:-D
Got rain here too early AM.

Chasing Hawk you need to tell Kirmet to calm down there as your Avatar. LOLOL He's making me dizzy!!! ROFLMAO

I know right? Kermit makes me want to grab him and slap him. LOL. SO cute.

Snow in August??? I guess I'm dreaming if I think it will snow here in south Louisiana anytime soon. It's in the 90's here now.

I hate snow but I hate 90 plus degrees also. I am ready for cool crisp mornings!

our electric bill for July/Aug came today $288!!!
I'm ready for the AC to quit running 24/7

I'm with Erstan, would like some cooler weather. Get my wish Sat. and Sun. of course, holiday weekend. But snow in Aug and that much is way too early. Not looking forward to it at all. Have to win lottery and move south, lol!

Just passed the temperature sign on the bank...100 degrees.

WOW! We had rain in the Willamette valley. It smelled so good this morning and sounded wonderful as the drops of rain hit outside my bedroom window. I was hoping for a little longer for summer oh, well.

Having to stand out in the 98degree Sun everyday. OK so maybe not EVERYDAY but alot of days. I am more than ready for the cooler weather of Autumn.:-D
:XD:

Ours was a $141.00 for that same time period? Do you have a heat pump? Our house has 6" exterior walls filled with insulation and storm windows. There is 24" of insulation in the attic and about 6" in the floor.

Ok I changed my avatar, what do you think of my cute little teddy bear. :shock:

That bear is creepy!! Looks like the Snuggle bear, which I always thought looked a little evil!

LOL

It was nice hear waking up to raindrops hitting the roof and windows. It is suppose to in the 80's towards midweek here. So maybe on the other side of the "hill" it will warm up too.

Did you get a lot of the smoke from the fire up near Hwy 242? Last week we had a bad day, my allergies were killing me, my nasal inhaler was my best friend.

Ewwwy, I am not thinking snow yet! We had more than our share last winter thank you very much!!

Good Lord, You are getting snow, the southern area is roasting, and we are preping for a possible hurricane this Thursday.
I want to know who messed up the calendar between the west coast and the east coast?

Yes, yes, yes!!! Yikes :cry:

Snow?! Just the word makes me happy. And I am sooo looking forward to the crisp days of Fall weather, hot chocolate, snuggly quilts... which brings up your bear, Chasing Hawk. He is frightening!

:shock: :shock: :shock:
Mommy I see Mean BEARS!!!!!
OK Kermie can come back LOLOL!!! :D
:XD:

I'm ready for the snow bring it on!!!!!!

How is this one?

You must live in Bend! We live in LaPine and saw the snow, too.....I'm just now recovering from the heart attack!!!!

We live in La Pine too, near the state park.

We're behind Gordy's at Newberry estates!!! We should meet up!!!!!

Wow! Almost makes me homesick! Lived on the Stevens Pass Hwy for over 35 years. Moved to MO in 06 and don't miss the damp!
We have had 49 days over 90 degrees here this summer (MO) actually hate to say it but am looking forward to some rain....maybe next week!

You betcha!!!! I'll send you a PM

Thanks, I loved seeing the pictures! I think I'm just a winter person.

It's actually hard for me to believe September is coming this week, since I've been in the land of sunny 70 degree days all summer. I was glad to avoid the real heat, but I've missed weather. When they say it never rains in southern California, they aren't kidding. I'd give a lot for a good thunderstorm, or even just a real downpour. And you have snowwwww...

It has been COLD here in CB, MT. I froze last night and don't have the pilot lite on so more and more blankets and socks was all I could do!

LOVE IT!!!! LOLOL!!
Reminds me of my Best Friend and I..
:roll: :mrgreen:
:XD:

NOT READY FOR SNOW. I know it's coming any way.

My husband told me that we Norwegians in the southern part, around Jutenheim, got a surprise too! Just like you. There were cars still with summer tires strewn all over the road and people needing to be rescued.

Wow, hope everyone was alright.

You must be near Mt Bachelor in central Oregon. We had rain in SW Washington state. Not really ready for winter, but the grass will green up.

I'm in West Texas and the temp was LOW TODAY.... only 98 degrees.

No way! Not ready for that!

Short summer here in the pacific northwest wasn't it? Snow on the mountains the beginning of June and the end of August.

same here definitelt not ready for snow in India na but i do love to watch it snow! That i am ready for
