snow leaves 2010-11-08

It's two-pairs-of-socks weather.

It was definitely fall yesterday. And today... with the weather and the time change, it's like someone hit fast forward on the seasons.

We've gotten about 1/4 inch of precipitation today, according to the National Weather Service. If temps drop enough tonight, that could make for some messy driving (brake early and lightly!).

Updated: We got 1.3 inches of snow Monday, according to the National Weather Service. Gloppy, slushy, icky precipitation.

But... if the forecast holds, we'll all be like, "What winter? What snow?" by Thursday. From Wednesday on into the weekend, it looks like sun with highs in the 50s.

By the way: the average first snowfall in this area is October 31 -- so it's not like today's weather is weird.

I swear we had an inch in Schenectady. There is snow thick on the ground and I was simultaneously shoveling snow and yet to be raked leaves off of my driveway while my 3 1/2 yr old was building a snow man. Ridiculousness.

@Leah: Your observation was on the mark. The final snow total for Monday was a little more than a inch.

Albany tightened its rules for shoveling snowy sidewalks last winter -- so how'd that work out?

If winter ever gets its act together and drops more snow on us, there will be sidewalks to shovel. And shortly after that, Albany will... (more)
