We are having our first snow fall, was out this morning and got a few things before it started. It will be a crazy day with fender benders out there. It as if people forgot how to drive in snow every year, same thing.
I am going to keep off the road and stay safe, the TWINS would miss me. 🙂

We had a small bicycle tour today at comparatively warm 16°C. So the weather is quite different in different places 😉

We got about 4” last night. Cuba, in 2-1/2 weeks, sure is looking good.👍

In Canada no matter what part of it, this time of the year never know when you will run into a storm or if you go somewhere get stuck there.

Really does sound delightful! Have a great trip. We were only suppose to have 4 cm's but looking more like 4 inches or more, and of course it isn't over yet. I got my undercoating done just in time, a few weeks ago.

For about a month, temperatures in the middle of the day have been reaching 37°C or 38°C, no rain, very high humidity. About 3°C higher than ususal. Right now, it's 01:10 in the morning and it's 27°C ["feels like" 31°C]. Chance of snow: zero.

About half of Arizona has snow every year.

As weather.gov says: "As metropolitan Phoenix continues to expand in size, it's becoming more common to see snowfall reports in residential areas located in the higher foothill elevations of the north valley. However in most of the city, an event that produces measurable snow is still quite rare."

With climate changing, you just might wake up to it at some point. After all places are getting snow that have never had it before. Hard enough to drive in summer tires in the winter, but if you've never done it before IMPOSSIBLE.
