I've been in Vermont this weekend. It flurried in the valleys around 5pm last night, and the mountains had full on measureable snow last night. Which works perfectly for Killington, which opened today.

Killington is open already!?!?!
We had frost this morning. First one.
Now I'm waiting for the deep freeze and a bnch of snow. Gotta get up to the lake house and help dad get the snowmobiles ready. He's 83 and moving the machines around is a little hard for him. Also have to help with the fall stauff around the propery and get stuff ready for the winter (wood pile, split logs, put snowblower on the tractor, pull in the dock/float.....)
And I can't forget about working on the daughters house. I guess my house is third on the list.

Killington is just barely open, but still making sure they are the first to open/last to close. Their report:
On Monday, October 19 we will be skiing and riding on 2 groomed runs in the North Ridge area. Our hard-working Parks Crew built six fresh features overnight in the Reason Early Season Park. Please note that available terrain is for expert skiers and riders only. Early season conditions exist, please ski and ride with care.
I can't wait to hit the slopes, but I can wait a couple of more months.

I have not skied in years. Don't think my knees would hold up. 20+ years of catching fast and slow pitch softball have taken a toll.
Besides, god invented engines for a reason.

They opened to season pass holders on Sunday. One of my classmates is a true ski bum now, and he posted some pics. While skiing.

And as I recall, they will stay open until late June next year.
Being a ski bum sounds attractive; last time I was in Park City I met a couple of retired ones who lived there all winter; if my knees hold out I'll consider the same in a few years (and go to Sundance as well). Ah, to dream.

Frost is something that happens on beer mugs and condensers filled with liquid nitrogen.

We got our first "snow" on Saturday. I would not have noticed it but for the fact that I was carting my newly repaired computer to my car and was having to shield it from flakes hitting things they should not. Plus it was sunny, which just made it weird.
It's WAY too fucking early.

Frost is the coating or deposit of ice that may form in humid air in cold conditions, usually overnight. In temperate climates it most commonly appears as fragile white crystals or frozen dew drops near the ground, but in cold climates it occurs in a greater variety of forms. Frost is composed of delicate branched patterns of ice crystals formed as the result of fractal process development

Been very pleasant weather here, mid 60's at night.
The SF Bay Area is tops in my book.
Not to mention the cost of living here.
btw: There will be no COLA for social security this year.
PIKERS! 
this just in:
A swarm of earthquakes continued to shake the San Ramon Valley with at least 17 small temblors rolling through the area Monday afternoon, including one that measured 3.5 and was widely felt in the East Bay.
The shakers are among more than 200 quakes that have rippled through the region over the past week, many of them felt within the Tri-Valley region of Contra Costa and eastern Alameda counties.
The latest volley in the San Ramon area started with a 2.8 magnitude quake at 4:02 p.m. It was followed by two more at 4:21 p.m., including the one measuring 3.5. The quakes arrived in rapid succession after that, but none of them exceeded 2.5 in magnitude.
The swarm could last for days or weeks, then end without notice, say earthquake experts.
“The good news is that most of these earthquakes stay under magnitude 4,” Susan Garcia, a spokeswoman with the the U.S. Geological Survey’s Earthquake Science Center, said. “An earthquake swarm is not unusual in that area.”

It's been
very pleasant here in
The City That Used To Know How as well...
Relentlessly "pleasant"...
It's been in the low to mid 70's every day around here, with sunshine from day break to sunset.... the extended forecast suggests "wonderful" weather is going to continue for at least the next week...
As far as I'm concerned, it should
stop..
.now...
I
never thought the day would come, when I would wake up to a bright sunny, beautiful morning and say...
"Gessus this sucks... I wish it was raining... "
But that day has come...
Enough of this beautiful, sunny, mid-70s
Indian Indigenous People's summer...
Enough barbecuing and blendering...
We need
RAIN...
I'm tired of reading reassuring reports from NOAH about how much rain El Nino is supposed to deliver us this year...
Let's start to see some of it...
