We got about 5 cm of snow a couple days back, and temperatures just above freezing since then. Slush is so fun.

The weather's gone from "everything good about autumn" to "balls shrivelingly horrible" in the space of one week. I was getting my jollies out of the last few days of short skirt-worthy weather, when suddenly I woke up one day and it was raining and air-stealing cold out. This has kept up since - it's like the midwest suddenly remembered it's November and that God hates everyone here.
If you finally made the move to Iowa, then what I'm describing is the aftermath of that.

Yup, got our snow on Friday, just as I was half-way through my first shift at the new job. Sunny and no clouds today, but still cold.

More snow and now it's somewhat cold. So long as it isn't slushy, I'm not gonna bitch.

So far, I've been lucky. It hasn't snowed since that little bit on Halloween, and it's been rather warm the past two days.

First snow of the season this morning. Only about a 1/4", but at least it's something.

Storm just moving in here now! From what we are hearing it's going to get nasty here for the next several days! Ohhhh Lichy, Sisq wants to take you out when the snow flies. And in his words "make you piss yourself".

According to the papers, we have a cold front from Siberia moving in which will bring us down to about -25, with no end in sight. Good thing we just filled up the parafin tank.
