Tony and I had just returned from Kansas where we were hoping to find a little warmer weather than it had been in Minnesota. We found no such luck. Anyways we got home on Sunday night and a few light flurries were in the air. When I woke up on Monday morning to head to work the ground was starting to get covered. By the end of the day, Austin had received about 3 inches of snow! This was Oct. 11, 2009. I cannot ever recall having snow that early. The earliest I can remember is on Halloween when I was younger. Everyone keeps telling us this isn't normal. For some reason we are hearing this phrase constantly. We heard it all summer and now again in the fall. I'm beginning to wonder if they are all trying to trick us :)
Here's a couple of pictures Tony took late Monday morning.
I'm hoping we get a least some sort of fall weather before we jump into full blown winter. Hopefully my wish is coming true. The weatherman says it's supposed to be in the upper fifties the rest of the week. By the way, many of the trees have already turned and lots have lost their leaves. We had a pretty dry September which caused them to turn early. We are in luck though, some are just beginning to get their fall foliage.
