I know the seasons are a bit screwy out here, but this is ridiculous. Three days ago, Alex was celebrating the arrival of fall, and I was certainly enjoying the scenery while fishing up in Keystone yeterday [1]. Checking the forecast in the weather module of my GNOME desktop today, however, I got this:
TONIGHT
SNOW WITH POSSIBLE RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
EVENING
THEN SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT. COLDER. SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 4
TO 8 INCHES. LOWS IN THE LOWER 30S. NORTH WINDS 10 TO 20 MPH.COLUMBUS DAY
SNOW. MUCH COLDER. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO
12 INCHES. HIGHS IN HE MID 30S. NORTHWEST WINDS 10 TO 15 MPH IN
THE MORNING BECOMING LIGHT.MONDAY NIGHT
CLOUDY WITH SNOW LIKELY. LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.
LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S. CHANCE OF SNOW 60 PERCENT.
I’m no meteorologist, but that has to be the shortest fall ever.
[1] Note to self: fishing with dogs is less than ideal.
