Against the street light on 21st street, I saw flakes of either snow or frost falling out of the air this morning at between 6:36 and 6:45, (when I took Maggie,my dog, out for nature's call). I also can not believe how dark it is at that time. Yes, winter has snuck upon us, and I am not prepared for it. Maybe I should buy a house down on the Gulf so summer can linger a couple more months.
Steve I agree with the one poster, seeing "Flakes" near City Hall is like saying you saw money in a bank. I am more pessimistic than Robinson. I will go with November 21. A full three weeks after the date of the great Halloween Blizzard. How about the date of the first declared snow emergency? For that I will go with December 3. I will also go with April 6th 2003 for Ice Out.
