So right now in Carson City and the Carson Valley it's snowing. On the valley floor. I knew there was a bit of a chill in the air, but I didn't see this one coming. Not that it's sticking to the ground or anything, but there's a long night ahead of us, and it's only going to get colder. I can't wait to peek out the window in the morning.

So is this a sign of a wet and wild winter to come? Or is it going to blow itself out early and we'll be dry the rest of the year? I still think we haven't seen the last of summer yet. It always gets sweltering hot that second week of October. Not that I wouldn't like to be proven wrong.
