I'm actually surprised this is a record. I know it's very early, but I would've guessed that Boston had seen more snow in an October than this.

Somehow I missed that pic. It's beautiful!!!

Obligatory feel good Friday post...

We got sleet balls and a LIGHT dusting of snow the other day. I had hoped we'd get more. You got enough to make it look pretty!!!

Last Monday at my condo in CO, they had between 30 and 36 inches of snow! One of the residents posted a picture from his from door & used a yard stick to show the depth. The restaurant in town, The Dog Bar & Grill, posted a photo of a bear walking on the top of the balcony railing on their deck - broad daylight - and about 24 inches of snow on the deck. My sister forwarded the picture to me! I've eaten lunch at the table the bear was above!! LOL

Nice that you didn't have to shovel the snow. That's one activity I don't think I'll try!

BTW - your avatar is downright spooky!!!!
Happy Halloween!!!

Stay safe and glad she is with you know

So precious!!!

I love the snow on the pumpkins!!! That happens around here a lot

We only got about 6-7" around here but up by the fires they got about 2 feet

30-36" for Southern CO is a lot at any time of year

October is really early for us to see any snow at all, but Boston specifically tends to get less than other areas of MA with these smaller storms. Boston ended up with at least 4 inches from this, which is pretty healthy for them lol. I'm not sure what our total ended up being, but I'd guess the same or maybe even a little more.

Meanwhile inside the house we're still trying to stay with the Halloween spirit. We're attempting to make mini pumpkin cakes. Similar to the below video, but we don't have mini bundt pans so we have to improvise with cupcake pans.

Oh wow, that bear would've been quite a sight to see! That's a TON of snow. Here I am all shocked by our 4 inches lmao.



Take good care granny. Always have you and yours in my prayers. Happy Halloween to you all!

I think it's been about 10 years since I last remember getting snow in October :)

Never gets old, love that guy

SOMETHING FLARE-Y THIS WAY COMES: The biggest sunspots of new Solar Cycle 25 appeared this week (AR2778 and AR2779). They're about to have company. Two more active regions are poised to rotate over the sun's eastern limb, circled in this Oct. 30th image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory:

What we're seeing here are plasma-filled magnetic arches of the type that often tower over sunspot groups. The sunspots themselves--if they exist--are still hidden behind the edge of the sun. Solar rotation will bring them into view this weekend. Amateur astronomers with safely-filtered telescopes are encouraged to monitor developments.

What the heck, I can't believe you have already seen sleet and snow!

Wasn't a bear spotted at or very close to your condo once before? On the deck or something?

I've played it on the tv like 4 times today lol. Extra loud of course.

Yes, just off my sister's deck at the condo. Bears are very much a frequent sight in this area. I'll see if I can locate the photo from the restaurant...

I love how they cut that bundt cake to make it into a pumpkin. Genius! It seems it should be obvious looking at it now.

I'm doing a bloody mary horror movie-fest with 3 friends tomorrow. One of whom has a really nice home theater in his basement with big comfy chairs, etc. Starting by noon and going all day. We'll see how many movies I have the patience for. I'm not a huge move watcher to begin with, and I don't think I've ever in my life watched more than 2 in a day. In as much as I like scary movies, I'm looking forward to hanging w/my pals. And having a good bloody mary, which I haven't had in years for some reason. I'm bringing some locally distilled horseradish vodka for the occasion.

Fun fact: Not far across the river from me, Collinsville, Illinois is the horseradish capital of the world (and where my vodka came from). Here's an article about it. You'll be surprised how interesting an article about horseradish can be, lol
