Whats all the fuss, around here it arrives in October & if we are lucky it might be gone in April. Then again we once had a 3 foot fall in June, I have the pictures, I think it was June of 1986, in fact I have seen it snow in all 12 months of the year. Mick B. PS =This year we have had very little though, we have sent most of it over to you folks.
