I'm dreaming of a white... Halloween?

In my lifetime, it snows at a rate of about once every ten years or so. And it doesn't stick around either. I'm not crazy about snow, so I love it. I'm in Charleston, SC.
Edit: I could be moving to Boulder, CO for a year. That would be a much different climate.

Wel... Where does the Vallee du Richelieu actuially fall? I usually just say South Shore of Montreal to make things simpler. Because when I name the town I live, people either go "Huh?", or they simply remember the fire in 1988 that burned a warehouse full of PCB.Celtic_Kerr said:
You're on the actual south shore. People in Chateauguay and Mercier and Maplegrove call themselves south shore, but for some reason it's longeuil, Saint Julie, saint Bruno that is the real south shore.Dublin Solo said:

I live five hours from Bergen, but we also get A LOOOOOT of rain, almost as much as Bergen. But we did indeed get a lot of snow, there haven't been as much snow where I lived since 1930-something.Jonluw said:
Also, I live in Måløy, which is in Sogn og Fjordane xD
It's been in the 50-60 degree range and I've still been wearing shorts and sandals (not every day but enough). I don't think it'll snow here until around Thanksgiving though. Although the weather here is very hard to predict; we've have blizzards as late as April 1st, and sometimes barely any snow throughout the entire winter.
Usually get the first snow around late November, early December. We usually don't get that much though. It isn't until late Dec, early Jan that we start to get a decent amount of it.
I live in Florida, it never snows. It rarely even gets cools around Halloween either, so wearing a costume is a death sentence if you do it too long.
On a slightly tangental note: Why can't we have more winter themed horror movies? Not bullshit like "Black Christmas" or "Dead Snow," but more like what The Shining touched on- i.e. even the environment is scary because if you spend enough time in it, you'll die a horrible death, and you can't see ten feet in front of your face at night. That would be a truly white Halloween.

Snow has fallen at various times here, being equal parts Canada, clamped in by lakes and the lakes are clamped in by America. I can recall times of my youth where we had to be bundles up in winter coats because we were trudging through snow on Halloween, and other times where we could go out in a t-shirt and break a sweat. Right now we're sitting at 14 Celsius which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Taking out the various extremes however, we generally get a few dustings in November and then a lasting snowfall somewhere in December. Though, in recent years the lasting snow hasn't come until January but they bring big snowfalls in February. We haven't had snow on Christmas, now that I think about it, for a couple years now. About five or six years back we were up to around 8 Celsius between christmas and lasted until the middle of January. For comparison that is usually the temperature for early spring. This past spring was the first that I can remember we didn't have a big blizzard on the first day of spring.
I wish it would snow more, however. I really like the snow. My problem is when we get a snowfall, then it melts during the day and refreezes at night. Then we get lots and lots of ice, which is a literal pain in the ass.

There's a fair bit of ground frost here (Brecon beacons, UK) and you can see small puddles just starting to ice over in the early morning, but by midday its business as usual like the rest of the UK.
You surprise me, given Wales is more southerly than Scotland. What's it like in the mountains?El Poncho said:We're lucky to get any snow here in Scotland. It usually snows around Jan/Feb and if we're lucky December
Yet we've still got A LOT of rain.Jonluw said:
I'm talking Bergen-rain.
DEAD SNOW IS FUCKING EPIC AND IF YOU DON'T ADMIT IT, I'LL HAVE TO SLAP YOUProf. Monkeypox said:
Years ago, here in Vermont, there was the first few tentative dustings as early as September. Last few years, its been more like November, with no proper snow that sticks around until nearly Christmas. This year, we just barely got a good frost. Hell, this September, it was in the 90's when I normally start looking for snow.

Take it do you live in the south of Scotland then? Cos up North we get plenty of snow, although usually at a nice level where its just enough to be an annoyance when driving but not enough to warrant not going to work/uni over it (would say schools too, but who am I kidding, with exception to the ones I used attend it seemed like the entire education system shuts down over a couple of inches).El Poncho said:Very cold and I think I can hear rain right nowRandomologist said:There's a fair bit of ground frost here (Brecon beacons, UK) and you can see small puddles just starting to ice over in the early morning, but by midday its business as usual like the rest of the UK.
