1st Snow, 1st Frost
On the way home from Duluth yesterday I drove through my first snow of the season. It melted right away and you couldnt call it a snow storm, but it
was snow. They also reported the snow on the news last night.
Woke up this morning to the first hard frost of the season. I didnt want to go to work. The wind was blowin and this fresh frosty surface would have
been a blast to skud around on.
I am so stoked..... No more allergies....and the snow she's a comin'.....

Well, we've broken into lows in the 60s! Highs are comfy mid 90s still. No problem there.

Sun showers followed by heavy thunder activity followed by gully washers with localized flooding. Luckily got all the windows shut before it got
too bad. Good day for paper boats.

So this doesn't replace your big job here but is just a short extra visit? You'll have to be searched before you clear out of here. I know you have
your eye on a few things on the kite shelf!

Huh, we didn't even get frost last night G00f. I was all for the snow coming but now I ordered a set of Powerslides I'm hoping it holds off a little
while longer. Just until I can play with them a little bit. I'll bring them to IL with me so everyone can get a chance to play with them, shoe size
cooperating.
Beamerbob, I see you have the Toxics, nice. Have you had a run on the new Matrixx yet?

@AD72.... nope.... he pulled that one back just before I did.... he still has that one stashed with his Phantoms.....
I was just trying to get a rise out of Bobby....
I am hoping to fill him up with enough Killian's so he will sell me his 18m Phantom when I am in Vegas here soon.....
Maybe I will take him downtown to Numb and get him numb......or at least he would be so distracted by the scenery there he'd sell me the 18m without
realizing what he did.......

@snowspider..... drove through the light snow.... it melted ASAP when it hit the ground...... The next mornings frost would have been killer for some
awesome skudding........
I wouldn't have broken out the skis or snowboard for the frost..... it didn't last long enough...... but ooohhh I could have set some long skud
records..... it was slick......
It was just a teaser..... temps back up and no frost this AM......
