Not quite that early as a rule, but we did have a couple feet in early Sep back in 94. Usually though it's Mid October. Bad part is it doesn't melt until April. I have a really nice shop to work in, but I'm not sure that I can afford to heat it this winter @ $5.00 a gallon heating oil.
Yeah, I hear you . It's going to be really rough on a lot of people this winter if the fuel prices don't drop. My heating costs will go up in two years when the caps come off of the electric prices ( all electric house). Can't wait. I might have to move to Florida to avoid the shock. Unfortunately, down there killer is homeowners insurance with some people paying over $6k a year for just a modest house.

I guess every place has it's good points and it's bad. Some have mudslides and forest fires, others have twisters, and blizzards and what have you.
