Seven of the lower 48 states are expecting snow this week, about a month early on average.

Boo. I'm getting ready for my fall trek from Alaska to California and I'm hoping for some nice fall weather. Especially after having to drive up here last January in the dead of winter. We've had a few really nice Indian Summer days here in Anchorage of late.

We just had a week or two of 'Indian Summer', probably our warmest, most humid days this year though we have not had a 90 degree day yet. Before that most of August was like fall. Of course everyone likes fall weather but I suspect it was a warning of a cold winter, maybe like last year. This morning it dropped to the low 70s.

Ho-Hum..... Riverside, CA, 89 with some cloud cover. Still have to wear shorts and a t-shirt I guess. But, now that the temp dropped a bit, I don't need to parade around in my Speedo and scare all the neighbors.....

Pump some of that cool air down here to Oklahoma; I'm tired of the 90s. Actually whatever you are doing seems to be working because the weatherman says it will be in the upper 60s Friday and 70* Saturday. Woohoo, great camping weather.

Mike, down right balmy in OK.
For those in Banff on Wednesday a high of 36F and a low of 8F. It's just the 8th of September.

No worries - stay away from the Rockies on your way down and you will be fine - still flip flop, shorts and sun screen weather here in the Lower Mainland of BC.

Snow finally stopped falling in Calgary, blue sky today but over the past 3 days we received 30cm or 12" of snow. Many streets look like disaster areas as thousands of trees have broken branches and 30 thousand lost power.
On to happy thoughts, taking the Boler camping today, a little snow does not stop us.

I live in a neighborhood with mature elem trees. It looks like a disaster area. Our tree was unscathed though.

Calgary made the New Hampshire TV news yesterday, as unusual as your snow.

LOL snow in Calgary in the summer isn't really all that unusual - LOL as I recall it it has snowed during Stampede week in July before I think the amount it snowed is what is most unusual and what makes the story.

Calgary Snowfall perspective
"Shocking as the snow was to many, it wasn't the city's earliest late-summer snowfall. Calgary recorded 11.7 centimeters (just under 5 inches) of snow on Sept. 8 in 1921, according to Environment Canada statistics.
The earliest single-day snowfall of 10 centimeters (4 inches) or more there was on Sept. 6, 1972, but Calgary had a two-day total of 10.4 centimeters on Aug. 25-26, 1900.
It even snowed in Calgary once in July, when 0.3 centimeter (0.1 inch) fell on July 23, 1918.
Calgary's three-day total of 28.2 centimeters (about 11.1 inches) is on par with average snowfall for September, October and November, combined (31 centimeters), according to Environment Canada. "
On another weather note AZ received a year's worth of precipitation over about a weeks period, to me that means blooming desert flowers.

That would be Mr. Gore's "Global Warming". Opps, I guess "they" are calling it "Climate Change" these days. I suppose the weather or anybody else can make up their mind.

I have been told, (no source) that it has snowed in every month in Calgary. Not in the same year mind you.

Climate change is an interesting move from Global Warming. Weather (pun) it flood or drought it's a climate 'change'. That's called a no lose position or the politician's choice.
1816 was a year with out a summer, also called the Poverty Year, caused by low solar activity, the end of the Little Ice Age and a volcanic eruption.
