Yeah, global warming means both hotter summers and colder winters -- it really means more extreme weather, not just warm.
Snow yet? No. We almost never have snow in October... I heard a few weeks ago that much of far Northern Maine got snow, but here on the coast we haven't gotten anything. We usually don't until at least mid to late November... then it melts in mid December and comes back after Christmas. Or at least it seems that way, too often... but in mid December for some reason it does often seem to melt. Then of course it snows again and we don't see the ground for months. :)
It was a surprisingly warm 50-something degrees today, but that won't last. It'll go back into the mid to low 40's soon again.
