Woooohooooooo !!!!!! <BR> <BR>Val Saint-Côme <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2810.jpg" ALT="Sous-Bois"> <BR> <BR>La Réserve <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2811.jpg" ALT="Top"> <BR> <BR>That's not a lot, but it was heavy snowfalling. There was ½ inch on the cold surfaces, after 20 minutes, at Val Saint-Côme. <BR> <BR>The snow passed at La Réserve (1 inch on the cold surfaces) before VSC, but when we left, there was a visible snow cell just over Mt Garceau and it was looking pretty heavy too. Some other cells probably hit the mountains since that time <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> <BR> <BR>Of course, most of the snow melted at la Réserve before we arrived there, except in the woods... and.... of course..... a little bit on <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)"> <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2812.jpg" ALT="LG Power"> <BR> <BR>MORE ON THE WAY !!!!! <BR>THINK SNOW !!!!!
 
I forgot to say something pretty weird of yesterday. <BR> <BR>I measured the vertical of Val Saint-Côme and la Réserve often, this summer, as I went several times since august. It was always at 264 meters for Val Saint-Côme and 249 for La Réserve. Yesterday, I got 273 for Val Saint-Côme and 262 meters for la Réserve. <BR> <BR>I rush to believe this, as it was always 264/249. I wonder if it could be the temperature that can change the vertical, as it was coldy yesterday (in the 30s). A sure thing, next time, I buy a GPS instead of an altimeter !!!! <BR> <BR>So I really wonder what is their true vertical... may be at 0F, Val Saint-Côme will get 300 meters high like they say..... and la Réserve could top the 305 meters at -40 lol !
 
Alright Frank! I got the first snowfall at my house (1400' elev.) yesterday, too. Only a trace, but it's always a day to mark on the calendar.
 
Wow, you're lucky to live at this elevation. <BR> <BR>I live at about 150' above the sea level..., so still no snow here, but it should come soon ! (last year = october 20) <BR> <BR>The top of La Réserve is at 2400' and Val Saint-Côme tops at 2000' so they surely got some good snowfalls on october 3, with the latitude + correct elevation.
 
I live in Ohio and we had some snowflakes I think around 9/26. So there- of course we have no skiing (even in the winter).
 
Wow, late september is really early for the snowflakes !! you're lucky on this point, but I admit that you're a bit less lucky for the terrain ! <BR> <BR>At least, Ohio is better than Nebraska or Kansas, etc !! <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">
