What a crazy Saturday we had in Pennsylvania! Snow in October is not something that happens too often. Did you like seeing it? Did you get to play in it? Did you lose electricity or any trees? Tell us how this very unusual weather event affected you.

  2. This weekend's weather was NOT a welcome surprise...for a grown up anyways. I actually left town in the morning while it was still raining and only saw wet snow that did not accumulate where I went, Washington DC. Therefore, I dodged the weather. However, at my house all was well because my parents and kids were not without electricity or heat. We also did not lose Internet service, which so many of my students did. My kids liked playing out in the snow and didn't mind having Sunday School canceled the next day. When I got home, most of the snow had already melted. My husband had to pull a fallen branch off a tree and cut it down. Not bad for a snowstorm!

  4. I think it was very unusual. what I did was I went sledding on the hill in my neighborhood. y favorite part was when I pushed my little sister Delaney down the hill and she landed in mud.I laughed hard. After that I helped my friends shovel snow off there driveway. I was super cold after my time playing so I went inside my house to relax. I had hot chocolate. On Halloween I went trick or treating with my friend Vivenne and saw some of my friends. I loved the snow. It made me have a good time.

  6. I was surprised when my mom told me that there was going to be snow. I was staying at a hotel when all the snow started I did not pack the right shoes so my shoes were soaking wet every time that I went outside. I felt really bad for my grandparents they went without power AND water for around 2 days. This was the first time that I have ever experienced snow in October and it was AWESOME my sister and my cousins and I all had a snowball fight it was soooooooo much fun. Trick or treating was really fun too. My friends and I and my sister all had a lot of fun trying to doge the puddles and snow blocks and we would make snowballs and throw them at each other and eat the snowballs and throw them at our mom. The first snow storm of the year was exiting and fun!!!!!!

  38. This weekend there was a snowstorm on October 29th 2011. At my house there were a lot of branches that fell off my trees. I had a tree that lost most of it's branches because it didn't loose it's leaves and it gives it a lot of presser to the branches. I lost electricity three times but those three times it only went out for ten seconds. I thought not bad for a snowstorm especially in October which it usually doesn't snow in.

My family had three medium branches and three in the backyard but one of them in the back yard took up most of the backyard my dad said man this will be a lot more chopping.We had power all weekend it went out three times but came on in one second later.My dad and I both have a Xbox so and the internet was down so we couldn't connect to Xbox live.
