Wow looked at the weather channel, I looked up New Sweden cause my husband grew up there and I like to just see what their weather is compared to ours. And it says possible snow on Saturday night. I always thought he was joking when he said there was snow by halloween.. I guess I believe him now!!
Don't know what weather site you look at, but all of them here (Washburn/Stockholm/New Sweden) are calling for an overnight low of 34 and partly cloudy on Saturday. With both Friday and Saturday being 50 and mostly sunny. Doesn't look like snow weather to me. That comes from the NOAA site and also AccuWeather, both of which are closer to what we get than the Weather Channel ever is.
Now snow in the air, and maybe a skiff on the ground overnight, maybe by Halloween, but if it is on the ground in the morning, it is GONE by lunch 99% of the time. Snow on the ground is a rarity on Halloween, even here in the North Country. New Sweden is 10 miles as the crow flies from my driveway (I refuse to call it a door yard, thank you!)

thank you thank you thank you Byand for saying THAT!!....thought we were going to go through this AGAIN!!!! only about the 6th time since I joined.....
Maybe this will keep us all from getting our panties in a bunch! Although I was about to get very jealous of those who may see their first snow this weekend while we're down here dripping in the humidity at 90 degrees still.
And what the hell is a dooryard? I've seen that word several times and keep forgetting to ask.
Just a guess, from someone from "away" but ... guessing from the protocols here in OUR downeast, it would be "the most frequently used door" which would likely be the BACK door, since the front door is only used by .. humm... strangers? salesmen? formal callers?
I just committed a bit of faux pas today by going to the front door of a client -- who apparently calls me "friend" -- and who laughed as she came out the back not quite quickly enough to catch me from having climbed the stairs to her second-story front door. Friends and neighbors go to the back, they did in many rural places I have lived and I am suspecting it is similar in ME. Am I right, folks?
