freezing cold

brrr.. it's snowing in october! i thought it was just raining when we headed out. while walking to the car to put sam's guitar & guitar pedals (oops, duno what's that actually but it's a little like a synthesizer) as well as a bass guitar, i looked and commented to george that it looks like it's snowing! after some more observations, we noticed white stuff on the road! what's up with the weather? will we have an extremely long winter ahead????? sads.
