This doesn't seem like news. Spirit river is at 2100 ft above sea level.
Makes me glad to live in an area without snow. Snow just seems depressing, unless one is on holiday.
Snows the best kinda weather! (Other than sunny hot, but not to hot kinda weather...)
You can get days off, snowball fights, make snow men, make snow angels, ski, see cars struggle down the road, watch the community come together to ever help and or play... SNOWS SO FUN!! Just only happens like every 10 years here...

I like snow, and (usually) go skiing often as it's only a little over an hour away. I've also lived in areas where snow is frequent, and enjoy all those aspects of it.` It typically snows (up to about 6 inches) 3-4 times a year, within about 20 minutes drive, so it's not hard to experience it around here.
I just wouldn't want to see snowfall here hough. The native vegetation hasn't evolved with it, and when there was an inch here 3 years ago (first time in 35 years), there was a huge amount of damage done, as trees/bushes just couldn't cope with it.
Snow is a different level of cold as well. Bleak and unforgiving. Quite a different vibe.
Denver's last snow this year was May 11 I think we got about 4" on the grass (nothing on the roads as it was upper 70s the day before). The last time it snowed in September in Denver was 1996, I believe. I fear it will happen this September because it just seems like it's been unusually cool. Although it was 97 a week ago.
Looks like this Friday it may not get out of the 50s.
Wondering if leaves on the trees are causing issues anywhere.
Snow will drop as far south as Wyoming & Colorado in couple days. As soon as the polar air plunges down. Maybe 8-10 inches in the Wyoming Big Horn Mountains then into the WY Plains!
Fascinating but it would come a bit too early for me.
We received an inch in Late October 2003, this is also the earliest date when we can get snow.
Snow in September in Germany might only be likely (apart from the Alps) in the upper parts of Bavaria and maybe also in the highest parts (above 800-900 m or 3000 feet) of the Harz range.
What happens to the trees when they that get harsh frosts like that while the leaves are still green and they've had no time to prepare for the cold?
Those leaves and occasionally young branches die off without going through a fall colour transition and dropping off on their own. In the spring, they rot and fall off and the tree puts out new growth. Overall, there is no major impact but it looks unsightly until late spring. Some species tolerate it, though, and produce normal fall colouration. Usually, it takes a frost of -6 C or lower to kill the branch at this time of year.
