3. Unusual to have such a storm this early in the season
Hope it dumps enough to blanket the winter wheat because it's going to get down into the single digits. Fahrenheit.

10. ON Christmas Morning
in 2004. That's like a one in a billion chance.

Of course, Hurricane Katrina rolled through the following August. That was like a one in a billion chance, too.

Hmmmmmm....maybe all this snow isn't so good after all....
