    Hey hey hey. Jersey snow falls white. It just turns black over time. Its like a big air filter. I always breath easier a day or so after we get a foot of the white stuff.

    Got to learn about that the hard way when the Army decided my first duty station would be Fort Drum. Never saw so much snow in all my life.

    Generally.

    I was in Denver in October, sometime last decade or so, and it was a storm that started dry and fluffy and turned out to be wet, heavy and nasty.
    It left 10 foot drifts up the side of my mobile home, and snowed me in for days.

    Can't compare apples to oranges, wet to dry, or east to west.


    Each storm you encounter will be different. It matters not what part of the country you are in.

    You take it for what it is, and act accordingly.

    You must not get up to Flagstaff very often. Try picking up at purina in a snow storm, the hostler had to salt the driveway before we could get in the parking lot. Sure is pretty though.
