Nice photo! does seem early for snow even for WI. Snow and nasty weather is the reason we retired to CA. Don't want to rub it in but here is a recent photo of the GG Bridge and SF

Beautiful! I'm sure the weather there this time of year is fantastic!
Every place has it's advantages. We get some pretty rough winters and very hot sticky summers but I don't have to worry about hurricanes, earth quakes, wild fires, etc. Sure would love the Cali winters over what we have here. We can be below zero for weeks at a time and then if it's not below zero instead we'll get snow measured in feet per dumping.
Snow is melted now here with temps in the 40s and 50s out through the rest of the month. Still below average but I read November will be warmer than average which I'll like much more.
