Kev, the point is, the growing season is over in 95% of SNE. Nothing fake about that. No badge of honor, just a fact that it’s frosted.
You have to let us know how you got 3.5” in a marginal snow event, in the early season, due to your elevation. That will melt away by afternoon. While we got a sloppy half inch to maybe an inch. Is that a badge of honor for you? I’ll say no, but it is what it is. Is that fake snow cuz only you/some folks, at a certain elevation got snow?
You can’t buy a frost in October/early November, while the majority of the area has had 3-4. Just different microclimates. That’s all. But don’t try and lump in the majority of SNE into the NO frost category, because you haven’t had one.
