Poll: When is the Earliest Snowfall You Remember?

The Chatham Borough Farmers Market closed early Saturday due to the heavy snow and light crowds, and the leaves are not even off the trees yet.

The first major snowstorm in 2010 did not occur until after Christmas. This year, winter seems to be getting a head start.

According to Chatham Borough Mayor Nelson Vaughan, 11 plows and salt trucks are out around town.

One electrical wire is "sagging" on Hedges Avenue and could potentially come down, according to Vaughan, and JCP&L is on the way.

Judy-Ann Hargrove reported a power outage at Hillside Avenue near Yale Street.

Township DPW Director John Pacelli said there is between 3 to 4 inches of snow so far, and another possible 5 to 8 Saturday evening. Salting trucks are deployed, and "as soon as it gets deep enough, we will start plowing it off the streets."

Which got us wondering: How early does the snow usually start to fall? Is late October an anomaly? Is a late December tardy? Respond to our poll, and tell us more in the comments.
