First Snowstorm of the Winter!

Yesterday our first major snowfall of the winter arrived, covering the roads... and the garbage that had been put out for pickup.

Overnight our almost-bare ground turned into a "marshmallow world"... in the words of an old song!  

How many snowstorms on average do we get in a winter? I ask Terry.

Four or five, he replies.














Well, that's one down! Hopefully, if snow arrives early, it will leave early, too.

(Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out like that!)














Snow is actually pretty amazing - the way it clings to bare branches!














If we could just sit indoors and admire it, it would be quite lovely... But now the hard work begins!
