First Snow

A week before Halloween, we got our first dusting of snow.  It was gone as soon as the sun came up.  But it still happened.  A week before last years first snow.  I have already been told that this year is going to be a crazy year for snow.  And just today, I saw an article saying El Nina is going to sweep in and freeze us more than last year!  UGH!  And they have no way to predict how much snow we will get but that it is coming.

Heading into the week, the Weather Channel app said there was a 50% chance of snow for Sunday.  But by Friday, it was no longer saying snow.  The kids were a  little bummed... but it is OCTOBER!  We have plenty of time for snow.

Saturday was a cold one.  We are finally in the single digits for highs.  Usually around 5 or 6.  But the sun is helping quite a bit.  Sunday a bit before lunch, I was in my office doing some things and looked out the window.  ooo.. flurries.  I yelled down to the kids and was rewarded with squeals.  But I figured it would be another dusting like before.  But then it didn't stop.  And the flakes got bigger and bigger.  It was so pretty.  I wanted to throw the Christmas tree up and light a fire.  Oh I miss having a fireplace.  But wait... its not even Halloween.

After all was said and done..... everything was white.

The kids' school has even built in snow days this year.  We didn't have them last year.  So I may not be seeing anything but white til April.  Glad we have a few warm weather holidays planned!!
