Snow!!!

November 6. First snowfall of the season.

I'm not really sure snowFALL is the right word, though. It's more like snowblow? It's blowing snow is what it really is.

Whatever we call it, it's white stuff, falling from the sky in cold temperatures with howling winds! EEK! Makes me want to make hot cocoa... mmmmm....

I was surprised to see that it was 39 degrees out, and snowing. I guess I always thought it had to be freezing to snow. I guess I guessed wrong.

I was also a little surprised to not see any birds feeding this morning. I don't think it was the temperature, because they've fed when it was colder. Maybe it was the fierce wind? Maybe they knew to stay in their cozy nests today?

So, it's in the books. The first snowfall. Not measurable, but clearly snow. Falling. Or blowing.

Winter's here.
