The First Snow of the Season

I had heard all day that there was going to be a chance of snow, and kept looking out the window for it. Of course, I didn't see anything.

Until shortly after 11 last night.

I saw one flake slowly fall to the ground. And then another. And another.

By the time I went to bed, half an hour later, it was snowing steadily, but not too heavily.

I awoke to the sounds of shovels on the sidewalk.

We got about an inch or two. It really looks very pretty outside.

Of course, I left my ice scraper in the trunk of the car, and I'm leaving for church services soon.

The calendar may not officially say so, but winter is here.
