    Change of seasons

    Well, we have snow here.


    Our back deck just after 7:00 am today.

    Nice

    I know the grass is always snowier on the other side but I do miss winter. Nice shot of the rose.

    A bit of snow & clear air, would be a blessing. We've been getting to the low 40's near sunrise. Sadly, the air is grey brown from the fire that leveled Paradise California....about 250-ish miles away. The air quality was classified as unhealthy, within a half hour of sunrise.

    We got our first real taste here last night as well, Father. Two inches on the driveway (St. Paul, MN) this morning. Guess it's time to take the shovels down from the garage attic.

    While the city I live in, is in Canada, the Victoria City Council voted to make it illegal for it to snow within the city limits.

    This came as a result of them finding out that while the city does have one snow plow, the guy who knows how to run it, winter's over in Florida.

    I neglected to add, this winter will be our first with a chance of snow. Silicon Valley has seen snow, three times in my life. Here, then gone. Our recent move puts us into the 'Yes it will snow (a bit), & the highway down the hill will close' zone. Amazing what a 25 mile & 1700ft elevation change can offer.
