Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

Yep, a couple days ago, we received our first snowfall. All that fell that day quickly melted away when it hit the warm earth. However, it's been snowing pretty much ever since and is now accumulating nicely. The first snow always brings about a final resignation that we're about to face another 5-6 month cold spell. Before then, I am in complete denial. It also serves as a wake-up call to get our the winter clothes to see what we lack for the season. This year brings another costly reality as well. Now that we have a car, we're going to have to go out and buy studded snow tires, rubber floor mats and ice scrapers and snow brushes. At least I don't have to shovel snow. It also means the house is quieter because the kids are outside more. Peace is good.

Anyone for a visit now?
