The first snow of the season is always exciting, and today it has come.

I slept in rather late and when I awoke, I noticed it was dark outside, which reminded me there was a chance or rain or snow today. So, I looked more carefully outside and saw that it was precipitating! And I looked toward the ground, and found it covered in white. It was snowing!

Where I live, around 6,000 feet, we got about an inch of snow. Sort of nice. But am I ready for winter yet?
