First Snow of the Winter

January 12, 2012 — First snow since October fell today. It accumulated to about three inches. There was some mixing with rain. The temperature hovered around 32 degrees all day. It took me all of 30 minutes to shovel out and sweep off the car. No more snow in the forecast for at least a week. I can't believe our good fortune up to now. Last year at this time we were buried.
