After an
early declaration of fall, I'm also ready to make an early announcement for winter. At least the early fall announcement was merely a few
days early. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on who you are, this winter business is starting more than a
month earlier than the official start on December 21. In case you need some convincing, here are some pictures from our 3 inches of snow on November 1. Oh, and this next week will feature another cold Canadian airmass with highs struggling to get much out of the 30s by late week. Is winter really here or just a strange fall? Only time will tell. Regardless, I'm still plotting on taking some late season fishing trips.
Yep, 3 inches exactly.
The snow was wind driven, sticking to the sides of the trees for a beautiful effect.
This tomato looks like it is wearing a white hat. It just needs eyes and a mouth!
Needless to say, the peppers were a little shocked.
A few hearty trees were still holding on to their green outfits.
There is nothing better than a silent forest after a snow fall.
Fall, meet winter.
This tree had a lot of snow stuck on the windward side.
I found a leaf that had stuck itself into the snow on the deck railing.
