Got about 2 1/2 or 3" here. Everything's covered, the ground, the trees, the bushes... everything. The next door neighbor is blowing snow from his driveway.

I'm glad it happened on a holiday, so most everyone can enjoy it.

The next door neighbor's daughter, Lexi (4), is filling up her wagon with snow and pulling it across the yard to help dad clear the driveway. Very cute.

First time this fall that I've need something just a little warmer than a t-shirt to go outside. It's dropping down to 47 tonight and back up to 71 tomorrow.

Well, the snow started just after noon Friday in this part of the Northwoods, earlier just a bit farther N/NW and in the U.P. Wet, heavy stuff that continued steadily until sometime last night. Somewhere around 6 inches total after compacting from its own weight -- if it had been really cold, this would have easily been over a foot of snow. But cold temps and drier air overnight sucked some of the moisture out of it, so I was glad I waited until this morning to fire up the snowblower. Now the sun is out, helping melt the remnants off pavement and cars, and I'm feeling just how out of shape I got over this semester. All the conditioning of my summer of gardening is gone, and winter arrived with a solid punch that I can feel.

Thought of you when I heard the wearther report for your area. Too bad it's not good shoeing or skiing snow.

23 degrees here and just a skiff of snow. not much wind so it's not too bad. Feed the horses w/ no coat (course was only out there about 5 minutes or so) These aren't my horses; was just getting rid of some old bread and had to wait for them to come to the fence.

ChicagoMark,

With the cold temps overnight, it's gotten all icy and crusty. Not good for anything more than groundcover (which the gardens needed, so that's cool). More thaw/freeze/thaw/freeze for the next couple days, then possibility of more snow. Makes for careful walking on pavement as black ice forms as soon as the sun starts to dip.

methinks it is Ewker who has been drinking since he obviously got up very late and missed the snow this morning, and of course in his old age his eyesight is failing so he didn't see that it was I who posted that it was snowing and not embear.
