Second snow, 2009

Tue, Dec 01, 2009 6 Comments

Around 8 am, just getting light, and it's the second snow that's sticking around for a while.

First snow, 2009

Here it is, in the dim, chilly, gray 7:30 am light: the first snow to stick this fall.

But this first … [Read more...] about First snow, 2009
