Just a brief mention that today saw the first snowfall of the year, and it’s sticking, an inch so far with a bit more to come. This has come much earlier this year than last year, when we were still seeing daytime temps in the 50’s into mid-December. It’s also unusual in that I saw not a flake of snow until today when it’s sticking. Usually come winter I’d see a number of flurries and brief spats of weather before we got our first real storm – this is the first year I can recall where the first snow of the year was sticking to the ground.
