We had our first snow of the season yesterday. You can see it here out our back patio door (the pic was taken around 5:30 pm). Some reportedly saw flurries a couple weeks ago but this is the first I'd seen, and the first to accumulate.
It's kind of funny how things work. When I was a kid I don't really remember whether I liked snow or not. I don't remember a lot of things about being a kid. I grew to NOT like snow once I could drive though. Living in a rural area, and not being one to have a 4-wheel drive truck or snowmobile, slick roads were a major nuisance as far as I was concerned.
Now, though, I kind of don't mind snow so much. I was actually sort of excited yesterday with anticipation. I don't know if it's because we live in a city now and there is little we don't have access to even in bad weather, or if I just don't worry about things as much as I used to. I don't know.
I am a little surprised at all the people wondering if I made it into work alright this morning. I mean, we got maybe 3" of snow! Come on, people... this is the Midwest! That's nothing!
Anyway, it snowed. And it's supposed to get bitter cold now. I think the high today is supposed to be 24f, and it's supposed to get into single digits tonight (6 degrees f). Burrr... it seems a little early for that.
Now the big decision is... do I put the lawn mower away and get out the snow blower, or do I wait a little longer? Hmmm.
