I love the snowfall up here

Right now we're getting our first real snow of the year, we had an attempt at one the week before last, but it was too warm and stood no chance of persisting. This one should be good for at least three days, depending on the crap shoot of weather prognostication.

But what I really love about snow falling is the hush it brings. There's no wind, no rain, just these white puffs falling outside my window.

And it's a good week before I will be buying a snow thrower. I screwed up my chest back in February from snow shoveling and can't afford to do that again. I'm hoping it'll arrive just after Thanksgiving, then I'll have to figure out when I can put it together and how I'll be storing it.

It's going to be an interesting winter.
