Arrived back home last night just as the first real snowfall of the year was beginning. Slow, heavy, and wet, it soon blanketed everything, and weighed down trees, bushes and power lines. The electricity went out between midnight and 2.00 am. In the morning, we woke up to a couple inches of snow cover, which was rapidly freezing. Made for bad road conditions; A.'s clinic still had no power this morning and so was shut for the day.
It's unlikely to last, however. Tomorrow's forecast calls for heavy rain and temperatures well above freezing, so most of it should disappear. A sharp little reminder to finish the last of the yard work and put the garden to sleep for the winter. I bought those new boots in Montreal not a moment too soon, it seems!
