Yes, we actually got some snowflakes on Sunday and Monday. Nothing to actually "see" on the ground, but they did fall from the sky... and on the week of Thanksgiving. It provides hope that summer is finally, officially over. Perhaps we'll have some colder weather before winter sets in!
Having been up in Vermont recently, I like to check the newspaper in Stowe, and saw this past weekend that the road that snakes over the mountain at Smuggler's Notch has been closed for the winter because of snow and ice -- impassable! Yes, it happens every winter, but it was cool to see the photo they published and to think of snuggling in at a cabin for the winter.
A nice fantasy, but not very realistic.
Still, it's fun to dream.
