First snowfall this year

So the weathermen and women predicted just a dusting of snow yesterday. Not even worth mentioning it will be so insignificant, they all said. Just a few flurries throughout the day, they kept repeating. Well here are some pictures of our flurries

Started off innocent enough

Then started coming down a little harder. And you started to think... hmmmm, this sure seems more then flurries to me...

Even the squirrls were starting to question the weather prediction at this point

As the day progressed, the flurries continued

and continued...

and continued....

Almost time for bed and yet it is still flurring out and now the winds are picking up

This morning... The winds died down and the 8 inches of flurries finally stopped
