We’ve got snow! It’s enough to make us New Yorkers say, “Hmm”; but snow in October is not that unusual in these parts.
Nonetheless, the first snowfall of the season does wonders for our motivation. I still have leaf piles all over the lawn, and I stiil haven’t sewn the drapes for the doorways, and… !
When I lived near Oneida Lake, I remember as a kid we had a huge snowstorm (2 feet) one October 31st. Halloween was cancelled that night. 
So now we have snow. The kids say they also heard thunder rumbling. We are keeping an eye on our basement sump pump well, as the snow was preceeded by a tremendous amount of rain. So far, so good– all dry!

That sure looks pretty, but Mom’s still glad we don’t get too much of that stuff!

It is very pretty, Lux. But it is also very expensive! My furnace has been chugging along all day!

I love the snow photo. I know what you mean though about having those heating costs. It is definitely winter here already too, without the snow
