First Snow at the House...

We have had a couple of snows up high in the mountains this fall, but we finally got our first snow here at the house. For October, this one was pretty impressive.

I took this photo on Saturday evening as I was BBQ'ing some ribs, but these 'snow' clouds were the first evidence that we were going to get pounded.


It was a heavy snow, falling all night from about 2am to noon on Sunday. Notice how the trees are sagging.


Yep...that is 5" of snow in the front yard. I tried to measure a place where it seemed the most level, but we did have a 2' drift next to the house.
