Winter Isn't Coming...

[stoutfellow]

... it's here. The first significant snowfall of the season is coming down now. It's been varying quite a bit; within the last half hour I've seen fat flakes drifting down lazily (if heavily) and fine snow coming down at a sharp angle. Right now, it's coming off my roof in what looks like sleet; when I opened the porch door for Gracie to go out just now, she took two steps, turned around, and hurried back in. They're forecasting 2-4 inches before things taper down tonight.

I was going to go grocery shopping today, but that's not happening. Tomorrow should be clear, if cold (forecast high 20F), and I'll make the run then. I've got enough staples to last.

Heh. We had snow before you did! Back just before Christmas. Granted, ours didn't stick...

Ours didn't either. Almost as soon as I posted, the forecast went down to less than 1"; it's snowing lightly now, but there's no visible accumulation. Sigh.
