The First Snow of the Year



Winter in Wisconsin can be brutal. By February, I'm SO ready for Spring. But the first snow of the year -- which happened to fall today -- is always a magical sort of day. I took this picture from my front door. As you can see, the first snow of the year is typically not too significant; it's more of a teaser of what's to come. Since the temperature is on its way down, the ground and everything is too warm to really let the snow accumulate. But it stays for at least a few hours, reminding us that Winter is on its way. It always makes me do Winter-y things like bake and drink cocoa and buy Christmas presents online (all of which I actually did today). :) So long, Fall! See you next year!
