Yes winter did show up.

At the end of my last post I gave mention to the weather. They said that a front was coming through, and boy did it. It started out monday mid 40's and humid with fog in areas. By mid afternoon just as I was finishing cleaning the gutters for the 3rd time this fall, it began to rain with temps in the upper 40's. Just after sunset we started to get some downpours along with thunder and lightning. Crazy stuff for the 5th of december. The lightning was close enough to shake the house real good a few times. Then the wind switched and started to blow and the temp started to drop. By 9:30pm it was 33 and snowing real good. When I got up this morning it was 17 and blowing about 20mph out of the west with gusts up to 30mph or more and about 4 inches of new snow.
So far the deer don't seem to mind a little snow, I guess they really have no choice. They still seem to find the acorns.
They say the temps will be in the teens for the next few days with plenty of wind. I guess it may be time to start doing some indoor projects.
Until next time, be safe.

  1. It looks like we finished the firewood right on time. We got snow here too, but we had a lot of drifting so it's hard to say exactly how much we got but the driveway had maybe 4-5". It was snowing again this morning but it cleared off and now the sun's out!!
