The first snow fall of the winter...

Today there is new fallen snow, the first of the winter.  Not the first of the year, considering that we did have snow on October 30 and took the kids trick-or-treating with it still blanketing the ground.  Of course, that time of year, it quickly melted and we were back to on and off mild weather since.  Today, at 4 am it began.  Pretty, and pretty messy considering that there is a lot of slushy snow associated with it.  Our forecast is to get rain later, so this being the first snow may not last very long either.
