Snow!!!

Based on looking at last years blogs, the first snow was back on October 22nd (although the first accumulation was on the 23rd). As you can see, there isn't a whole bunch on the ground right now, and I don't expect a whole bunch.

(Hmmm...Accuweather.com disagrees with me. Their forecast for today: "Cloudy and cold with a little snow and rain, accumulating a coating to an inch." Tonight: "Considerable cloudiness and cold with snow much of the time, accumulating 3-6 inches." Perhaps we'll see who was right with a picture tomorrow.)

And speaking of pictures, this is the closest one I've gotten of one of my favorite birds, a Downy Woodpecker. I probably like the Hairy Woodpecker (pretty much the same bird but larger) slightly more...but I think you can still see why I enjoy seeing them so much.

It would be a better image...but generally the only way to get critter-photos is through window glass (as this one was).

If you click on either thumbnail you'll get a larger version.
