We received a winter warning this weekend. "Heads-Up", Snow has made an entrance!
And it's early, even for Ontario. I generally keep records of first snowfalls each year and on average they land about a month from now.
Yesterday, Sheldon and I took a trip to Peterborough to visit friends for the day. Our first stop was the market.
The air was cold, sharp and bitter but that lead-grey sky was the real give-away.
We checked out that engineering wonder known as the lift loch. Built is 1904 and still going strong!
By 3:00 there were snow flakes floating around. Like most Ontarians, we don't have winter tires on yet so we headed home to beat the snow. By the time we arrived and slid (and I mean slid) into the driveway, the yard was well covered in white fluff.
There's no getting around it, First Snow's are stunning.
What a change from last weekend!
I have lots of leaves still to rake, but for now it will have to wait until things dry out a bit.
We all know this stuff won't stick around. Even as I type this up, most of the snow has melted away. But like the Terminator, It will be Back...this is just a winter warning.
