Now, this is something new

Aside from ski trips back in the 1980s, it's been almost thirty years since we woke up to see a fresh blanket of snow outside - the adjustment to the new neighborhood continues.
The snowplows were busy early in the morning and some drivers apparently just had to get to work, causing a handful of accidents on local roads. Unfortunately for the school crowd, no classes were scheduled due to the holiday break. One of the best parts about a childhood on the East Coast was waiting around for school closures to be announced on the radio.
It looks as though we got three or four inches but it's already melting away. At this elevation (3,500 feet) it usually only snows a few times a year and it usually only lasts a few days - just enough to keep things interesting without becoming a real bother.
There are still piles of leaves that haven't been raked up and bagged - they'll probably still be there after the snow melts.
