A little bit of rain and a little over a foot of snow and a lot of wind occurred this week.  The first snow of the season is not going to melt away so fast.  Snow was very slow to melt indoors for the outer gage.  Extremely windy on the 28th.  The 29th  Snow Blower and Shoveling required, Furnace on.  Still have some leaves on one tree that do not usually drop off until December.  Looking ahead-cold temps and more snow for the first week of December.  Stay warm and be shovel snow blower aware, do not forget to take breaks often while doing snow removal.
