Second Snow

We had two snowfalls right after one another. The temperature didn't really go up much above freezing between the two so there was a bit of accumulation. Generally we would not see this much snow until January. It certainly is unusual for the snow to fall this early and still be on the ground a few days later. Not only that but the temperature stayed below freezing all day today, making it feel like February.

I guess it is a good bet that we'll have a white Christmas. The kids will be happy.
