And then? It snowed.

I'm a bit behind in posting the video I took of snowtober.

Little did I know when I took this video that there would be many downed limbs in the backyard and that the house would be without power for three days.  Thankfully, the natural gas furnace, water heater and stove all remained working.  I'm so thankful I was not one of the folks who had no heat or hot water.  I'm also thankful the power came back when it did.  Many went without for a week or more.  No thanks.  I can do a lot of "pioneer women" type things.  Surviving in the dark of night is not one of them.

Enjoy our first snowfall in CT!

ETA: just kidding.  I can't get the video to load.  Imagine big thick flakes, 32 degrees on the thermometer.  And all the leaves on the trees were still green.  Snowtober.  I'd rather not meet you again.
