We're being nailed with our first real snow of the winter this morning -- enough to coat the countryside and make me slide past a turn. I saw an SUV make a turn in which it needed the entire shoulder of the road. Ah, the first snow. Time to be extra careful. Or to have a 4WD. After such a mild November, I have no complaints about winter's official arrival.
