First snowfall of the season

Today we woke to the first falling of snow for the winter. Pretty early considering its still the first week of December. When we were kids we would see snow in Late October but over the years it has come later and later. Nowadays we don't expect any real snow until January and a white christmas has been a dream for most years. NEvertheless it's nice to have a little dusting like this to paint the landscape and be thin enough to walk in without the snowshoes. We'll be sure to break them out again once it get deeper.
