Winter Arrives!

With a vengeance. It was snowing when I awoke, and has continued all day long - that fine sifting down sugary snow that doesn't seem to accumulate on the roads but frosts the bushes and trees and coats the green grass white.

It's not cold really. No sharp wind blowing. Even the birds are singing gaily, as if welcoming winter. We have had unseasonably warm weather for November, and people had started to wonder if winter was ever going to come. Here it is!

If sincerity counts for anything, I believe winter is here to stay. Indications are that it promises to be fairly mild for awhile. No bitter temperatures or icy power outage types of storms brewing in the near future.

My neighbor says if winter stays like this, she can live with it. Of course, she would like it to go away as soon as Christmas passes! Happy winter.
