Saturday we were busy!

We had warnings that yesterday's warm temperatures (13 C. or so) would led to rain, and then a big snow. I managed to get a lot of work done: moving the snowblower into the garage, ready for work. Tidying the yard, and bringing in all my moveable things.
This morning we had 5 mm of rain (0.21") in the gauge, now 7:50 a.m., it is snowing. Lots of people were taking advantage of the weather. One dude biking. Hillside was open for business, I bought a couple of arrangements. There were about 5 or 6 frogs still out in the goldfish pond. Two pairs huddling for warmth. I bet they don't come out today.We are at 1 C. now.
Geese are still flying. You can still see ducks in various bodies of water.

Poor Frosty needs a paint job. He's getting old, too.


It was a love red bow, which blew off in the wind. I must redo it today, using a taller ladder. <sigh> I have to gather some new pine cones for the red sled, too.

I really like your tree!

I had planned to do my outdoor decorating yesterday, but company landed in and it didn't get done. It is blowing a GALE outside my door right now. They are forecasting 25+ cm. for us folks up the Valley. Here in the hills we often get a bit more precipitation than the forecast....sigh. I hope I can get it done sometime this week before there is too much snow.

A bit of snow on the ground, i.e. almost ground cover, from overnight but now the sun is shining here in Brant county. We do have very cold winds however.

What a difference a day makes! Summer (sort of) yesterday, winter today. Glad my snow tires are on.

You've already got decorations up. I'm only thinking about it so far. - Margy

Well, the snow has come. It was already falling yesterday morning, but didn't really start sticking on the ground until noon. I think it's still falling.
