Its official...We have had our first snow of the season. My girlfriend and I were out on horseback this evening, going around a country mile, completely forgetting that with the DST change its now pitch black at 6:15 PM

Taking a 2 horses through a dark field with only a couple flashlights isn't fun :-/ Almost back to my friends place where our makeshift stables are, about 7 PM...suddenly it began to spit a little bit of snow instead of the usual rain. Next thing we knew it looked like a blizzard it was coming down so hard

Lasted about 5 minutes then completely quit...but its still the fact it was SNOW

Personally I wouldn't mind if the snow would hold off a little longer. But tomorrow into Wednesday we are expecting to get snow showers, some mixed with rain or ice

Ground isn't cold enough for it to stick but we could do without it anyways. Also have 3 days with highs only in the lower to mid 40's :-/
They say its going to be a bad winter, which cold wise it was bad last year. But the white stuff...other then about one good snowfall a year we really have made it out easy since the blizzard of 98 where I had a 4.5 week Christmas vacation from school instead of the 1.5 week planned

They say this year could be worse then 98. Predicting temps to be a little above normal but lots of extra moisture to fuel snow storms. But unlike 98 I no longer get to enjoy those extra days off school

Instead its enjoy the roads every morning and night and hope to make it to and from work
Winter...love it...yet hate every bit of it [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
