waking up to snow on ground....brrr

Much to my suprise after posting a snow day on Oct 26th, I woke up to snow sticking to ground the morning of Oct 27....Not much, but I guess it counts, btw the temp. read 22 degrees.

first snow for 2008/09

Yes, we did have a good amount of snow coming down, but with the ground staying warm, the snow was unable to stick around. whew.

It may be hard to see, although some slight accumulation on the truck window.

very hungry loon

My Aunt Patty captured photos of this loon on Lake George back in Aug 2008. If you can see from the photos the loon has caught a good size bass....unsure if was able to feed on all at one sitting....I guess I wouldn't mess with a loon...haha
