The weather forecasters called for rain beginning overnight, turning to snow mid-afternoon. At 7:30 this morning it was raining. At 9:00 this morning it was snowing. *sigh* I suppose it was mid-afternoon in Europe, anyhow.

The view off my deck at 9:30am and 2:00pm. Notice how far down the branches of the oak have been bent by the weight of the snow.

Out my front window, am and pm. The forecasters said that the snow wouldn't stick to roadway surfaces. They lied.
It's a good thing I got new tires for the little Prius yesterday. I'd like to claim it was foresight, but if pressed I'd have to admit that it was just lucky timing.
For some of us, it was a day like any other.
