I have a doctor's appointment in Kalamazoo this morning which is a 30 mile trip one way and this is what I woke up to. I was not expecting to be cleaning snow off my car. I hope the county is on top of it. People seem to forget how to drive in snow even though they're born here. Attachments:

Deep freeze for sure, and early. Is this a indicator of the winter to come?

nothing like a fresh snow without any animal or human footmarks in it I can remember snow at night that had a gold flicker in it. the Holiday and Train season has started. for those of you lucky to be retired you can enjoy looking at it with beverage of choice but then the driveway and sidewalks need shoveling.
PTC I'll bet you two dogs will enjoy romping in it! I just remembered a very old movie with bing Crosby and danny kaye bing sang a song with words in it snow snow snow

It has been snowing here since late night and supposed to continue through Tuesday. They say between what is falling and lake effect we should receive from 10 to 18 inches of snow. Thank goodness I have a snow blower. That shoveling was fun when I was younger but age caught up and had to go the route of gas power.

Denny, the snow is beautiful. I enjoy looking at it while wearing shorts and a tee shirt in sunny Florida. I hope you had a safe and uneventful trip to see your doctor.

Looking forward to some snow here in Southern New England, but looks like it will be a yucky rain/snow mix for us.
Of course, by March we are all very sick of it all.

Exactly, they love the snow. They just got theri first taste of it a short time ago and are having a great time chasing each other.

No joy here in the Southeastern PA area for now... only our usual miserable winter rain with temps in the upper 30's whenever storm systems come through. THEN on the back end, we get smacked with plummeting temps into the 20's after all the moisture has moved northward. For us to get a good whallop of snow, the cold air has to be well-entrenched here BEFORE the storm energy containing all the moisture rolls into our area. And that seldom happens in our neck of the woods.

It's still snowing this morning. Yesterday my son got the snowblower started and everything the cleared away before we got home from the doctor. Now it's like he never did anything and the wind has been howling all night and into the morning.
It was a treacherous drive to the doctor's office. I could only do 40mph the entire way. I saw a lot of cars in the ditch. One car was actually in some trees several yards from the road.
The roads were clear for the ride back. 60 mile round trip.

We just got done clearing the driveway, sidewalk and brushing off the foot of snow that was on our cars. That Toro is fantastic, three years and no problems. I have a appointment to have a tune up for my car today at the Ford dealer.

First snow of the season for us. Just 3-4", no big deal. But, it has started to snow again, so who knows how much more we will receive.

Yep... An outdoor layout in Michigan is like running trains under water...
