First Snow

It began with a few scattered flakes flying on a brisk northwest wind. Nothing to worry about the weather bureau said. No accumulation.

More snow by mid-afternoon, and a lot more snow by evening. Winter had arrived to cover up autumn, to leave behind a season and usher in a new one. A drab world of browns and grays turned to glimmering white.

For those who enjoy winter—a few of us sturdy souls remain—it is a time for rejoicing.

Time to look for snowshoes and cross country skis.
