So much for the Off-season...

We woke up this morning to about 6-8" of fresh snow on the ground outside our house. Lucy didn't skip a beat. She charged right outside to get ready for her first snowball chasing session. Even though we were stuck inside (not painting) our house yesterday while it rained, we weren't totally expecting winter this soon! Our trees still have green leaves on them and are now bent over in a sad affair almost touching the ground. The bigger trees lost limbs and some of the smaller ones are completely up-rooted. My flowers and garden are no longer present, instead just mounds of snow hide where they are clearly hibernating.

But we are a ski town and promise to act as such. Baldy is already reporting 18" on-top...time to start waxing:)
