Random Thoughts, Notes, & Incidents

That's the view from my back porch of the snow and ice covering my back yard right now.

In the three years we've lived here we've had a couple of light dustings of snow that have melted before it hit ground, and we've seen a little bit of snow at slightly higher elevations, but this is the first time anything has actually stuck to the ground here.

It started just over an hour ago, and it's still sticking now, although the snow and ice storm has turned back to rain. The lightning has been close enough, and loud enough, to vibrate the computer keyboard as I type.
