Firsts...

Couple of firsts, the first dog run of the season..

And then the next day, the first snowfall. Well we did get a dusting earlier in the week, but it all melted immediately, so this is the first one that "stuck."

Just like fall, winter comes early up here. According to the weather bureau, this snowfall is about right on time for the normal first snow.

The storm that brought us the snow. The jet stream pushing a "pineapple express" into Canada, then curving westward to dump on Alaska. Areas to the east of us got a lot more snow, so we were lucky to only get a few inches.
