Ersten Schneefall

This morning's view

If you haven't guessed by looking at the pictures, we just had our seasons first snowfall ("ersten Schneefall").  The storm lasted all Saturday, and brought about an inch of rain.  However by Sunday morning there was about 4 inches of snow on our deck, with which I made a snow man.
 This might be more snow than we got all of last year.

And early this morning we switched to Standard time, so we had an extra hour to get used to the transition to winter.  And to that end, Betsy put on some Christmas music.
