october (snow) showers

Last year on this blog, I complained about receiving our first snow fall in mid-November. When I looked outside around 6am this morning, what did I see? Snow! We didn't get the two feet of snow Buffalo got. Since the whole front yard was covered in snow, I know we got a least a couple inches' worth. Part of me knows I shouldn't be so shocked. The leaves have been changing colors early this year, which is usually a sign of an early winter. But still: it's the second week of October. Autumn started three weeks ago. According to the calendar, we shouldn't be seeing snow until it's turkey-shopping time. I know the weather is supposed to be unpredictable in this region of upstate New York, but this is a little much.
