First Snow

Starting about 1100 this morning, we received what I estimate to be about a half an inch of snow over about the next four to four and half hours. Given the temperance of the winter to date, it was a welcome sight. I'm forced to estimate the snowfall because it did not accumulate on the ground, but it did collect on some of the trees, and during my afternoon walk, I saw some on Fitch Bridge.

This really is not a lot of snow, but thinking back on last year this is how things started. There was just a hint of a collection on the dead leaves along the Baltimore Annapolis Trail one morning. Just a few weeks later I was slogging through a storm that had already dumped about five inches on the trail and was showing no signs of letting up.

There will be a handful of disappointed little people around if we don't get one major snowstorm this year. Here's to seeing how this will all come together over the next month.
