Those would be snowflakes on Bear’s back.

A very balmy (55F) Sunday made it a bit hard to believe today’s Winter Storm Warning, but NOAA nailed the forecast

At my house, just light flurries, but other spots in the valley had 2-4-6-8 inches of heavy, wet snow that brought down trees and power.

The fuschia shrugged off snow and cold and persist in blooming madly!

Auggie chooses to ignore the weather outside…

The slash pile.

Thanks to logger Ben Thompson (Badger Cutting), working across the road from me, my slash pile is a bit better organized and just waiting for a good burn day!

After yesterday’s warmish temperatures, today went to cold. I had my first woodstove fire.

Time to cozy up.
