Let It Snow

We had our first snow of the season today.  It wasn't measurable bit it was snow.  This fall has been very mild.  November was warm and rainy.  That followed a very mild October.  Today was in the thirties.  Tom Skilling said it was the 9th warmest November in 139 years of weather records.

December 1st was in the 50 making it the mildest December open of the past 11 years. O'Hare's 55-degree high, 15 degrees above normal, has only been equaled or surpassed on Dec. 1 on only 12 of the last 139 years.

All that ended today.  At this time of the year, I don't mind the snow and cooler temps.  Once we hit late January, I have generally had enough and look forward to the inevitable thaw with great anticipation.

White Christmas... bring it on.
