Month: November 2013

So it started snowing later yesterday afternoon with the temperature hovering around freezing – the snow has continued off and on right through until this afternoon.  No real accumulation on the roads or on the yards but definitely on sidewalks and running trails.  Probably no more than a quarter to half inch when I went…
