First Snow of the Season..

The way this winter was shaping up we thought we'll never see any of the 'white stuff' this season...the weather has been so much like spring and so less like winter even nature got fooled to some extent...we saw quite a few cherry blossoms in bloom and the daffodils woke up from their hibernation hoping to add color to the dreary world....alas...winter decided to make a late and grand entry and thwart everyones happy plans...

Today we got our first snow of the season...the weather the past few days have been seasonable...mighty cold I would say since we had gotten used to the occassional 50's and 60's. We are not expecting a huge accumulation this time but it is slightly more than a dusting...Sean seemed to be the only one excited about the snow and has been wanting to step out to make a snowman...maybe we can convince him that its not a great idea..i have to admit it looks beautiful outside but only till the moment you have to step outside...

Here's a view of our deck and our front yard...

Now if only there was a way for my daffodils to get the message and get back in the ground. Hopefully they wont face premature death and can manage to make it to spring. Here's hoping that spring makes an early arrival..
