A Taste of Winter

Mother Nature didn't want me to get away without having a taste of winter.  Yesterday there were a few snowflakes, but the ground and pavement were too warm for it accumulate.  By the early evening it began to snow in earnest, and this is what I woke to this morning.

Here on the western side of Cleveland there was just enough snow to cover the ground, perhaps two inches.  However to the east of Cleveland in the "snow belt" lake effect snow is expected to bring up to ten inches of the white stuff.   

Unless we get more snow, I don't think I will even bother with the snowblower, especially since the forecast calls for the temperature to go up to 50 F by Sunday.

I could wish that this will be my only taste of winter, but I know northern Ohio weather too well to count on that.
