Snowtober!

Snowtober, it's what I heard the Weather Channel call it.


The north east was hit by an actual snow storm this weekend.  My area received about a foot of snow.  Talk about unexpected.  We had not even begun raking up leaves, and here we find ourselves shoveling snow.  Weird.


I believe this is the 3rd October in a row that this has happened, but I think this is the worst of the three storms.


It snowed all day Saturday, so I could only get a few pictures as the day progressed:  These are the back and front yards:












Sunday showed sunny with blue skies.  The wind had picked up with the sunrise.  I had to get outside to get pictures of some of my favorite spots.  But first, like those above, I had to get a few shots from around the yard at home:


I really love the colors in this next shot, the blue sky and the leaves, along with the snow.  Makes for a pretty picture.




Second stop, a nearby stream:







 Now onto the lake:



More times than none, the weather can surprise us, this one turned into a very good surprise, naturally.  :)
