At last, snow

We received our first real snow of the season - 4 to 6 inches around the yard - unfortunately, we weren't really able to get out and play in it.

When we woke this morning, sometime after 8, it was about 18 degrees. By noon - after a brisk walk with the dogs - it was down to about 14 degrees. And by 6 p.m., it had fallen to 2 degrees, with a wind chill of minus 20, according to Weather.com. (Our house happens to be right off the river in town, too, where the wind funnels through from Hellgate Canyon.)

The temperature's supposed to drop some more Sunday and Monday, so it looks like we'll have to wait till next weekend.
