These months roll by quickly. October brought wonderful summerlike temperatures to Central NY, which was great! This morning before going to a meeting, I checked the weather on my phone. I saw that today’s temperature would range from 34-40 and it showed snow falling. I looked outside, and there was no sign of snow. Seconds later, it began falling lightly, looking sort of like rain. The “rain” began turning into snow and falling progressively harder as I drove along. It came down quite hard at times, but luckily it just stuck to the grass. I hadn’t put the snow brush into the car at that time. The windows were just wet when I returned to my car following the meeting.
Be well, Marcia
