Snowing in Centreville, VA

We are having our first snow of the year.  It looks great but who knows how much we’ll get and/or how long it will last.  I slept on my sister’s screened in porch last night  and woke up to rain at some point in the wee hours.  Since I really never pay attention to the weather forecasts, I forgot that it was supposed to snow.

I was reminded once yesterday when I made the mistake of going to the grocery store at five pm.  That is bad enough on a Friday but a Friday before the potential for a snow storm?  Forget about it.  I got my beer and headed for the hills!

Anyhow, I was back home this morning reading and listening to the rain when I realized it had stopped.  I looked out and saw that the rain had changed to snow.  Since it is only about 40 degrees out I was a bit surprised.  It’s fine with me though.  I just started some turkey soup and we’ve got West Virginia football on the tube at noon.

Maybe I’ll be able to break out my cross country skis tomorrow morning.  I think we’ve only had enough snow here to cross country ski once in the five years since I bought them.
