snow in october?!?

we couldn't believe it! we woke up on tuesday morning (the 21st) and saw snow covering the ground! And it was only 30 degrees outside! With a wind-chill making it feel even colder. The roads were a little icy in spots as Rob went to work... but by noon all roads were clear and only a few spots of snow remained in more shady spaces. Even though my first thought was... "this is going to be a long winter"... it was actually a beautiful day! The sun was shining bright in the sky! people here have said that even though winters can be cold and there is lots of snow... there is also lots of sun! so that is what I am holding on to! hehe... =0) here are a few pics of our first day of snow in the Springs....
