Falling

No real snow yet, but it's expected by morning, and could fall at elevations as low as 1000 feet. There were flurries of popcorn snow this afternoon, but never enough to stay on the ground. The storm still doesn't appear to have much moisture— probably just enough to make the roads dangerous. It will be good if nobody skids into a utility pole and takes out our power. I have no desire to be without electricity on a night when it could be 25 degrees F.

The rain expected Thursday will be considerably warmer, though still chilly. I'm not enjoying winter's premature onset. Pomegranates would help assuage my displeasure, but I have none. I guess I'll settle for a persimmon.
