What happened to Autumn?!?!?!

We have had such nice weather in the 70's and 80's and about a week of 50's-60's then BAM this morning we woke up to winter!!!

Wynnie came down this morning and we sent her to lay on the couch. We can usually get a little more sleep when we do this, but this morning she went out to the couch then we heard her say "Mom, you need to come look at this...it is really weird...you better bring Dad too...he needs to see this...it's REALLY weird." So we got up wiped the sleepers out of our eyes and stumbled into the living room. She had opened the curtains and was standing on the couch with her mouth wide open pointing out the window. We looked out and the whole neighborhood was covered in snow and it was still coming down pretty hard! Wynnie then looked at me and said "Mom, it's going to be a special day...I love the snow!"




We walked to church in the snow--it was huge flakes and it was coming down hard so I thought for sure by the time we got done with church (3 hours later) the sun would be shinning and all the snow would be melted, but this is what it looked like when we walked home:



By the time we got home (a block and a half away) we were covered in snow!






I hope this is just a fluke and winter is not coming this early!...especially with this much snow as we are still mourning the loss of our snow blower!
