First snow of the season is running behind schedule.  Usually we'd see something prior to Halloween, but not this year.
But, oh yeah, climate change isn't a real thing.
                              or is it?

It's spring in northern Michigan!

Packing it up for the year

Tonight it's 65, with a downhill slide to next Saturday of 30, so I'll take care of this while I don't have to wear gloves!

Look, it's "spring" in northern Michigan!

Shoulder deep snow at work...

Well there it is

First sticky snow of the season - on Halloween morning!

Helping Adam empty his yard of branches

Gone for 15 days and still snow?

Sun rise in the West

As we left the ground, the sun was below the horizon.

Then, as we got up to cruising altitude, we could see the sun again.
So, it *is* possible for the sun to rise in the West!

These pictures are in order and only 63 seconds apart

Garden is peaking out of the snow

Snow is clearing over the septic tank

Cat still can't see out the window

And the bird feeder (and birds) are right there!

I'd like to get the VW out

But that will entail some work!

Saturday in the park with 3 of our kids

Spring break!

Hot tub anyone?

Is it worth a broken shovel handle?

Taking a break from shoveling off the hot tub

Garden and compost bin mostly covered

Coming home to snow piled up at the garage door

Dragging snow into the garage

Yeah, it really *is* that tall!
