What a mess!

First Snow!

A few random flakes fell earlier this November, but this is the first white ground. I've lent my camera to Marz, who is her visiting family in Oregon, so I ran outside with my laptop, here at Bob's Java Hut, to record it.
I didn't realize the computer would catch me too, out of the corner of its eye.
