Who needs a white Xmas when you can have a white Halloween?

The snow (yes, snow, yes, it's October 29th) started falling around noon today. Marc and I were hitting squash balls after practicing with the children and rather downplayed their shouts of glee as they wandered outside waiting for us to finish up. Racing down to the courts (which aren't windowed, so we hadn't a clue what was truly going on out there), they announced: "It looks like Christmas out there! Everything's covered with snow!" Low and behold, everything was covered, it came out of nowhere, and it hasn't stopped all day. Hugo's exuberant commentary, as we drove home, fat snowflakes caking our windshield: "It's FINALLY snowing!! The season I've been waiting for!! The best season of all!! There's so much, the snow is obscuring the windows!"
