Winter's First Snow

Well, folks, we finally got the first snow of the season. Now, before y'all rush off to get your skiis or snowboards and make the long trip up here, be advised that it was very little snow and most of it has melted, though Mt. High does make its own snow for those ski crazy flatlanders that drive up here in the most inappropriate vehicles conceived for mountain/icy driving. (No offense, but every year we get the most fatalities and accidents because of people trying to get up here in two-wheel drive cars without chains! Hellfire, there was an accident today even [a truck went off the road and wrapped itself around a tree, DOA] so please use common sense when driving up here and assume that your fellow drivers aren't!)
Well, we probably won't get much more for the rest of the month, but I will let you know otherwise if it happens. Now for the quote:
"Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow." - Robert Frost
Be safe, especially those of you who are passing through areas that get icy.
