Getting ready for winter

It is snowing here. October 28, 2008 and we have a winter storm warning. Already there are several inches of wet, slushy snow on the ground. This morning when I walked to the end of the driveway to retrieve the newspaper it was raining, with some snow mixed in. Now it is all snow.

We got a new snowblower today, just in time for the weather. We bought our first one 13 years ago when we moved here, and it served us well all that time. The new one has a light, an electric start, and a wider path. It' great, I think. Maybe we will test it out this evening.

Winter is actually my favorite season in most respects. I don't mind the cold, because it usually is easy to get warm. I like fires in the fireplace. I like hot chocolate.
