The First Snow

We woke up this morning to about 4 inches of heavy, wet snow covering the ground and bushes. It started as rain yesterday afternoon and changed over to a mix of rain and snow last evening. By the time we went to bed there was a dusting of snow on the ground. This was our first snowstorm of the season. From what we've heard, winter is much shorter in Boston than Minneapolis. We should only have to endure for the next three months as opposed to four or more. Thankfully this snow is already starting to melt off the roof. We're supposed to get into the low 40's today, so hopefully it won't last long.
