Old Man Winter is coming !!

.We got our real first snowfall last night and early this morning, not here but about 1/2 hour from here and up on Whiteface Mountain they got it too.
.

.It is too early for winter, I am not ready for it, on the way to church I was cold and grumpy.

.

• 1976–1977, one of the coldest winters in the US in decades.
• 1985, Arctic outbreak   resulting  cold temperature records broken.
• 2002–2003 was an unusually cold winter in the Northern and Eastern USA.
• 2010–2011, persistent bitter cold in the entire eastern half of the USA from December onward till May, there were  few or no mid-winter warm-ups,  Heavy and persistent snow squalls contributed to almost constant snow cover in the Northeastern US which finally ended and receded in early May.

.

.This snow will all melt and it will be wet, this helps fill the swamps up with water, keeps wells full of water and when the swamps are full of water the Big Bucks start moving for hunting season.
.

. This is the road towards Tug Hill which is just below the Adirondack Park, Tug Hill is high in elevation and theleaves are past peak.
 .

.We ran right into the storm clouds and snow last night when we went to Gouverneur for a family get  togather. ..
