Snow!

The weather forecast for this coming Sunday has a new feature: snow.
One of the great things about living in Minnesota is the parade of seasons. You never get bored of the weather, since there's always something new. One of the not-so-great things, of course, is cold weather, shoveling driveways, and driving on slippery road.
You take the good with the bad. Kids have a different perspective: to them, it's all good.
My oldest was positively giddy at the prospect of the first snowfall of the season. I have to admit to a certain excitement, too: snow covers up all the stuff I didn't get around to doing in the garden, and it doesn't need to be mowed every week.
This snow (if it even arrives) is likely to be just a few flakes which melt as soon as they hit the ground--though I understand that in Nebraska they're getting ten inches.
I know this won't make me popular among a lot of Minnesotans, but I always hope for an extra-snowy winter. As I figure, if you're going to live in a place with winter, you might as well go whole hog.
