First sign of a real winter

Today 12/3/2010 we finally got a real winter day. Last night the wind was howling all night. When the sun came up this morning, the cabin out front was completely white and I couldn't see out the windows. When I went outside there were snowdrifts above my knees. I was as "GIDDY" as a child waking up Christmas morning. Even though it was blowing big time, I bundled up and just sat on the porch. It's just some kind of crazy feeling I get. Anyway it has warmed up to 28 degrees.
