I went outside this morning and just the feel in the air tells me that a change is on the way. After we have the warm and stormy weather, it will get much colder as the reports say. Then in the early hours of Saturday morning, get the kids out of bed to see a rare Decemeber treat, falling snow. We will probably get less than an inch, but it is a chance to get your Christmas pictures done!
Get those batteries for the camera a some milk for hot chocolate!
