First snow

[urbpan]

No snow at the zoo, but enough at home to make the steps slick, and to ice over the cars and fence latches. It was thundering as it came down last night. My little jack-o-lantern looked cute in his hat of snow, but it was still too dark out when I left to get a picture. The prognosticators say Saturday night will be ugly. Wintry mix is the new normal.
