First Snowfall

Today is the day most people in the Midwest dread - the first snowfall.

I thought by listening to the weather forecast and seeing salt and sand on the streets last night that today's roads would be treacherous. I took this picture this morning around 8:00. There was still light snow falling from the sky. Now it's 1:30 and it's almost melted. I have heard that the day the first snow falls where you can see your footprint is the number of snowfalls for that winter. Well today is the 18th which, if this were true, means there's only 17 more snowfalls until Spring. Take that Punxsutawany Phil!
