Update: Not just a little snow. Snow coming down so hard that it looks like rain. Snow that blocks the view. Snow that accumulates on our plastic garden flamingos. (Note: not much later than this photo was taken, the snow had accumulated a bit on the grass, blocking the green.) Temperature is down almost 2 degrees F since I took the first photo just over an hour ago.

Ugh. Time to knit.

Pout. I am *not* a cold weather grrl. Thank goodness I like wool, it’s my primary consolation throughout the cold months.

(Yes I know it’s not much…and in fact it’s warmer than freezing right now. I just really love my summertime.)

I’m not the only one who is bummed out. (After all, in Lansing the snow does not usually stick until around Thanksgiving. Sometimes we get a dusting like this around Halloween, so we are about 2-3 weeks early here.) Sarah Peasley/Handknitter has photos, too… but it looks like we got more snow in the city than she did out in the eastern ‘burbs.

Maybe it will help my headache, though… Right now I feel good. I’ll take what I can get.
