snow comes to the north

Temperatures had been sub-freezing for a couple of weeks by the time it snowed for the first time. This photo, looking at the ice on hospital lake was taken on the same day as the Head of the Charles back East. We weren't jumping in the kayaks up here.

Our driveway after the first night of snow (during the last week of October).

The rancher at the ranch. Now parked for the season. The oil is frozen, so trying to start it would seize (and cease) the engine. But we're happy to be back on the snowgo, a smoother ride with a bigger gas tank.
