Winter has arrived, or at least the weather

Our first snow of the season was actually Wednesday, October the 12th, but it only snowed a little and didn't last. Last week I could smell the cold coming; oh, what an invigorating aroma! This week the cold weather came and I believe it might be sticking around this time. Finally! The last two years I've been in Oscarville we were already in freeze up by now, so this seems a bit late to me.

This October, however, snow would fall and melt, then rain would come and chase the snow off the boardwalks, but now the cold continues. We now have slush on the slough banks and ice thickly coating the boardwalks.

It is just a matter of time until the river begins to properly freeze and boats are pulled out and snow-gos are out.
