first snow

We got our first snow of the season at the house last week. It started snowing overnight & I'd say we ended up with about 2 to 3" on the ground. This is the view out of our back sliding door. The patio table has a pretty good cover of snow. You can't see the mountains because of all the low cloud. The snow didn't stick around for long though. Temperatures this week have been back up in the 70's (20's celsius). Bit confusing for the plants that haven't lost their leaves yet. The marigolds and zinneas have been brought to a premature end although the cold doesn't seem to bother the pansies - even after being buried in snow!
