Very small snowflakes fell during the late morning on Saturday, following a chilly and overcast night. When the clouds finally lifted early afternoon, the hills all around the lake had a very visible light dusting of snow on the evergreen trees. One neighbour insisted in was frozen fog settling on the trees…that sounds like snow to me! Despite a forecast of clear skies and warm temperatures this coming week, our nights are chilly and the dew has been replaced by frost in most areas. The smell of smoke from the many wood-burning fireplaces is a gentle reminder that winter is just around the corner.
