It started snowing last night, and was still snowing when I got up. The temperature stayed cold enough to keep the snow as a very fine, light powder. The high winds kept the snow from building up on the tree limbs. Several of my trolls went out to play in the snow — reminding them of their home in Norway. Later in the day I dug my car out and made a path from the house to the street. Not too much of a problem since the snow was so light.
