We already got snow a few times, too, though not as much as it looks like you got. It's been a really cold fall and I think this year we will probably get a lot of snow (last El Nino year in 2006 we got about 6-7 feet of snow over the course of the winter and one 26" snow storm...). We are supposed to get more snow mid-week.

I hope your winter shapes up better than ours (though if you really like snow, I guess it's a good thing!).

Are you just east of the Canadian Rockies? Living so close to the mountains really brings some "interesting" weather sometimes!
