First snow of the year

Can you believe it, still in October and already we have had snow. This was the scene to greet us when arose this morning. Well actually at half past four this morning when I was awake from it was pitch back, but this was how it looked at around eight o'clock.
It almost made me feel festive, but not enough to get out the Xmas Cd's. Although I did find some Xmas crochet projects on Ravelry for future reference :)
