40 degrees here. We had a few light frosts a few weeks ago, but not enough to slow the plants or bugs down.

Yesterday we had our first snow here. Most of it melted, but this morning there is about 1/4" of snow on the grass and an inch on the shed roofs.

Barely had flurries here yesterday, but woke up to 27F down in the holler. Nice and much warmer today although we had a good frost this morning, but not our first.
