IT'S THE FIRST SNOW OF THE YEAR!!!

and its a blustery one! the 30-6okm winds are stripping the trees bare. the leaves scuttle past my windows and take flight like flocks of birds. the trees howl in pain as the wind whips through them. the sound is reminiscent of stormy waves crashing on a rocky shore.

the clouds are descending lower and closer as the minutes past.
i went from being able to see the snow-capped mountains across the valley to barely able to see the house across the street.

and we're losing power...

and there's a chance of a thunderstorm? can you even have a thunderstorm when its snowing?
its just me, and the snow, and a kitchen full of ghosties.
