The temp was down below 30° during the night and it looks like Cascade Mountain was hard at work. The lights were on all night! By 8:30 am the flurries began - Does this count as an official first snow or does it disqualify? Depends on what you heard and if it sticks!

We had a tasty breakfast and to not disappoint those that not only missed having O'Wich pix from last week (check the blog, they've been added) but also questioned the missing meal pix - I will do my best to oblige...starting now!

It snowed for about an hour - enough to accumulate a bit and for me to have been here four years in a row for the first snow! I think the birds know something - they seem to be having a dining frenzy!

We are having company in a couple of weeks so for lunch today we are trying one of the appetizers we would like to serve - Reuben Dip. It should be ready in an hour and then we;re off to Menard's.

This dip was quite tasty - I think we've found ourselves a keeper.

At 3:30 we left for Menard's. It was a disappointing excursion. Rte 33 had an ice patch on a bridge that was scary - and when we got there they didn't have one of the items we went for and the other was a special order. So the two hours we were gone felt like much longer. Time to get back to O'Wich and grill up some steaks for dinner!

We were done with dinner and cleaned it all up by 7:30 and ahhhh - a cup of coffee....what could possibly be better? Napping until bed time certainly should be up for a nomination and a tasty snack before bed.

Good night!
