Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgiving we are having a winter storm warning. I find this very unusual.

This weather is Christmas weather. This is the kind of picturesque snow you expect on Christmas Eve in a movie: large, fluffy flakes gently floating down from the sky.

The snowfall is dressing up the trees so nicely. Where I grew up, the snow almost never fell straight enough to pile evenly on tree branches. Snow was usually accompanied by wind, and, therefore, it created blizzardy, drifted conditions. We would have bare patches on the grass in some areas, but six-foot drifts in front of the house. This Thanksgiving snow is very pretty.

For anyone who desires to run a Turkey Trot race today, this weather is highly unsuitable. Sometimes on Thanksgiving we have played games outside, like Ultimate Frisbee. Maybe we can bundle up and play anyway.
