The first winter storm rolled through last night and the weather channel dubbed it winter storm Avery! True to form it seems pretty mild, especially here. This morning it was all rain and only in the past hour has the deck shown a little bit of ice forming. I guess the same cannot be said for Maryland and back in Johnstown. Truly though, it's the middle of November and I've only noticed a flake or two flittering by so far. That pleases me greatly.
