Winter came on October 28th this year...

It started on tuesday with a killing frost and just some light flakes in the air. Wednesday it started snowing for real. I spent the morning with a friend in the basement of her house learning to make Siruptynnkaker, a traditional Norwegian cookie. We started at 9am, and when we resurfaced at noon it was to emerge into a winter wonderland. We had 4-5" of snow that day. Then today, the temperature dropped to 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrr. The snow is still there. This is definitly winter.
