Snow - Dec 2023
2nd December 2023

After three nights of freezing fog, we had snow Wednesday night into Thursday, about 2 inches, but then Friday it started raining and it all quickly melted, so I never got any pictures.

Ole' Kuron hasn't participated in this since 2014, at least when it comes to doing an actual calendar, and we are missing one of our previous contributors, so Ole' Kuron is trying to make up for lost time and try and add some extra content.

Looks, good Jay. Sadly, chocolate is one of those things I can't eat anymore.
