White Fluff

This is the Black Walnut tree in my yard a couple of weeks ago:


This is the same Black Walnut tree today:


Today was a day of firsts:
-1st time I have lived somewhere that snow is definitely in the winter forcast.
-1st time I have ever seen snow in October.
-And the grandest: today was the first time I have ever driven in snow. (It was like driving into a white vortex)

A few hours after I awoke today I saw the snow. As the day progressed the snow continued and continued. It then started to stick and around 5:00 the white fluff was thick and bountiful. We (Nat, Corrina, and I) had a blast playing in the white winter wonderland! Here are a few more of my favs:
