Well there was snow last night/early this morning in the PNW. A fairly light dusting really, from 1" or less depending on area. It was rain when I headed out in my full rain suit, but a very thick icy rain. My bike computer read 34 degrees, so it was probably snow an hour or so earlier. I really enjoyed riding up the trail (the path itself was completely snow free) with the trees and fields dusted with snow. Very pretty. The river that the trail runs along was very high after the recent rain storms, and at one point a great blue heron took flight and flew parallel to me for a while. You often see the GBH perched gargoyle like on stumps in the river, but I have only seem them taking flight a few times. Truly an impressive bird, with a large wingspan but still elegant in flight.

Just heard on the radio that more snow is very likely. Yay! Looks like we're going to have an actual winter this year.
