Default first snow of the season

We've had a couple days of off/on "technical" rain with another promised

of nights in the 40's (F). No snow.


just enough to get things wet, but not enough
to do much good?

we have bright sun today, cool, clear, chances
of more snow, but nothing too major, went out to
check out what i thought i saw were mouse tracks
going from one of the front yard planters to my
car (which i'm still trapping mice in even after
plugging all holes i could find they could be
getting in...). unfortunately, not enough snow
under the car so that i could track them further
to where they're going in. in a bit i'll go out
and shovel the drive and then move that planter
and see how much of a nest or food store they
might have under it. if i can't get them at one
end, i'll get them at the other.

the rumors that Bounce fabric softener sheets
will keep them away is unfounded. the car smells
better than dead mouse now, but it also stinks of
Bounce which is rather horrid. oh well, i don't
use it that often anyways. which is why it gets
mice in it to begin with.
