We woke up to the above light swirling flakes & a faint visible dusting around 6:30AM and by mid-morning, when we went out for a hockey game Hubs was reffing and a little jaunt to Hobby Lobby and Michaels for some craft supplies, it had turned to large thick flakes falling at a fairly decent pace.
Thankfully, people actually took the snow seriously and most stayed in and off the roads. For once road maintenance actually believed the weatherman and were ready with the salt so we had very little trouble getting out for a few hours.
By mid-afternoon we were home, snuggled under blankets with the fireplace going and an NCIS marathon on tv. I made hot chocolate, pumpkin caramel cookies and garlic Parmesan monkey bread for us to munch on and I think it was decided that it was pretty much just the perfect day.
The snow continued to fall the rest of the day but by late afternoon it was mostly just large flakes swirling around, it felt like we were in a snow-globe! So pretty!
Seriously got me in the mood for Christmas though, definitely felt like fall was over and Christmas was right around the corner.
I started mapping out my Christmas crafts that I'd like to do and even starting working on the first one while we relaxed & watched TV. I always like having the non-food Christmas crafts near completion by the time December 1st hits so that they can actually be hung up and enjoyed during the Christmas season. It'll be nice to be able to take it slow and have plenty of time to get them done.
Who else has had snow so far in October? Do any of you have any Christmas crafts you are planning? I love hearing other people's ideas & plans!

Oh man!! I can't wait until it snows here! In our new condo we have a fireplace and we're so looking forward to making our first fire on the first snowy day!! :)
No snow here yet, but I'm sure the trees will be bare soon. I'm starting to get excited for Christmas too!

Awww, your day sounds *perfect*!! Michigan drivers are absolutely crazy until about the fifth snowfall of the year! It's like they totally forget how to drive.
No Christmas crafts planned... hoping to make some of our gifts this year, but seeing as it is already the first week of November, now sure how realistic that plan will be!! :)
