It has finally arrived here in Wisconsin!! The first snow that actually stays on the ground. There is always something about the first snow and the beauty of it which eventually leads to the yearning for spring and warmer temperatures. I do plan to enjoy the winter activities though while I can. Ice skating, sledding, snowman, snowball fights and maybe a snowfort. I can't leave out the shoveling, salting and driving. One never knows what type of winter it will be.
