First Snow of the Winter

A couple of nights ago we got our first snow of the season. A nice 5 inches or so of nice sloppy wet stuff. Then it got clear and cold and it has stuck with us. Drive down into town and you wouldn't even know that it snowed, up here on the hill it looks like winter.

The end of October not only brings Halloween but the closing of the Salty Dawg as well. We had to stop in during a recent bike ride so Alec could play one last game of pool until next March. "The Dawg" is the watering hole for all the sport and commercial fisherman that spend any time in Homer.
We have had our fair share of fall storms coming in off the Gulf of Alaska, sure wish I had my surfboards here. It does make for fun times on the beach.
