Snow in October?!

We were all very surprised to have five or six inches of snow fall today.  I'm not sure I remember ever having snow in October.

The kids loved playing in the snow....

...it wasn't all fun, though.  The heavy snow caused many trees to lose limbs.  I saw this one as it was falling--seconds before it hit the ground, a car drove underneath the branch.  I felt like I was watching a car insurance commercial where they show best and worst case scenarios.  That car was very fortunate!
