Snow...in OCTOBER!

This was my backyard this morning! I was trying to get a shot of a little goldcrest that looked like it was going in and out of the birdhouse, but it flew away. I couldn't believe the snow though, we've had snow two winters in a row, but usually in January and February. Even then the locals have told us it is highly unusual for this area. Hmmm...what is the winter going to be like then? Brrrrrr.....
