Goodbye Fall

Summer has passed and Autumn is well on its way out. The first snow fall has hit Manitoba with a dreaded boom. I wish I would have known that it was coming so I could look at the grass one last time and work it into my memory. Everyone knows that once the snow hits Manitoba, it stays. I miss chinooks. In Alberta the snow will fall, and as soon as it hits the ground, it melts. This is not the case here in Winterpeg. I'm crossing my fingers for a warmer winter. I am not ready to start wearing a winter jacket. However, just because this is the first snow fall doesn't mean that it will stay all the way until March. Maybe, just maybe, Manitoba will change this year. Here's hoping.
