We're preparing for the first snow today and depending on where you live, they are calling for a couple of inches to a foot.

However, it was less successful than I had anticipated because the ground was still frozen hard. All I hope for in this fluctuating weather is that it is safe to travel early Thanksgiving day when we are taking a seven hour trip for a family filled holiday.
