The first snow of the winter always shuts down schools, etc.

The “over-forecasted” first winter snowstorm for 2025-26 was spot on. By morning we had at least 6 inches of heavy snow. About the only thing that would have made it look a little prettier would have been some sunshine … but it was still beautiful (took the photos too early in the morning though).

I’m not saying I’m a “snow lover” but I don’t mind the stillness and hush that comes after a fresh snow. If you think you’ve seen these photos before, it is likely because I usually do the same thing after the first snow of the season. 😉

This has nothing to do with snow or the weather (unless you believe retirees should not live where it snows!) … but I wanted to save a Kiplinger article on “Six Jimmy Buffett Lyrics Every Retiree Should Live By (PDF)” on the blog.
