Most often, the "stick around" kind of snow arrives here by late November, early December. Right now (Dec. 5th) we have bare ground, and green grass, although we have had a snowcover (</summary><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6206248056899906918/posts/default/410462609013316506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6206248056899906918/posts/default/410462609013316506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://graceysfreestock.blogspot.com/2011/12/preparing-for-christmaser-winter.html' title='Preparing for Christmas...er, Winter'/><author><name>Gracey</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_vekozC3ps9Q/TLNE4QmCoHI/AAAAAAAAEqA/AzwaK0C0qPM/S220/GraceyPaintingSmall.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0NXfMkejpCs/Ttz8vLw-J7I/AAAAAAAAGPQ/tVapRmleAlE/s72-c/SmallTreeWithParcels.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6206248056899906918.post-4612719268724472931</id><published>2011-11-03T08:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-03T08:47:56.692-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bulbs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pond'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='frog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='autumn window'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yellow finch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spring tulips'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clouds'/><title type='text'>Nature...Without Leaving Home</title><summary type='text'>
