winter

 

There was no gradual transition between the seasons.  No gentle falling of colored leaves aided by autumn breezes. Thanksgiving Day was the last in a series of great fall days with balmy temperatures in the 70s and blue skies.  Then -- wham-- artic front, freezing temperatures, gale winds and a combination of rain, sleet, and a bit of snow coating fall's colors with ice.
