First snow of the season and an early start to the season as well. I heard geese in the cove last night but didn't see any until midmorning when I saw a thin gray line swimming out of the cove in a southerly direction. I both saw and heard the ducks when I went up for the paper at seven a.m. It's now around four p.m. and the water is a very light silver gray, rippling and very cold looking.
