An overnight low of 32F had lain a veil of frost on blades of grass and iced beaded water on porches and decks. A chilly 36F at 8am, with a hazy, lightly cloudy sky ushering in some sunshine. Dark days ahead as the sun is lower in the sky and sets earlier until the solstice on 21 December. Update: first came the mist late afternoon, sinking into the valleys and then the snow arrived around 5pm, in earnest this time, like it meant business.
