"First Snow", by presley
Is it just me, or is it not supposed to snow like this before Thanksgiving? *UPDATE:* I've been fiddling around with "Flickr's":http://flickr.com/people/nedward Blog functionality, trying to find a good template that works. This one was inspired by "Matt Haughey's":http://a.wholelottanothing.org/ solution, which uses some inline styling to crop the photo. I like this solution not only because it is visually attractive, but also because it loads the image in the background, hopefully reducing the initial page load time. Of course, I don't have a dial-up connection to test this, but theoretically, it makes sense. Now, if only they would add "category":http://flickr.com/forums/help/1454/ support for their Blog widget...

Count yourself lucky. Here in Alberta, Canada we had snow on the 9th of September, and not just a little, it was such a storm that it cost St. Albert (where I live) tens of thousands of dollars in clean up costs due to all the tree damage. It was ridiculous!
