First snow for autumn 2022, one day before equinox. Ground is not frozen, and temperatures remain (relatively) warm, so this first snow is not expected to stay with us.

Last year, beginning on exactly this day, we had four days of steady snowfall, accumulating 16 inches... (41 cm) which remained all winter. Fingers crossed that isn't happening this year.

These little violas have been 'volunteering' in my gardens and yard for so many years, unabashedly surviving weather that destroys the less hardy. Always a delight.
