Early snowfall

I took these pictures of the Grafton Heights subdivision during the unusually early first snowfall of the 2011-2012 winter season. 

The first snowfall of the 2011-2012 winter season came a month early, which surprised many. Carleton County residents woke up this morning in shock upon looking out their windows and seeing the ground covered in the dreaded white stuff. 

This means that the winter season will be here before you know it. In about a month, it will be time to take the snow shovels out of storage. Be prepared and stop by your nearest hardware store and buy a new shovel if necessary. 

The early snowfall should also be a wake up call for area motorists to install winter tires on their vehicles. Your local mechanics are happy to do so. Everyone is happy to lend a hand in the fight against Jack Frost.
