First Snowfall of the Year

....and it was a doozy, with 4.5 inches of snow!  I did not feel ready for this event, but it turned out to be really pretty with how the snow stuck to the trees.  Here are some pictures, including some of hoarfrost.  (I have lots of other pictures from the weekend, including those of the "It's A Wonderful Life" production at Peoria Christian High School that Kris and Katie participated in, but maybe they will be posted on a later day.)
