The taste of winter arrived early this year as snow fell on October 14th, which is early here in Lake Placid. The students were extremely excited. For some, it was just another Lake Placid thing; for others, it was their first time seeing snow. There was laughing and smiles everywhere.
Flurries were coming down all day, and the fields were covered in white. A snowman was made on the field, and people joyfully made snow angels. Some people were not incredibly happy with the early snowfall, but lots of winter sports people were excited, and it got skiers hyped for ski season.
This week, the weather has been unseasonably warm, and the snow is long gone, but there has been snow on the tops of the mountains all week. Mother Nature showed signs of being ready to give us a great winter.
