The end of daylight savings time brought its usual extra hour of sleep which we took advantage happily. Unfortunately it took away the sun in the process. Last week the sun was setting at 6:00. Now with the time change it's setting at 5:00 and will only continue to get earlier until late December. While it does mean the sun is also rising an hour earlier, it's really hard to notice the difference between 9:30 and 8:30 when we're already at school in classrooms with no windows. So today I went to school in the dark and came home after the sun had set - yuck! I guess it's going to be a long, dark winter. 
If it continues to snow regularly, I think I may survive the darkness. We woke up to another 3 inches yesterday morning and it has decided to stick around a little bit longer than our Halloween. It's not too hard for the snow to stay around when the high for the day is 27 degrees. Right now our temperatures are ranging between the low 20s to upper 30s, but it wouldn't feel so terribly cold except for the terrible winds we're getting. The planes are supposed to come in every hour, but it's hit or miss with all the wind. Some days we get no planes at all because the winds are so bad. I'm planning on making a grocery order Wednesday, so I guess we'll see if I actually get it.
