Snowliage

Plans had already been made a month-and-a-half ago to go down to Allegany State Park and spend the day enjoying the fall foliage... Little did we know we would also be enjoying the first snow of the season! Yeah - October 17th and we are playing in the snow already.

Snow + foliage = Snowliage

The whole park wasn't covered in snow, but the parts that were, *really* were :) We embraced the cold and snow and had a really fun time.

And speaking of snow... The New York State Golden Snowball Contest blog is open for business for the 2009-2010 season! Will Buffalo be able to beat Syracuse and win the trophy this year? I'm sure there are a ton of people who want Buffalo to win and a ton more that want Buffalo to come in last place :)

The further south we drove, the more the tree branches were bent over from the weight of the snow - visions of Buffalo's October Storm flashed before my eyes...

No one shoveled yet :)

We still got to see a lot of nice fall colors...

There are more pictures on my Flickr, if anyone is interested...
