There is a lot of information contained in this rather boring picture taken today.
First: If you click the image for a bigger version you might be able to see the sign in our across-the-street neighbor's garden: They are selling their house. In case you always wanted to live in Ithaca - here's your chance.
Second: In case our house catches fire (probably due to my cooking) there is a hydrant right across the street. Very convenient.
Third: The first snow.
It has already snowed a couple of times in Ithaca this year but the snow always melted right when it touched the ground. Today was the first day for us to wake up to some snow. Coincidentally, my co-blogger Conny went to a talk about road safety during winter yesterday. Some of the points mentioned were, that when driving during winter you should always take a shovel, a chocolate bar and some hot drink with you. When the lows hits -20F in January apparently chances are that one might get snowed in - sounds like fun...
