Monday's light snowfall is the first true sign that winter is finally upon the Winona area. The day's dusting over roads and sidewalks was not enough to shake up most Minnesotans, but it was enough to create sheets of ice on windshields, reminding drivers to allow time for ice scraping in the mornings. On the positive side, along with snow comes sledding, snowman-making, skiing and snowball throwing. What elementary school child doesn't wake up praying for a snow day? Who can imagine tearing open presents and eating turkey without the white fluffy stuff on the ground? So grab your hats, scarves and mittens; its going to be a cold one. photo° and text bq Ilea ra. sanders
