Snow in October

We had a big Nor'Easter snow storm came through yesterday. We mainly got rain, but at one point it switched over to snow. We got a nice dusting from it, but then it rained and melted. Snow is pretty rare here this early. Places up north got a lot of snow from it. The ponies got to stay inside during the worst of it. They were pretty content to stay in their warm, dry stalls and munch on hay. We turned them back out last night with their blankets on (which is the first they've had to wear their blankets this autumn.) With wind chill it felt like 25 degrees. Hopefully this isn't any indication of how winter is going to be, lol!
