first snowfall... trauma

at 4:30am i went to let my dogs out to do their business.  the weatherman had forecast snow for last night but when i looked out the window to see if it were true i couldn't see any lingering however, the ground was wet... the stairs were wet.  i thought it had just rained.  nope.  my foot hit the top step and i had no chance.  down the stairs i went.  bumbling and bouncing (i think)... pain.  lots of it.

the result:  being treated for a fractured wrist.  my left leg and ankle hurt quite a bit, but i hope this will go away soon.

lesson learned:  move to warmer climate
