Heron Lake Plateau Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful

Obviously none of this phased Quixote at all. This was all normal, this was the world.  Sure, the first snow always felt way too early but it was unlikely that it was going to stick around anyway.  He had to stifle a guffaw.  No, that's snow.  It's what happens in winter when it gets really cold -- water freezes.  If it was a little warmer, that'd just be rain.

In a few months, snow will be covering everything.  It'll be pretty annoying, but then spring happens and it goes away again.  Quixote had to wonder if he freaked out at the same thing, but at this point childhood memories were pretty hazy. Maybe he had.  Or not.  Kind of silly to speculate about it now.  We can head back and see what your sisters think?  It's new for them too, after all.  But they were likely with their mother (or someone else if they were babysitting), so they'd probably been given an explanation too unless they were zonked out and missing the whole thing.
