Like it or not, winter has arrived in Kelowna.

The official start of the season is still weeks away, but the snow started falling heavily on Thursday night and has not let up yet.

People have taken to social media to share their photos, and thoughts, on the first snowfall of the season.
 

From what we gather, the dogs of Kelowna are a little happier about the weather than humans.
