Despite my hope that the El Nino out west would give us a mild winter, sadly, it has finally arrived. I love it when the sun sets through the trees like this. It only happens for a few days in early January.
And this is with the new filter.
My stepdaughter was married on January 16th. I had been hoping and praying that there would be no snowstorm. We awoke that morning to torrential downpours that cleared up by early evening. However, exactly 24 hours later, this was happening. The snow literally waited till the day after the wedding to start falling.
Woke up to this on Monday morning. It wasn't too bad...just enough to coat the ground and make things pretty for a few hours. We went into Sandwich where they had far less, but on the way home, we went through Mashpee/Falmouth and they got way more than we did too.
Poor flamingos. They look so cold.
We haven't had a whole lot of snow yet although the roads were pretty snowy on Monday. Your pics look so pretty. It really is lovely to look at even if it causes other problems.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo. Yes...it does look nice the next day but I really can't stand it. I am very apprehensive about the storm this weekend.
DeleteNo snow here on the upper Pacific West Coast, temps at 8 or 9 Celsius. We are having a mild winter so far. . .I like my snow on the mountains. . .
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous. I miss PNW winters. Just rain/clouds. Maybe one or two small snow events. I'm not cut out for this climate and I'm not adjusting at all, despite being here for over 4 years.
Deletewow the sun through the trees is amazing! we've had a few 'dustings' but expect the full on storm this weekend. oh not looking forward to the shoveling
ReplyDeleteI'm going to hire out the shoveling. Seriously. My back was in agony all last year, through the spring and summer. Not doing that again.
DeleteHey JoJo,
ReplyDeleteAwesome effects and aha, that's what snow looks like! Warm and tropical in the UK, well, almost :)
Congrats to your stepdaughter. And stay warm, JoJo, we hear you guys are getting some more severe snowstorms.

Yes...the storm has been upgraded in the last couple of hours...not looking forward to it.
DeleteLove the photos. The snow is pretty to look at but not if you have to go anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne! Unfortunately it seems that I have to always go somewhere. And I worry with Russell on the road too.
