We got about 30 cm (12 in.) of snow. For us that us a major snow fall. Most of our snowfalls are an inch or two.
So we are ready for a white Christmas!

Oh, I didn't learn anything about taking pictures of snow at the night. I did get some snowflakes!
Oh my goodness, did you ever get it! The snow sure was heavy to shovel this morning, it tuckered me right out! I love your shots...you made this mess of white stuff look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have never been beat before by snow shoveling. I was completely pooped before being half finished. I tried the night shots but I need more camera and more smarts.
DeleteTwelve inches!!! Red the snow I've had for the past three years wouldn't total that much I don't think.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your neighbor helped you out. Heavy wet snow is the dangerous kind to shovel. I say send me some but it's not cold enough here.
I do like the first night shot with the snow flakes everywhere - Christmas card potential.
Sometimes we don't get 12 inches in a whole winter either! Shoveling snow won't kill me . I don't have problems that way. It just exhausted me.
DeleteBeautiful snow photos!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
First question - did you get your cross country skies out? Second - how come you haven't bought a snowblower? The snow on the trees is quite pretty and I like the evening shot. Imagine, the leaves are still on the trees too. You know what that means Red - the warm weather will come once again and melt it all away before winter sets in.....maybe. ha,ha
ReplyDeleteThe cross country skis are half waxed. We usually don't get enough snow to bother with a snow blower. If this had been dry winter snow it would have been no problem. All our leaves are gone. I think this is here to stay.
DeleteThanks for not sending it this way! We did have rain with partial icy maybe snow today, but it all melted. You need a snow stick too..but I suppose it is too late:(
ReplyDeleteWe just couldn't quite get it to go your way. It seemed to lose it's energy in western Sask.
DeleteWOW Red can you do me a favour keep it out there for just a little longer we need to get some more fence done and more wood in. Thanks for the help:) Nice photos I love snow. B
ReplyDeleteWe never even send a snowflake your way. Our weather slides south to Minnesota. You get your nasty lows from the Atlantic.
DeleteIt IS beautiful. And I know it's coming here. Snow tires are on... You take care shovelling. My goldfish pond is frozen.
ReplyDeleteThe snow was beautiful as it hung on the trees. The wind soon will take care of it and it will be gone.
DeleteWOW We just had our first few frosts no signs of snow ~ hopefully for a while.
ReplyDeleteGlad someone gave you a hand and came to your rescue with a snow blower Red :)
We get overnight frost about halt the nights in October.
DeleteThis is a lot of snow for the first snowfall! What will come next? So sad for the red tree, all gone under the snow.
ReplyDeleteWe usually don't get heavy snow storms. This snow will soon blow off the tree. It's a mountain ash and the leaves have dropped. The berries stay on all year.
DeleteSeems early to me to have that much snow. You reminded me of Colorado winters when we'd have three feet! I don't miss it, Red. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe rarely get anything like this. One year I road my bike until Dec. 7.
DeleteMy goodness1 You've got a lot of snow already!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
Many greetings from the Netherlands,

Yes, ordinarily we don't get so much snow at once.
ReplyDeleteThanks.

ReplyDeleteWe were fortunate with this snow as there was no wind.
DeleteThat's a lot snow at once! It is SO pretty though!
ReplyDeleteFor here it's a lot of snow at once.
DeleteWow, that's a LOT of snow!! It's so pretty though. Nice photos you took.
