I had the great honor and pleasure of shoveling my driveway and walk three times. It was dry light powdery snow so was very easy to shovel.
I couldn't wait to go out cross country skiing. Skiing was a challenge. I had to make a trail My skies were under the snow. My intention was to make a few rounds and set the track. Somehow with the deep snow I became fatigued very quickly. It was very dull. (You know I'm leading up to an excuse , don't you.) On top of that my glasses got fogged up and I didn't notice it. When you make your own trail everything is uneven so balance is key.
Well that's right . I fell. But I did get up by myself. I continued but had decided I'd skied enough. I stopped. I lost my balance and fell. Yes, I got up again and then immediately fell. The third time I had to take my skies off.
The beauty of the falls was that we had the deep soft snow.
These photos were taken about 11:30 AM and you can see by the shadows how low the sun is in the sky.
I like the way snow piles up on stuff.
Wow, a real winter wonderland. Looks beautiful! Good thing you had that nice snow to land on.
ReplyDeleteFresh clean snow looks great but it doesn't stay that way.
DeleteThree in one snow. I guess you'd better pace yourself. It's a long winter there where you live.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind shoveling. Neighbors are really good. One neighbor did my sidewalk before I got out of the house.
DeleteBeautiful snow and I'm glad it was soft to land in!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snow doesn't last long before it gets dirty.
DeleteWow! You do have an awful lot of snow Red. I hope it has stopped snowing for awhile. As long it stays dry it is nice and pretty to look at. Sorry to hear about your skiing misadventure but glad you didn't injury yourself.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get lot of snow. We do get wind and the snow blows around.
DeleteA lot of snow. Sometimes you realize you are getting older when things go different than you would expect.... :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lot of snow for us but other places get much more snow.
DeleteHello, your snow look pretty. I always enjoy photos of snow. I am glad you had something soft to land on! Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteNew clean snow is pretty but it doesn't stay that way very long.
DeleteThat's lovely, fluffy snow! The best! Especially for shovelling!
ReplyDeleteWe find it better to do it several times, rather than at the end of a storm.
Yes, I'll go out when it's nasty and shovel so that I don't have a huge volume all at once.
DeleteThe snow always makes everything so beautiful. Sorry to know you fell, but at least you had that soft cold white cushion to fall on.
ReplyDeleteNew clean snow is beautiful but it doesn't stay that way very long before it gets dirty.
DeleteThat's quite a bit of snow. Take it easy out there! I'd be enjoying it from INdoors. :)
ReplyDeleteNothing like being outdoors in snow.
DeleteThat is quite a wonderful sight!
ReplyDeleteI know you area snow fan.
DeleteNice photos ... and I prefer photos over the real thing, myself.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I get the picture. You're not a fan of snow.
DeleteWe had the opposite kind of snow - saturated and heavy - last week. It still amazes me when I fall; it seems the slightest thing will make the difference between falling and remaining upright. Take care of those bones, Red!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell myself to somehow prevent falls. I rarely do fall.
DeleteWinter snow has definitely arrived for you. Sorry to hear you fell with the skis, not the outcome you expected. :) Take care and be safe.
ReplyDeleteWe've had lots of snow since the beginning of Sept. It has always melted. This will stay until spring.
DeleteI'm glad you didn't hurt yourself when you fell but if you have to fall, a nice pile of snow is a good way to go. Sure looks pretty.
ReplyDeleteNew clean white snow smells fresh and yes it's good stuff to fall in.
DeleteYour snow is so pretty! But I know that skiing without tracks is much more tiring than with them. And of course you fell! Glad you didn't get hurt and hopefully enjoyed yourself at least a little bit. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm setting up a track that I can use the rest of the winter.
ReplyDeleteNext time your driveway and path are covered with snow you should tell The Micro Manager that it is her turn to clear it. Equality between the sexes is important.
ReplyDeleteGood thing for snow to break your fall! Your snow is way prettier than ours! Glad you were not hurt!
