Well, no surprise. We're getting a major dump of snow. We had 2 - 3 inches by about 4.30 PM. It's been coming down steadily since then. I will shovel again this evening.
The first phots were taken in the day time . The others were taken this evening.
Please store your snow up there. Kansas isn't ready for winter yet! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYou have few worries when it comes to snow and I'm not sending any your way.
DeleteThe one year that we got October snow, there was still colour in the park, and I got some nice photos.
ReplyDeleteWe've had snow many times with leaves still on the trees. It's different.
DeleteIt looks pretty when it first comes down. I am not ready for snow yet.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and happy week ahead!
lovely white stuff viewed from the comfort of my computer chair next to a hot radiator. You must have always been used to long, snowy winters Red. Here in the North of England we often get a drop before Christmas but it is only 'wet stuff' and goes straight away. Some years we get no snow at all and few frosts and one year Winter saved it all up and then presented us with a run of very sharp frosts ib April. Played havoc with the garden.
ReplyDeleteYou don't get any real winter. I would prefer snow to rain and drizzle.
DeleteWe had our first frost. The snow won’t be far behind.
ReplyDeleteThe first killing frost we had was just before the snow
DeleteHappy belated birthday, Red! Too bad about the snow!! Be careful!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Snow is just part of life.
DeleteYes, it looks your snowy season has definitely begun. Here it is rainy season. Yours is so much prettier. Take care there and stay nice and warm.
ReplyDeleteI don't like rain and mist in winter. It's very uncomfortable.
DeleteOh boy! I always remember that there was a 50/50 chance of snow on the ground by Halloween there. Ugh! Ruined many a great costume for trick-or-treating because a parka had to be worn over top. Stay warm, stay safe!
ReplyDeleteI remember being out with you guys on a bitterly cold evening. I wanted to go back home but you guys wanted to continue.
DeleteI saw the snow storm on the upper regions of our weather man's map as he was explaining the rain forecast for the rest of the week. I thought about those of you up north getting that snow and how I wasn't anywhere near ready for it myself.
ReplyDeleteWe are never ready for snow but snow doesn't care about that.
DeleteWow! Remember your post of Sunday, October 15, 2023, “Beautiful Fall Day”? And remember my comment on that post … “It sure looks like it won’t be too long until the snow flies in Red Deer.” I’m feeling especially good about my prognostication! 😊 (That last word was carefully chosen just for you, dear fellow teacher. 😊)
ReplyDeleteYes, we prognosticated about a few kids.
DeleteFor me it is always a shock, then joy, then I shovel!
ReplyDelete...a one , two, three!
DeleteThat's only ONE of the reasons I left North Dakota!
ReplyDeleteThe other involved two women but your secret is safe with me Bruce.
DeleteWell , you are one of millions who left the prairies.
DeleteDon't listen to that Yorkshireman. He's a scandal monger. Anyway I think there were more than two.
DeleteSnow, snow, snow!
ReplyDeleteHappy dance!
I think of you every time I do a snow post.
DeleteTime for the snowman to return. :)
ReplyDeleteThis snow was a little to dry for snow men.
DeleteOh my! Already, huh. Well, happy shoveling. Take it easy.
ReplyDeleteYes, this year it's early but it can be much later.
DeleteThat would be enough to bring this country to a standstill - just as well that you're made of sterner stuff!
ReplyDeleteWell, it all boils down to equipment and technology.
DeleteIt sure seems early to me for you to be getting snow, but there's a reason I don't live that far north!
ReplyDeleteThis snow is early but it can be much later.
DeleteGlad you don't live near me!
ReplyDeleteAw, you wouldn't like me for a neighbor ?
DeleteYou have got a long winter ahead of you Red! Remember to put your thermal underwear on! Any chance of a picture?
ReplyDeleteA picture of the long underwear? Only if it's hung on the wall. I very rarely use the winter underwear.
DeleteEr... We had our first frost.... I guess that is not nearly so thrilling, though..
ReplyDeleteWe had only two frosts before the snow came.
DeleteI am dreading the snow but at least we don't get it this early like you do! Pace yourself shovelling, Red!
ReplyDeleteYou get the heavy wet snow. Most of the time we get dry powdery snow.
DeleteOh dear. That white stuff already. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteNo worries about cold . We're well prepared.
DeleteSnow in October wow! We still have flowers on the roses...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I can't believe it! I don't think we ever had snow in October when we lived in Illinois. I think. And here I am sweltering in Hawaii. I could use some snow.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that’s a lot of snow already. It looks real pretty until you have to start shoveling or driving in it. Take good care of yourself Red.
