Let It Snow,......

Let it snow,.........

let it snow,........
We had a 3 day stretch of bitterly cold weather - daytime highs of -10, nighttime lows of -20+ - and thankfully most of the time winds were pretty still. When it did pick up the windchill was brutal like a saw. Yesterday afternoon it broke, got much milder and the snow began. It came down gently and steadily through the afternoon and evening lightening up by the time I went to bed. Depending on the region the accumulation was between 2 and 5 inches.

These shots were taken when I was leaving work this morning after running the staff meeting. Top to bottom they are scanning right to left across the grounds in front of 'the house' - my workplace. There was a little more fine light snow falling, partly obscuring the sun and diffusing the light so they aren't real sharp. It was peaceful in the neighbourhood at that early time of day with few people up and out clearing up after the storm.

Back when the house was built, I think by the way the trees are growing, that there must have been a circular driveway for horses and buggies, and early cars. Where the kitchen is located I believe was a carriage house originally.

March has come roaring in like a lion and so should leave like a lamb. Here's hoping for some warmer weather to come along soon. The new fallen snow is pretty and all but I'm due for some spring-like colour to zest things up.
