April Snow

We had a late-season snow storm over the weekend (don't have an official total). It turned out to be a heavy wet snow, so I couldn't abide not talking some pictures of it all. It was snowing quite heavily when I took the pics, so I had to duck for cover either in the doorway of the house or in the garage, standing back far enough to not get the camera wet. No pics of our house as I'd have to cross the street and didn't want to take the camera out into the wet mess.

This pic is of the tree down the street:

Stepped onto the pack patio to take this one at the height of one of the heavier bouts of snow:


Played around with the zoom and got a few good shots (once I looked at the photos at 100%. I've cropped these so that the good stuff (close-up of the snow) could be seen.






Sophie absolutely loves playing the snow and had a wonderful time running around in it. Oscar, on the other hand -- the softie -- didn't care for it too much and was anxious to get back into the nice warm house after a minute or so.

I love the snow! In my opinion, we had an entirely too mild a winter and not anywhere near enough precipitation for my liking. At least we got a couple of good storms in before the end of the season.

The forecast for the rest of the week is calling for 70 degree temps. The streets are already mostly dry. By tomorrow, the snow will be all but melted. *sigh* It was good while it lasted.
