1st Real Snow of the Year – 2009 Dec 6
So, last night it began to snow, leaving a nice, white blanket of the stuff today. The kids have gone out to play in it and its reasonably peaceful inside the house at the moment. It snowed once for an hour ot so back in October, but there was nothing left on the ground to prove that it truly was a snow day. A few days ago, we encountered the same stuff, only less. I figure that I can’t really call it the first snowfal unless it sticks around long enough to show a litle proof, so today is the day.
Its December and the 1st day of winter is coming upon us, so its time that we looked the part. Apparently, there are lots of folks around here who have been feeling the same. The excitement of people in the area is spilling over onto their Twitter and Facebook status updates, like this snowfall is some kind of great significant sign. I guess it is. I wrote about it, too, right?
Perhaps its the visual queue that signifys a change. With the way our government has created mass panic over the season’s new flu and the past year of economic slump affecting all of our lives in unpredictable ways, its nice to see that some things change and aren’t actually a bad thing. But, who am I to say? I’m just a guy who woke up and saw a pretty scene out of his front window that just needed to be captured by a lens.
Surprised you aren’t out there with your kids playing. You always hit me as a big kid
We had our first snow fall yesterday too, but it’s not much to write about. It was very cooperative and just stuck to the grass and roofs. It’ll probably be all gone by nightfall. Guess it doesn’t qualify then.
@Skyetrueheart – You get to make your own rules.
It’s nice the first snowfall, but that’s all I care to get really. :p
You get snow in December, we get rain in November. I’m going to upload a few photos now; though of course rain-washed streets are not as photogenic as a snow covered house
Boy I wish I could insert a picture in here. We had almost that much here same day. That’s right folks! In Baytown, Texas- right by Galveston. LOL It only stuck for a little while but it was a record breaker. Your picture is great Corey!
@Diane – wow that’s wild!
The snow is becoming a luxury these days. In my region in the winter if it happens to be snow is a celebration. Years ago, snow was 2 moths of the winter. Now if there is a few days it is very good.
Beautiful. It almost looked like a grayscale photo.
