Being newer to living in a snowy climate, I don't know the names of the types of snow.
With rain, it poured, it was a driving rain, drizzled, spat. I knew rain.
Here, I'm clueless. It's really pouring snow out there doesn't seem to work.
The other day it was coming down like crazy in these insanely big flakes. A blizzard? I saw one 365er that lives by me mention it as such.
Whatever it was, it was beautiful and I tried to capture it here.
Next year, I'm gonna keep my mouth shut instead of wishing for more snow. In the past few weeks, I mentioned needing more snow for the season. One more good snow to play in. It had been pretty dry so far.
Well after two or three good snows, and countless shovelling later, and an entire snowy week off of school...no more opening my big fat trap.
School is on today (finally). Sadly two of my three will stay home with the stomach flu:(. Hope we are all well and back to normal tomorrow.
Stay warm. And if you know the snow terms, please enlighten me.
Beautiful winter scene! Glad to hear school is open. I am sorry that the little ones are sick. I hope they feel better tomorrow. I think the whole winter has been one big blizzard!
@hippiechick13 At least I've gotten to see the snow shoveler a bunch. And I'm getting a workout shoveling, too. Thanks for the helpful link. All those terms gave me a snowy headache;-).
Sure looks like a heavy snowfall, Amanda. Very good shot. I think a blizzard is when a strong wind drives the falling snow horizontally: you can't see and it's frightening. Stay warm and dry if you can.
Beautiful shot of our Ohio "blizzard" It looks so pretty against the trees! (So sorry to hear that two of your kids are sick with the flu--hope they feel better soon).
I'm honestly envious. (I'm sort of hoping that by saying that I might get one last good snowstorm for the season.) It's so beautiful when it snows like this. Sometimes they call a sudden burst of snow a Thunder Snow. I don't know if what you captured was exactly that, but it could well be. Here's hoping your family is well long before all this white stuff melts.
