April Fools Day or Mother Nature's Cruel Joke

Well after a week of nice weather and all of the snow melted we woke up to the ground completely covered in all of this white stuff. I guess it was appropriate for today considering it is April Fool's Day.
Tomorrow it is supposed to be quite nice again and all of this should be gone in a couple of days

[Kerri]

How beautiful

[Shanne]

lovely capture of the snow, but oh how depressing when you'd just got used to spring

[karenann]

Oh ... we just had this on Friday. Gone now, but I wonder if it's coming again! Lovely capture .. would have have it in December tho, Debbie. :)

[Jim]

May flowers will be back soon

[Brian Baptie]

Nature doesn't know what it is doing at the present!!

[J A Byrdlip]

The more we try to control Mother Nature, the more she shows us that she is in control.

[Pyrrhula]

Love the trees in this pic and the red color of the bus.

[Debbie Orlando]

The shot is great but I'd be mad at Mother Nature if she played this prank on us here. I think we're done with the white stuff this year. :-)

[Debbi M]

Wow. We just had rain. And then more rain! Very pretty though. New snow is always pretty

[Agnes Zonnestraaltje]

although it may be a fools day it is a great pict you could take

[Maaikel]

O well no snow here but spring does seem over! Cold again, just above 0 C

[Ellen E]

It's so pretty! The branches are glistening!

[Peter de Graaff]

Looks bleak, and guess it isn't a joke, that it seems a wonder.

[Sandie Reardon]

Great shot for April Fool's Day. Although I must say that would have been better if it had happened in my Hawaii Kai neighborhood. May I borrow your photo? LOL

[Dave Schofield]

ha, also in Britain its forcasted snow and it is now sunny. The weather has gone crazy!

[santina]

beautiful shot, nature has done the trick!!! patience spring will come

[mervyn hobbs]

excellent photo

[mabuss]

A beautiful April fool's joke!! Nice picture!

[Ian Fisher]

A lovely atmospheric shot! - and you are not alone with the snow. Having had sunshine and temperatures up towards 20 degrees centigrade over the past few days, we now have a forecast for snow on Tuesday night!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's very pretty but a tough pill to swallow after the warmer weather. It's cold rainy and damp here. But we do need the rain after a drier winter. Nice shot!

[Shirley Banford]

Well...didn't she just get you! Luckily it'll go away soon.

[Julie Cortens]

Well it better not be heading our way! it rained all day here in Saskatoon - so hopefully that was the warmer version of the system that hit Edmonton.

[Rob Crosby]

Nice shot and "pleasant" reminder of what WINTER is supposed to be like.
Been through Edmonton many times. Love the area. Great people.

[Kimmi]

Looks cold!

[ladyjane]

Oh, THERE's the snow. ;) Well, it won't last long, anyway.

[Bob G]

Yuk. That's no joke

[Elizabeth]

Beautiful shot!

[Brenda Baird]

We woke up to a white ground on Thursday or Friday morning but it was short lived! Hopefully your's will too!

[Missy B]

Oh no! It does sound like an April Fools surprise. It makes for a very pretty photo though. It was 80 degrees in my part of the world today...hoping it warms back up for you, too.

[Cindy Rez]

Nice shot..sorry about your fools from mother nature...we had one a few years back it was a biggie!

[Shirley Chetwynd]

amazing shot . i like the red truck

[Deb B]

Not a funny joke at all. Oh well. Spring will come again.

[Karen Sadler]

Although I agree we've had enough of it, snow is so soothing and this photo really captures that softening that happens so quietly in the night!

[Diana]

Mother Nature played an April Fool's joke on you guys too, I see! By the end of the day, we were back in sulight and snow has all but melted...Crazy Spring weather!

[Beth]

It is a cruel but beautiful April Fool's joke. LOL Nice capture.

[bkb in the city]

[Susie]

Beautiful image....we are forecast snow in the next few days too...and that's after temperatures of over 20C!!!! mother nature sure likes playing tricks eh? lol :D

[Aleksandra]

Thats pretty impressive to see after your nice week, especially seeing as we don't get snow here at all.

[Courtney]

Oh, this is scary! A great reminder that Mother Nature can do what she wants

[Dana Palermo]

Wow! That's very eerie looking!

[Howard Steele]

wow looks chilly

[Diane]

It's a beautiful snow scene, but I know people in Edmonton are probably ready for spring weather! Hope you have a nice day in spite of the April Fool's Day prank Mother Nature played.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Beautiful scene Brian...amazing Mother nature!!

[Disha Parekh]

I don't understand why the snow is coming back. It is supposed to snow this weekend in England too, after a week of brilliant weather. But hey, at least it made for a beautiful picture!

[Cindy Muir]

Beautiful shot - but I'm certainly glad that's your snow and not mine! :)

[Carole]

While we just got the warmest week on record, strange world. Nice shot though

[stephanie dp]

those trees are so delicate though sorry for your April surprise!

[Melissa]

It sure was a crule joke. Thank goodness it cleared up and turned into a beautiful evening.

[bkb in the city]

@mad_mel I hope this was the end of the snow and now we can enjoy a nice spring

[Linda]
