A surprise visit from Mother Nature

For those of us who live in Edmonton, a day like this in March is just par for the course. We were having beautiful weather and almost all of the snow had melted and then this storm hit around lunch time today.
I took these shots downtown on my way home from work. It is now 7:30 in the evening and the snow is still coming down. It is supposed to continue through until tomorrow
I may have to change my plans for a nice hike this weekend
Now it is time to go and pull out my winter coat and mitts and boots for tomorrow morning

[summerfield]

awww, schucks! that just sucks, doesn't it? i hope we don't get that but rain's predicted here for the weekend, but mid teens temperature. hope it gets better there, too. nice collage, though.

[Cindy Rez]

Nice spring snow..we have been having record high temps here so I don't think we will get a spring snow this year..but you never know!

[Kimberlee]

[Kimmi]

:) Probably no hike this weekend? Great collage

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Ooh, you got snow. It went to around 80 degrees here today. Lovely collage.

[Sheila]

Wow, snow!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh no! Please don't tell me snow is on the way!! All my friends will be telling me "I told you so!" as I have been insisting that we will NOT get snow now! Great collage on the whimsy of Mother Nature.

[Brian Baptie]

Lines up with the strange weather everywhere else!!

[Kerri]

Oh wow! Great collage

[Mary]

I know what you mean!! Snow one day and sunny and mild weather the next!

[Susan Klassen]

Nice collage. I do remember the spring snow storms in Edmonton.

[karenann]

I just LOVE this collage, Brian! We had almost eighty today. But it's raining tonight and who knows what else is coming. Love your snow photos .. each and every one.

[bkb in the city]

@kimfaria Thanks Kim You would have to tell me how nice it is there wouldn't you hahaha

[bkb in the city]

@cindyrez Yes with someone as tempermental as Mother Nature you really do not know

[Beth]

Nice collage! When all that cold weather drifts South and hits our hot air that is when the tornados start happening.

[Debbie Orlando]

This is usually our spring, as well. Not this year! I love your collage so we can see different shots of Edmonton's weather.

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield Thanks I guess I just have to be a little more paitent

[bkb in the city]

@debsphotos You are welcome. Now If I could just get rid of all this snow

[bkb in the city]

@vernabeth Thanks. I hope those stay away

[bkb in the city]

@karenann I am glad you have enjoyed them I can not wait until I can start taking some nice spring and summer shots again

[bkb in the city]

@cjwhite Glad you enjoyed it

[bkb in the city]

@zuzana I never wish snow on anyone

[naladka]

Nice collage of a snowy spring day. March looks exactly the same in my country!

[Menarose]

The same here for the last few days - today is sunny - then cold weather again.

[bkb in the city]

@titam But soon the nice weather will be here to stay

[bkb in the city]

@naladka Thanks

[Paula]

What is UP with our strange Canadian weather recently????

[bkb in the city]

@pwallis I wish I knew

[Ellen Young]

Wow! I love snow but i think the Spring bug has touched me already! ..i used to be a northerner so i can feel the pain! :)

[bkb in the city]

@ellimae I am getting that spring itch for sure

[Jo Ann Bellone]

Gee is that ISO distortion? I don't recognize that white stuff. Great Shots.

[bkb in the city]

@jolefont Thanks Jo-Ann

[Darlene]

What great photos of the snow. We had 70 degree weather yesterday and today the dark clouds came in and the wind and cold started up. Rain in the forecast for tomorrow and the weekend. The flowers we saw tonight are weathered as it gets warm then cold, windy and raining. No snow, you can keep that, but what a mixed up season or two we are having.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

awesome. love the falling snow.

[bkb in the city]

@http365proj Well I am glad you like it

[bkb in the city]

@darsphotos The weather has been something else this year for sure

[Shanne]

nice collage of the snowy weather - and unseasonable warmth often means a later come back from Mother Nature - although we're properly into spring here.

[Peter de Graaff]

Interesting montage, just as it seemed to be getting warmer

[Susie]

How frustrating!!! I can't believe we have had 3 days of sun so far this week here...still not put away winter clothes yet though lol ...great capture :D

[Margo E. Dearbhail]

great collage.. you are getting all of our snow!

[Michael Elliott]

Snow? Snow? I didn't know that existed any more the way we've all been talking spring has sprung and unusually warm temps around the planet it seems. Nice shots makes me feel like Christmas around the corner. Hahah. Have a nice weekend.

[Debbi M]

Great collage -- glad you are getting the snow!! But our nice weather is changing next week.

[Anne ❀]

that storm better not keep coming east! nice collection of pics

[Diana]

We had the same Spring Day here too! in early morning snow and by ten the sun was shining! Temps are still under 10 degrees! Awesome collage!

[Christie Hicks]

Yikes! Snow? Hope it doesn't last long and you're back in spring weather ASAP.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Nice collage Brian...makes a change from all the sunny spring pics going up on 365!

[Kalexa]

Well captured Spring snow shots! Hope the weather gets brighter and warmer for you.

[Pam Hawkes]

You have a good collage of this silly weather. We are having much the same here in Calgary.

[santina]

la natura è libera e può fare quello che vuole, qui in italia inizia adesso a fare caldo
