And then the snow came! by if1

And then the snow came!

315 - The weather forecast has been warning of snow for several days, and it finally arrived today. Some small overnight flurries, and this morning a much heavier fall, although it doesn't look likely that it will last very long unless the temperature drops a bit more.

This is the view from my bedroom window late this morning.
snowing!!!!!

Don't throw your back shovelling the snow!-)
Nice pic!

Great capture. It only started snowing heavily when I was in work so didn't get chance to capture it.
January 14th, 2013  
It snowed here as well this morning but it has turned to rain and almost gone
January 14th, 2013  
This is lovely!!! So beautiful!!!

Lee
Good idea!! Stay in.
January 14th, 2013  
Luck you. Just a slight covering on the Manx Hills yesterday then rain cleared it all.
January 14th, 2013  
Makes you feel cold just looking at this photo. I'm shut inside now and trying not to think about tomorrow's journey to work with lots more forecast for East Anglia.
January 14th, 2013  
Good shot of it coming down.
January 14th, 2013  
Ours too. Nice capture. Take care with driving
January 14th, 2013  
I like the way you have managed to 'freeze' the snow and get the depth of field as well.
January 14th, 2013  
Suyper capture, it certainly looks like it is snowing! We had a light dusting this morning and then a top up early afternoon. Much more snow is expected tonight.
January 14th, 2013  
Great capture of the snow-fall in action. Strange world, heat-waves here and snow over there. 'twas ever thus.
January 14th, 2013  
beautiful capture. The flakes look HUGE!!!
January 15th, 2013  
Beautiful, I have never seen it snow.

@sebasnikonfreak

Thank you Sebastien - fortunately the snow wasn't too deep and was melting almost as fast as it was falling, so no need for shovelling!

@chris17

Thank you Christine - the heavy snow didn't last too long - just long enough for me to get a shot!

@purplehaze12

Thank you Hazel - most of our snow has now gone too.

@monkeykid

Thank you Therese - it's nice to look at but I'm not so keen on being out in it!
January 15th, 2013  
@alisonp

Thank you Alison - most of the snow here is now gone, but it's very cold and icy now

@lucycakes

I bet you can see some on the hills of Bowland and the Lake District!

@gamelee

Thank you Lee - it's amazing how good snow looks from inside a warm building!

@dolphin

Thank you Molly - most snow here has gone. Being so low lying, York rarely has snow for long.

@busylady

Thank you Judith - it came down heavily for a while, but much of it has now gone.
January 15th, 2013  
@pyrrhula

Thank you Pyrrhula - most snow has now cleared but the roads and paths are very icy. You take care too!

@janturnbull

Thank you Janet, that was the result I was after, although I was a bit surprised when it came out OK!
January 15th, 2013  
@steviepix

Thank you Stevie, we've had a few more falls, but most of it has now gone.
January 15th, 2013  
@tonydebont

Thank you Tony - fortunately not too much snow and most of it has now cleared, and I think I prefer the snow to the heatwave that you are having - far too hot for me! I hope that you haven't been affected by any of the wildfires that seem to have broken out in several parts of Australia

@adifferenteye

Thank you Dar, the flakes were large and watery for a while. It only formed a thin ground covering and most of it has now melted
January 15th, 2013  
@todimf

Thank you Cecilia - watching snow fall is lovely, but it's no fun being out in it!
January 15th, 2013  
@if1 Thanks Ian. We've been lucky so far. The highway has been closed due to fire both North and South of us but nothing in the immediate area.
January 15th, 2013  
Great capture - looks very wintry!
January 16th, 2013  
Lovely view but I'm glad I live in the subtropics and never have to feel the coldness of snow... Great capture..
January 16th, 2013  
great capture of that snow falling!!! looks like a blizzard alright!!
January 16th, 2013  
Oh wow!!! Y'all have a heavy winter! Cool shot!
January 16th, 2013  
@tonydebont

Well, I'm glad to hear that you are safe

@ladyjane

Thank you Ladyjane - the snow did come down heavily for a while.
January 16th, 2013  
@roslynjoy

Thank you Roslyn - it looks great through a window from a warm room, but it's not so good out in it! You are quite fortunate to avoid it altogether, although it can make great photos!
January 16th, 2013  
@kdimagery

Thank you Kd, it did come down heavily for a while, but then started melting. Now it's frozen again and we have very icy roads and footpaths.

@clmiller

Thank you Caren - we could really do with some of that southern sunshine to get rid of it!
January 16th, 2013  
Lovely photo
