Snow Warning!

 We're under a snow warning today - not a snow squall warning, nor a winter storm warning, just a snow warning, for 15-20 cm. (6-8") today and tonight.  That's a bit unusual here, but it's been snowing just a little every day or two, so it just keeps on accumulating.  Usually we get a 'January thaw' that melts some snow and collapses the rest,  but not this year.  In sheltered spots it's accumulated to over 2' deep!

Until the past hour it had been snowing since early morning here, sometimes quite heavily like this.

The white 'coffin of snow atop the planter just keeps on growing, and it's grown more since.

The 'ostrich' is close to disappearing in the snow.

Shooting against the evergreens is the best way to show the snow that is actually falling, big fluffy flakes of white.

  1. That is a lot of snow. Your mound does tell the truth as to how much you are getting. The yellow lawn chair is the only bright spot in your photos.

  2. I woke up this morning expecting to see a lot of snow, but there was only about two centimetres on the driveway and no more has fallen - yet! I have the drive and the sidewalk cleaned right down to asphalt and paving respectively, so at least I will have a clean start when the predicted dump arrives.

  3. We got none overnight and the sun came out this afternoon. I wonder if we will get as much as they predict tonight. Stay safe and warm!

  4. We have the same warning coming for us. There was light snow here this morning.

    Usually we'll have a January thaw or a February thaw which might last a few hours, but that hasn't happened either this year.

  6. Lovely winter photos. We've been getting a bit of snow every day too, but you like you have a bit more than we do.

  8. We were so surprised to see sunshine today. Looking out the window tonight I can see I will be spending time on the end of my snow shovel again tomorrow.

  9. It's many years, decades even, since we had snowfall like that. You've got some excellent shots of the falling snow.

  10. Just wait until that yellow chair disappears beneath the snow.

  11. It is still snowing here, but I don't have to go out until 11 for our weekly grocery pickup. I am counting on clear driveway and road by then.

  12. Yup, not sure what they call it then. Looks like a snow warning, snow squall and winter warning all in one! Lots of falling and blowing white stuff, that's for sure!

  13. You are definitely getting quite a bit of snow. Ours is on the way out, with rain falling now and causing huge puddles across the streets. We are above freezing overnight these days, so we are on the way back to normalcy.
