First Real Snow
So our first real snow of the season, (more than half an inch) was pretty much last night and this morning. We did get about a half inch of snow on Thanksgiving day, but with the snow from last night and this morning we got about two inches of snow in total and it was still lightly snowing.
Last year we had our first snow on October 28th, so pretty much a month late from the last couple of years. These were taken with my smart phone so not the best quality at all, but I did not want to chance my big camera getting any moisture on it.
That was the view before we began our Sunday outing. The day before Thanksgiving we had that slight warm up and freeze, so there is a little bit of ice under the snow. Compacted snow is not bad to walk on, but fresh loose snow over ice can be a nightmare, you just do not know if there is ice under it or not, so the shoes had the ice cleats put on to clear the snow from the car.
Still a little light snow falling, and through the windshield and it is a bit blurry, but that is the track out and I just wanted to have a picture of that view a reminder. in three months by mid February there will be piles and the driveway will be narrower.
Here is what it looked like on Wednesday.
This last picture is pretty washed out. Snow has a tendency to do that to pictures, but if you look close you can see the in and out tracks of my tires.
Over-all November was pretty barren of snow. It was nice to see some, and it may be mid week before we get another snow fall once this one is over. I just hope we do not get another slight warm up, it was a good snowfall temperature today hovering between 24F and 27F. So some moisture, and good compacting snow for snow balls and snowmen.
