Snow at Last #SkywatchFriday

It seems like just yesterday was New Years Eve.  Now, today is the last Friday of January, and the last Skywatch of January, 2023.

I'm going to keep it simple today.

An ordinary sight for us in the Southern Tier of New York in winter - snow covered trees and a white sky to match.  This and the first photo below were taken on Wednesday.

Here's the local park where spouse and I look at sunsets from time to time.  You've seen this park on my Skywatches from time to time.  This is how it looks after a snow.  The paths in this small park aren't kept up by the town so we will have to wait until the snow on the path melts to walk down there again. 


It's hard for me to take pictures in this weather, although I own gloves that have strips that are supposed to make it work with electronic devices.  Yesterday was so windy I didn't even stay long - no photos.  So instead, I'll share this photo from a part of the Vestal Rail Trail I took on the 18th.  Yes, those are love locks on a bridge over the creek you see below.  Not a good idea, by the way.

We'll leave it here and wish you all a happy weekend.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers each Friday for #SkywatchFriday.

  4. Snow just dresses things up, doesn't it?! Beautiful!

  5. Our local park is similar in that any time it rains, the walking trails are closed due to mud and flooding and such. It's probably not safe to walk there in inclement weather anyway.

  6. Nice photos. It gets cold here in OK but at least it warms up after a few days so we don't have ice the whole season long.

    Something about lovelocks bother me. I never have liked them. At least locally the recreation facilities are putting in special designed installations made for love locks.

  7. No, love locks are not a good idea. They are a stupid idea and when installed in public spaces, they are essentially littering. Let's hope this craze has a short shelf life.

  8. About time! Hope it doesn't mean a long time until spring for you. My forecast for this weekend has a night 17 degrees!

  11. Yep, it's hard to believe that January is almost over. By this time next month we'll be sniffing the air for hints of spring.
