The Sky As It Prepares to Snow #SkywatchFriday

It's St. Patrick's Day and, here in the United States, many are preparing to celebrate.

Last Friday, though, we were preparing for snow.


Spouse and I went down to the park a little after 10am.   The sun was shining through clouds.

A slightly different view.
We walked some more, where the clouds weren't as thick.  At the bottom of the photo are Canada geese.

A tree.

We went back a little later.  The clouds had continued to thicken as the morning progressed.

Totally clouded over by early afternoon.

About 3:30pm, the snow began.  A male woodpecker pecked at a suet cake as large flakes fell around him.

Joining Yogi and other skywatchers, as I do each Friday, for #SkywatchFriday.

  4. That totally clouded over picture could be the cover of a horror novel. Pretty, but haunting.

  7. From blue sky to snow! Funny how the woodpecker doesn't seem to mind the weather at all.
