Saturday, November 19, 2016, the Southern Tier of upstate New York.
Witch hazel in bloom in the 67 degree F weather (19.4 degrees Celsius).
The next day.
Sunday afternoon. Snow on the scarecrow and southernwood plant.
On planters.
And then the snow REALLY started to fall. So far, officially, we have over 15 inches.
Not bad for the first snow of the season.
Five cities in upstate New York compete for a "golden snowball" award each year. For once, I don't appreciate us being in first place.
Because, gee, it's still fall. Isn't it?
Day 22 of NaBloPoMo.
Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about my photography adventures, flowers, gardening, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.

ReplyDeleteAnd, I understand your total is nigh 100 cm! Woo Hoo!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks like winter arrived early in your area. Stay warm.
ReplyDelete15 inches? Wow! That's a lot. Those pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteWow. We only got a dusting on Saturday. Sorry, but better you tan me. Although we are supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow, and I would prefer snow.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a lot of snow! I've never seen real snow since it does not snow around the place I live in India. Those are beautiful clicks!
ReplyDeleteSnow is beautiful but I can do without the freezing cold temperatures. No snow here yet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a day makes!
ReplyDeleteWow! Thats an awful lot of snow! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that's crazy snow for overnight!!
ReplyDeleteWe had precipitation on Sunday, too. Of course, ours was only rain, and it was much warmer. Well, first place is a good thing, right ;)
ReplyDeleteIt seems we have comparable snowstorms and snowfall to yours, Alana, here in Maine! And yes, early snowfall when leaves and flowers are still around is always a different sight to see.
