Winter has arrived where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.
No, we aren't in the part of New York which received a major snow dump. But it was a shock. Less than two weeks ago, we had a wonderful Sunday afternoon when it got to 76 degrees F (24.4C) and we had an outdoor lunch with several other family members in a local park. The following Sunday (November 14) we got our first snow flurries and first snow squall.
So it wasn't much, but we are trying to adjust to the suddenly cold weather and the gloomy skies that dominate our late falls and winters.
The snow and sky on Wednesday. Part of the snow had already melted because it went above freezing. It looks strange on the green grass.
Yesterday, we had our second snow squall. It came down as ice pellets and the visibility wasn't as badly impacted as many we've had.
What happened to summer? Or even the first week of November?

...gloomy can be merely a state of mind.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I woke up this morning to see the snow actually covering everything. Too cold for it to melt away. I can remember having Thanksgiving with the sun shining and nice temps. It has been miserable here all week. I am not ready for this.
ReplyDeleteIt’s cold here, too, but no snow yet
ReplyDeleteHere's to getting out of FB jail soon! And thanks for the images. :)
ReplyDeleteWe too went from warm weather to freezing, and now we've had no heat for 2 days.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it just suddenly went cold, didn't it?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a hugh temperature swing!
ReplyDeleteThe snow scenes are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteIn Lahti, Finland we had our first hint of snow this week. It´s almost a time to hibernate.
ReplyDeleteYour first photograph reminded me of when we would visit relatives in southern Idaho at Thanksgiving and Christmas. The snow covering the cultivated fields.
ReplyDeleteYour snow scenes are interesting. 70s then cold enough to snow on plowed fields. Beauty is in the beholder.
