After torturing me with well over two months of UN-RE-LENT-ING rain, the temperature finally dropped low enough for this to happen …
Our backyard – the bean pyramid, our newly enclosed patio, and falling snow
It’s not much, just a handful of centimeters, but there’s more in the forecast.
Will we, or nil we, the Seasons turn … The Summer Tree takes on new foliage and becomes the Winter Tree …
Wet snow drapes the windsock low

I’m sure there’s more to come. Colder temps too, so it will probably stick around.

We’ve had the rain too… and just one brief flurry of snow on the hills… but they keep forecasting it. And me and the dog keep hoping it will come when we can play and not when I have a long drive ahead 😉

Yes, playing in it is so much more fun than driving in it. 🙂

We’re currently up to our tailfeathers in blowing snow (40kph) and fast disappearing everything under fast-growing drifts! 😀
We’ve done all our ‘storm-prepping’ if the power goes, which it’s liable to do under these conditions, and we’re sitting quietly, reading, doing a bit of computer work, watching the snow.
My idea of bliss! 🙂

Heh, heh, heh, 😀 I do … not sticking my nose out there but it looks like we had at least 30cm in about 2 hours, and now most of the clouds have blown away and the moon is scudding in and out of the next wave of clouds.

I would have to be playing out in it with the dog 😉

We’re still having the unrelenting rain – I would settle for some nice frost. I love your tree.

At least frosts are crisp. Unrelenting rain is a muddy, boggy, floody, mess.

Your tree looks amazing, Widds… wish we could have a little snow…

I’m going to miss that tree.
It turned into a giant slushie today and we’re expecting an arctic outflow this evening, so, tomorrow’s view will be … interesting. 🙂

The wind’s gusting, the snow’s swirling, not much falling from the sky anymore though … we might venture out to clear the footpath, but that’s about it. 🙂

Nope … our only adventure out there was to shovel the snow off the footpath and driveway, a necessity where we live. It was exhilarating, but very, very, extra-very, cold. 🙂

I don’t mind being out in the cold if I’m enjoying it, but a nice snug hobbit-hole for all other occasions is required. 🙂

Interesting question 🙂 … had to think about this for a bit and review my records … no discerning weather/seasonal pattern. I know what some of my triggers are, but sometimes they just show up of their own accord.

I’ve only experienced snow once, on a visit to relies in Hungary, and I didn’t like it one bit. Commiserations?

Always attracted to it.
Ever since I can remember I always wanted to live in high pointy mountains, not ones that are being worn down, (although the Blue Mountains, where I lived for about a decade came close) evergreens and four seasons and snow.
Maybe it’s being born in England. Even though I was only 2 when we emigrated, that early imprinting must’ve taken. The North-Western hemisphere is where my roots are. 🙂

Wow…I was born in Hungary, but in the capital, so no real connection to ‘country’. I imprinted on Wagga Wagga where we spent our first year in Australia. I’ll never be a bush girl and into camping and all that, but I love the muted palette of olive greens, golden browns and the light, that special light.
I spent a year in Europe in my twenties and loved it, but in the end I longed for home. 🙂
