Suburban Snow

Suburban Snow

Uploaded: January 24, 2014

Description


----
This winter season has been wild and stormy all over the U.S. (almost). We are getting clobbered by wind, snow, and frigid temperatures that seem never-ending
----
But this shot of my neighbors' house was taken exactly four years ago. The snow fell quickly and voluminously that year, but it was gentle (apart from uprooting several trees)--at least in my memory.
----
Did some new work on this image, naturally.
----
Shot it with my Canon G9...now in the hands of one of the grandkids.

Same here as what Linda said. It's 1 degree out here right now. No wind as yet, but they are expecting a pretty good one later. Just what we need. #10954719

Winter has that natural ability to add such a beautiful look to any picture as you show here. I love the colors, the look with the trees, that beautiful lamp pole, the house sitting in the back. A lovely winter scene Michelle. #10954799

Instant fave, Michelle. This is a magical capture.

16 below with the wind chill here this morning -- and they say this is balmy compared to what we're expecting next week. #10954896

Beautiful, Michelle! Outstanding capture and image of this winter scene! We've had several weeks of very unusual weather out here on the west coast. Mostly clear with lots of sun, not very warm but lots of sunshine. We are over 10 inches under normal rainfall. #10955325
