Today is Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and the official start to winter. We ushered out autumn yesterday with snow down to sea level. Although there has been snow in the hills in recent weeks, this is the first seen by flatlanders in a couple of years. Rain, with more predicted, means it’s not likely to last. So I guess if one dreams of a white Christmas yesterday was an excuse for an early celebration.
It’s the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. Stay warm and dry.
Very scenic photos, Kay. Enjoy the small spots of the color red. Ah, yes! Today is winter solstice, but it’s already too chilly for me to get too excited about it. Have a lovely week-end.
Nice to see you getting out into the snow. Keep on clicking.
Doesn’t everything look great with a few inches of snow? So long as the snow is well-behaved and melts soon?
Your commentYou have to admit, the snow looks much prettier than rain!
The rain overnight certainly did a job on the snow. A few lumps from snow plows and a snowman here and there were all that remained today. If I hadn’t photographed it I might not otherwise believe it. @Stealing Hamilton you’re absolutely right. Much prettier than rain!
It looks really cold but beautiful!
