Fresh Fallen Snow!

Fresh fallen snow at sunset produces interesting scenes. Like most posts here I didn't plan it that way. While I took my dog out to do her thing, I noticed the light from the sky. Orange,blue and pink pastel colors above so I gathered my camera and headed off.

Another week with snow but at least we had a bit of everything with rain and warm(er) temps thrown in. This post I added a Gloucester welcome for the tall ship Picton Castle from July 2009.

29 Days Till Spring!

The meteorologists had it wrong! Most said we'd get hit with a blizzard and 12+ inches of snow. Well we did get snow and wind but the average snow fall in my yard was 5 inches. The timing was bad for me, I had to drive to work in the middle of the so called blizzard. Instead of taking the highway I choose to leave about an hour and a half early and take the shore route. It was messy and the drive averaged about 20 mph but I made it on time with time to spare. Crews along the North Shore did a great job and for the most part the roads were clear for my ride home. I decided to go home the same route and see what photo ops I could come upon. But I start below with a few shots from the week.

Sunk!

The days are longer and the snow is deeper!

The snow continues, it's becoming an expected weekly event this winter. There's no sense to complain, just take it in with stride then welcome Spring......if it arrives!
