We got SNOW!

I woke to the guy on the radio telling us that snow was on the way.  I got up and checked the forecast on the web, but there was no indication of snow.  We had a bit of rain at that time, but no snow.
 
So I wrapped up well and set off for work.  By the time I reached the half way mark, the snow was falling.
 
 
By the time I got to work we had big flakes falling and it was settling just about everywhere.
 
Couldn't resist taking a shot of berries with snow on them...

 
It has stopped falling now - not sure if it will hang around or melt or even if we might get some more.  Will keep an eye on how it is going - might have to bail early today to avoid getting snowed in!

Snow! Hope it doesn't freeze before you head home. How do you handle the icy conditions on the bike?

And any updates on the Movember status? I finally shaved mine off this weekend.

Agg79 - Ice is the one thing I avoid on my bike - the roads have been salted so I should get home OK.

Good point about the Mo! I will do a post about that soon.

Snow in December! Oh no! The Mayans were right! The world is coming to an end!

Rock Chef said...

Wigsf - It's true! We don't normally get anything until January or February! In fact we are more likely to get a White Easter than a White Christmas.

I am SO jealous! I think snow is what I need to get out of my Bah Humbug-ness. But with 70 degree temps, it's not likely to happen. Things do have a tendency to change quickly around here though....
Beautiful pictures! Hope you managed the ride home safely!

I'm jealous! We need snow SO badly. Stay warm!!

Rock Chef said...

ShadowRun300 - I am sure you will get some soon - don't you just wait for it to blow down from Canada?

Abby - I will remind you that you said that some time soon! :-)

I am so very jealous of your snow! Please send some to New Jersey!

Rock Chef said...

Meleah - Are you sure? After that storm you want snow?

meleah rebeccah took me by surprise wanting snow in NJ.

I always got the snow-quivers, watching it fall through the glow of the street lights. Now that we're in Florida. . . well. . . at least Stud's not bitching about shoveling the driveway.

That is a beautiful capture of the snow on the berries! So Christmasy!

I'm glad you made it through to work without any trouble. I'm still seeing cyclists on the roads while I drive to work, which is strange for these parts. It's been a milder than normal winter again, but there's snow in the forecast for Friday and the weekend. We'll see if it happens!

That last shot looks like it should be on a Christmas card. Beautiful!

So are you one of the people who loves or hates snow?

Rock Chef said...

Lotta Joy - Well the weather is getting a bit random lately - maybe you will get a fall in Florida!

Terri - I'll be watching out for snow reports from you! I am guessing that if it snows now that will more or less be it until it melts next year?

Riot Kitty - I LOVE snow. It is probably my favourite weather, all told, even though it makes a lot of extra work. Of course, our snow is not to be compared with that in the northern USA or Canada!
