February and the First Snow

Yes, can you believe it is February and we are in the midst of our first real snow of the winter?  I was beginning to think this was going to be a snowless winter.  After all, January had very mild temperatures and even yesterday the high was in the 60's.  But then this morning, true to the weatherman's prediction, it began to snow.

If you look closely, you can see the very large snowflakes that were falling this morning.  This is a color photo but there just wasn't any color showing.  Now the snow has changed to a fine snow.  When the snow began to fall, I ran outside to rescue these daffodils.  That's how warm it has been, the daffodils were beginning to bloom.

It is really very pretty, covering only the trees and shrubs at first. 

Now even the sidewalks, roads and cars are covered.

Just a reminder to hop over to Studio Waterstone to post a photo of your own or just to check out the other photos posted there each Sunday.

Happy creating,
Carol
