Yesterday morning the landscape in my neighbourhood was grey, brown and dreary. Most of the leaves have fallen off of the trees leaving the bare branches reaching for the sky. It felt like winter had already arrived, especially as snow was falling during the walk to work.
The snow did not stop falling and continued throughout the day. The amount of snow covering the ground was unexpected and I messaged home for my daughter to bring me my winter boots. While walking home, I was glad that I had been able to reach her – inches of snow lay on the ground and the salt coating the sidewalks would have damaged my good shoes.
While walking home in the twilight, I could not help stop but admire the scene before me. With the twinkling lights and the gently falling snow, the scene before me looked like a Winter wonderland: a scene that made me smile in appreciation.
Our second snowfall of the season will linger a little longer than the first. The children in the playground will certainly appreciate it.
Have you yet experienced the first snow of the season?

It’s a winter wonderland to be sure! Of course, it hampers travel and can cause other issues, but what beauty…since I live in Beverly Hills – where it has NEVER snowed EVER – I must travel for hours to reach mountains where snow has still yet to fall!

As we are used to the snow, travel is not hampered too much. The problem arises when there is ice on the road and train tracks.

Snow certainly transforms a winter scene. Looks so cold there, Colline.

It was cold today – it is -13c at the moment – but we do experience colder so Canadians call it mild 😄

A far cry from South Africa. 😅 Hubby and I are sitting outside on the patio in shorts and flip flops.

It is pretty, just too early for me 😉 The 13 F/ -11 C temps tonight are too cold for the first half of November!

Those early snows can be beautiful.

They can be. Though a few days later, it no longer looks so pretty.
