Big Snow

We had a freak weather happening today as I sat with my senior Friends in a McDonald's. It started snowing with flakes the size of large potato chips. I rushed home to grab my capture the event before it ended and this is one of the shots I photographed. Look at the tree trunk and vehicle wheel wells to see the individual size of the flakes. I've never seen anything like this.

Nope, only about 15 minutes after I took that picture. I just looked out my window and it has all melted already. So much for the blizard of 2011. LOL

Yes, I am lucky. That's why I rushed home. Here's a Black & White version of the snow shot.

I like the B & W shot too; hate the snow! Glad it didn't stick, Bob.
