Snow (ball) - dance of the merry ones

For a week now, I have been planing to put up "The Heron and the ... " but continue to put it off.  And today I want to remember some friends who cannot be here. However, first, the promised snows of the past few days with more to come - like later this evening!

So the west toward Leacock:

There are probably 10 hours between thes photos - like I am not counting individual flakes, although I can:

 - no picnic just now, even on the balcony or above:

 Looking NNE:

Not much to see beyond 200m.

And toward Rama:

After the "theatre" the lights come back up:

And to the west where I started:

And on the ground:

Not much to show for the winds and waves,

WOB

April, April, can't stand that ...

This is maybe unexpected this morning, -4C and snow since 5:06 AM prayers.

Snow on the yule log, but nothing on the Rock Lake fairy lights. There is clear and present danger.

And there were signs of the yeti:

And the wind, the wind chill and the drifting snow:

I was out here in bare feet and shorts, short-sleeved T-shirt ...

Winter Storm Warning

Significant snow with ice pellets continuing today into tonight. Freezing rain Guess I won't put the picnic table together just yet.

W O B - as in its chilly!
