I never imagined I would describe snow as "angry"; yet, here I am. The rain has officially turned into snow, and is coming down by the bucketful.
I wish this camera did the snow fall justice. If you could see how fast these flakes are falling, you'd probably be awed, and little nervous.
In the few moments since I snapped the first photo, my back porch is on its way to being completely covered.
And this is supposed to last until the wee hours of tomorrow morning. This is going to be fun, and by fun, I mean a pain in the hind quarters of my person.
Can winter just end already?!
All photos are mine, taken by me.

I think in some parts of the world it is a totally different winter as compared to previous years. A friend commented on how it has been sunny and warm while another friend complained of this winter being extremely colder then it used to be. Where ever you are and how ever the winter turns out to be in your area, please be safe.
Thanks for sharing
Climate change is real, and just looking at the changes from previous years gives us a bit of evidence of it. Thanks for stopping by.
