Couple of snaps from home. It's too nasty for taking time with images. Freezing and windy with constant snow. Several inches now.  This our Summer table and chairs lol  Trying to catch the snow blizzard by the street lights with no success  There's about 2-3 inches on the car approx   |

Amazing what a difference a few miles makes - only a short burst of light snow here which quickly turned to rain - none of it ever settled!

Great shots Stuart & Martin... I was wishing it to snow where I live so I could be writing this from home instead of WORK  All I got was rain, rain & more rain... Hope it is a WHITE Christmas....  |

Nice shots Gents. Martin, did you use flash to get the snowflakes to show up like that in your second one ?

Wow! Exciting shots, Martin. You're lucky with the snow Today I had +12C - it was a new monthly record (previous +10C in 2005). Of course, even no evidence of winter - outside it was just the same as early April.  |

Thanks for the comments. Roman, that's some contrast in weather between our two locations. You are getting it mild and we are freezing. Brian, lol, that image would get some hits. I wonder what the neighbours would have thought when they looked out the window and saw her sitting around the table in the bikini. I'm sure their glass would have misted over quickly John, I used a flash combined with a short exposure. It was so bitter outside, and I was not propelry dressed for a proper photo shoot, so I just stayed home. There was a good 3" in total, and maybe 4" out in the country road. It stayed for much of the night. Great to see it. I'm surprised this wasn't more wide spread. The Lough Neagh region looked really bad last night. |
