    Firt snow

    The first snow has fallen, and rather unexpectedly; only a few centimeters but the temperature moving up and down from -3 to +2 C (approx. 27-35 F) have made roads extremely slippery - and I haven’t got my winter tires put on yet.
    Yesterday morning it was just below zero when I started out for my one-and-a-half hour walk but due to the wind it rather felt like -5 (23F). At least my hands were cold and I had to keep them in the pockets of my wind breaker most of the time.

    Great pictures. What kind of camera are you using?

    We had some cold weather here this past week and I thought for sure it was going to snow, but I only caught a few lingering flakes in the air and they melted before the hit the ground, winter is fast approaching central Kansas.

    Wonderful photos, we have had our first snowfall as well, as I've come down with a cold, I have not even thought about getting any photos.
