Canadian Snowstorm
A snow storm is brewing! Sunday December 21st/08.
Yesterday the snowfall was heavy in Ontario, the province next door to us, and on the eastern seaboard of the United States. Today it is moving quite quickly into our area of Quebec.
This is a curve in the road close to my house. You can see a man and his dog braving the elements if you look closely on the right side just past the hydro pole. They only appear as shadows. Needless to say driving visibility is poor. We ventured out earlier this morning to get a few errands done, but returned home as soon as possible. I had anticipated taking a few shots today on the occasion of this being the winter solstice, but did not expect to find such treacherous conditions. The wind is glacial and although I was able to snap a few shots a few feet from the car, my fingers were throbbing from the cold, and I needed to seek shelter immediately!

Joanne Bradley replied
Thanks for the suggestions! :-)
Brian Carey
Great shot Joanne. The movement of the snow really sets of the image.
Robin Brown
Its only a little snow Joanne happens all the time over here. Sometimes we get as much as three inches. Is that more than three meters? Britain grinds to a halt when it snows & in Canada you people get several feet & keep going Joanne. Stay indoors & keep warm. XX

Great one, Joanne! You were much braver than I was today! I just went out to see my son’s hockey game at our local arena, and I couldn’t wait to get back home! I had planned to do some more Christmas shopping today, but decided that tomorrow will do… LOL!!

Perfect Canadian weather…great capture Joanne…
Steve Buffington
Yes, I have seen this before, but not for a long time. I think I’ll just stick with your pictures of the winter and stay here in sunny California. Nice capture. I guess I don’t have to wonder if you’ll have a white Christmas.
Leanna Lomanski
Joanne this is a perfect capture of the storm!! You really caught the movement of the wind and snow perfectly!! Hope it clears up quick!
Alison Cornfor...
Oh I soooo don’t miss this :) Great capture!

Looking at the length of those snowflake blurs, it must be windy! But you know, this scene is so alien to me – never having experienced snow at all, that I can’t imagine the cold at all – it remains for me, an interesting picture.
