Wednesday Walking Through our First Snowfall

My #wednesdaywalk adventure, as inspired by @tattoodjay .

Well, it had to happen; the snow was bound to arrive. As far as precipitation in the area over the past several months, we received little to none. So when I read the forecast for last night/early this morning with respect to us receiving a few inches of snow accumulation, I didn't believe it. As fate wold have it, the meteorologists were right, and I was wrong!

We always get snow in this area, but typically not this early on. The weather had been cold the past two weeks, but I assumed it would warm up and if any rain did happen, it would be rain. No such luck.

Sure the roads were sloppy...everyone took a bit of extra time on the streets. Time always seems to slow down a bit after the first snowfall. Yet with all that said, the views were fantastic as I drove into work.

You may recall this area from a previous post earlier this year. I knew I had to stop by the old barn again to get winter's first grace documented on my #wednesdaywalk. Not only was the barn holding up strong, but so were the surrounding areas.

Evergreens covered in snow...cornfields long harvested covered in snow...even that long, tall, unruly grass was covered in snow.

As I meandered up down the old country road, the sights and smells were refreshing. Sure, I'm not the world's biggest fan of the white stuff, but there is a certain sensibility in the air once the first snowstorm passes through and leaves its wake. It's almost as if the universe wants to let you know that autumn has finally passed, and the cold death of the sun is on its fateful path yet again for us North Hemisphere folk.

Thank goodness I was at least there to photograph some of it!

That's it for this week's #wednesdaywalk. I hope everyone out in Hive had a good Wednesday too - until next week....
