Dear Readers, we have some winter excitement here in Madison! Beginning Friday afternoon and continuing overnight into Saturday, we have our first good snow of the season. As I write this, I’m listening to the familiar sound of metal scraping pavement, a Ford truck snowplow is clearing the snow from the apartment parking lot across the street. Neighbors are sweeping the snow off their cars. Now I hear the rattle of a enormous dump truck carrying sand that it’s sprinkling on the road. However, on my walk and in the garden, the atmosphere was quieter, snow blanketing the sound.
What’s your favorite kind of weather?
Check out Debbie and Friends’ great pics at Six Word Saturday. ¡Olé! –Rebecca

Lovely. I always like the first snow. Then when it gets untidy looking and interferes with my life, I get bored with it. We don’t really get Proper Snow here any more.

How exciting! I love your photos, Rebecca! Especially the little tracks! We are still waiting for our first big snow of the season. I love the way it coats the leafless trees and boulders here. And of course it’s lovely on the red rocks! 🌞

I’m a child of the Sun 🙂 I hate the cold–for me, that’s anything below 60 degrees–and have yet to experience my first white winter.

Gosh, I haven’t seen snow since living in France…back in sunny Los Angeles, it’s a bit nippy, but not a speck of snow anywhere. Looks like a winter wonderland in your part of the US, that’s for sure! Stay warm, and stay safe. 🙂

I like how snow makes a dull day brighter (like today). I Iove how it smells and how it muffles the street sounds.

I lived snowy winters for many years. Gave that up about 20 years ago. I can’t say that I miss it, other than at Christmas. I love your black-and-white photos, and they’re so perfect for this subject! My favorite weather.? Today’s weather. As I age, I feel time slipping through my fingers. I cannot waste today’s rainy day, wishing for sunshine… It is all good.

What beautiful shots of beautiful snow! I wish we could get a really deep one. We did, however, have a white Christmas. So I can’t complain.

We’re getting a bit stir crazy in our condo, but we walk in a nearby park or the mall in early morning to avoid other people but get some exercise. It helps!
