Overnight SNOW-sation

This show was created a couple of weeks ago and was sent out to my friends and clients in my email circle. I would like to share it here, too, with my blog readers and friends!

Living in Northeast PA, I've learned to become accustomed to the arrival of snow at odd times. One year, we had almost two inches come down the week before Halloween; my husband remembers shoveling his car out sometime in early May. Last year, we never got our first significant snow storm until Valentine's Day.

This year, we had a long, warm Indian Summer - no real autumn to speak of. The leaves never really turned the usual brilliant array of colors that Pike County (and of course, Wayne County) is almost famous for. My apple tree however, was loaded with beautiful red-cheeked globes decorating the tree. So beautiful were these apples that I was compelled to take a few pictures, along with some nearby red maple leaves.

Little did I know that the next morning, all would be covered with the first snow of the season. A little over a week ago, the temps were in the 70's. Then, snow. I had to take more pictures.

I hope you enjoy the show - and you can see how beautiful Pike and Wayne County PA is - in any season.

Gary, thank you so much. I am very glad you enjoyed it. I'll be happy to send you some snow; I'm expecting more tomorrow!

Ginger - these first, early snows are enjoyable to me...I don't tire of them until the end of January. By Groundhog Day, I'm ready for spring!

Karen, I enjoyed your movie. I remember all kinds of strange weather when I lived in Western PA (Pittsburgh). I took my kids trick or treating one year in so much snow that we could barely hit the houses just on our street!

Beautiful show Karen! Personally, I love the snow....and as I sit typing, I see out my window the flakes of pure white covering treetops, my garage, and surrounding areas. It is beautiful...

We are indeed on a roller coaster as far as weather is concerned. You are absolutely right though, it's beautiful here in every season. It's great living in a place where you actually have a variety of weather. I would hate to get tired of perfect weather all of the time. Each season makes you appreciate the next.

Have a great week!

Karen,

Great pictures in your show! The apples on that tree look tasty. It was 79 here today - hard to imagine snow on the ground.
