I should have known better than to post a comment in yesterday's photo about never getting snow in AL... Naturally, mother nature would go and prove me wrong in less than 24 hours This evening at work around 11 or so I start hearing that it is snowing out (my dad had sent me a text telling me it was snowing where he was, and since usually a few hours later, I get the same weather, it didn't really surprise me when I heard this...) But of course tonight I left my camera at home, and besides, I was working until 2 so not like I could find time to stop working and go take my photo... Luckily when I left it was still falling, and to my surprise it was still going when I got home, so out I went with my camera... At this point I should probably mention that to most people, this is not really 'snow'... the fact still remains that it does not get cold enough here very often for snow to accumulate on the ground, so what we had tonight was just snow flakes falling from the sky as would a nice misting rain... feels about the same as well, as soon as the snow hits your skin it melts, and it doesn't snow hard enough for the individual flakes to form into large flurries or whatever the term is, so it's just individual flakes falling down... and then they melt as soon as they hit anything, so it's just like having really nice, very cold rain... Luckily though some of that nice cold rain stayed frozen in my hair long enough for me to capture it, but I still had to sit outside to get it to work, coming inside to the heat would have melted everything hehe... Oh well, it was worth a few minutes outside in the cold... And at least I had my awesome new gloves!!
