A surprise early snow!

I have kept track of our first snow fall for the past 15 years and this is the earliest. All the other years fall, on average, 20 days from now. Nov 15 was my previous early record, December 1 being the latest.

But when I woke up this morning I was very surprised to find everything covered in snow!

I grabbed the camera, and just like @farm-mom has been known to do, I went out taking pictures while I was still in my pajamas!

I was glad that I did, because by the time I was dressed and ready to start the day most of it had melted away.

Now, let's get back to autumn and Halloween!

Howdy Melinda! Wonderful photos, beautiful even..but scary. lol. You don't need that stuff so soon! Wow. Well I guess that's the same Artic air system that gave us our record breaking cold weather.
@joanstewart(75)· 2490d
Early dusting of snow, what a lovely surprise to wake up to Melinda. Each photo a good capture of fresh white crystals on pink flowers super eye-catching.

Now perhaps autumn is moving quickly with start of winter, seasons are changing in every corner of the world, thanks for sneaking out in your pajamas before the flakes got burnt up by the sun.
@hangin(73)· 2491d
Seriously you were not kidding you have seriously been rip off by summer i am glad i am living in a tropical country...lol...enjoy the snow it does look beautiful though 🤣

Oh i will keep sending you summer photos to keep you warm...hehe 🤣 😎 🌞
@nelinoeva(75)· 2491d
Oh no, it is too early for the winter. I would do the same if I see the snow early in the morning. Wonderful shots with such contrast betewwn the white of the snow and the green leaves, or the red flowers. Autumn colours mixed with winter colours, simply fantastic.
@keithboone(68)· 2491d
That does sound early for snow but wow! Is there anything more beautiful than that first snowfall? Lovely photos, enjoy the snow!
@goldenoakfarm(77)· 2491d
The first snow is always soooo pretty and your photos are no exception! Loved the one with the pink hydrangea.

We had a light snow on October 28th a couple years back, but the worst one was on October 30th. Check the depth on the picnic table under the tree....
@doifeellucky(65)· 2491d
Very beautiful pics Melinda! ❤️

I used to hate winter with every fibre of my being. This started early on for me somewhere between having fun on a sled and riding motorcycles as long as there were no icy roads. In the last few years though things have changed for me. I started loving winter again and snow especially. So the first snow of a beginning winter season is special to me!

Thanks for sharing these wonderful shots!

Cheers! Lucky

No way!!! Although these are beautiful photos Melinda, it is scary otherwise. Besides, our weather forecast is predicting snow flurries next week!!!
@fotosdenada(67)· 2491d
Noooooooo!!! It's too early! I'm surprised you had accumulation down there, even if it didn't stick around. We had our first snowfall a couple weeks ago in this part of MN but, even though it snowed for about a day and a half straight, it didn't stick.

The photos make it look pretty, though, especially with the still-green leaves and flower petals beneath.

brrrr!

Beautiful pictures!! But the early snow is freaky! It snowed pretty good in Arizona as well. Crazy!!
@farm-mom(73)· 2491d
What beautiful photos, it's really something to wake up to, pretty. Hope you at least put on your boots before running outside. hehehe. Have a fun day😁

Global warming is followed by global cold. Mother Earth is sick. 😒

As much as I love snow, even I have to admit this is a bit too soon!❄

Your pictures are delightful and I especially enjoy your macrophotography! Glad you ventured outdoors to capture the images before it melted away!

Snow is in the forecast for us Thursday night (Halloween) @melinda010100
@livinguktaiwan(81)· 2491d
You must have been freezing if you went out in your pj, I hope you threw on something warm as well!!! It's not even November, I dread what it will be like in deep winter...

Thanks for sharing the first snow with us Melinda.

Great snow pics! I wonder what caused the early snowfall this year, in your area. Just an outlier? Or is it part of the much-hyped "global climate change" issue? Either way, the petals and snow look interesting together. Reminds me of snowdrops, usually the first blooms to appear here, tiny white bells that appear in late January.
@quotes-haven(69)· 2492d
Snow in October? That's early. I hope it means you will get an early Spring next year. Or does it not work that way. Beautiful shots, by the way. 😊
@jacey.boldart(73)· 2492d
Your photos are so beautiful !

Glad it wasn't here though.... ha ha.....
@a1-shroom-spores(65)· 2492d

Really beautiful, Christmas can come.
@ultratrain(70)· 2492d
Even though I am out in the Southwest for the winter, I still love to see some snow just to remind me of growing up in New England. Snow adds a special touch to the landscape.

These are really nice early morning covered in snow photography.
@adalger(70)· 2492d
Beautiful pictures ^^ .. It seems you are skipping the autumn, hehe ;)
@rossfletcher(77)· 2492d
It's gorgeous!

I actually put on sweatpants and a sweater for the first time since last winter! Not cold enough for snow but it was nice compared to the near 100 deg. We had just a few days ago :)
@backinblackdevil(71)· 2492d
oh je... snow. i love only sunshine :D
@owasco(73)· 2492d
These are absolutely gorgeous. I'm glad you went out in your pajamas too.
@roger5120(73)· 2492d
Wow! Snowing already? Nice pictures though...loving them all.

Pretty!! Especially those hydrangeas...
@bashadow(70)· 2492d
It looks like Alaska is still in a warm water flow, so a lot of the cold is bypassing us for now. We had one week of below freezing, one tiny false snow fall. It is looking more like mid November for our first real snow, but as we know Mother Nature can be fickle at times.

You're such a talented photographer Melinda. I love these shots.

It's a reminder of what is coming soon in Upstate New York, and as much as I'm not a fan of the cold, there is beauty to be witnessed with every season.

Keep up the great work :)
