More snowy day pictures

[auntiemeesh]

I went out for a little walk in Frick Park this afternoon. I was expecting to have to tromp through two feet of snow for at least some parts of the walk, but it seems someone took it upon themselves to make the trails passable. I'm guessing a snowblower, since the paths were all of an even width and firmly packed down. It made the walk much more pleasant.

I also took a bunch of pictures, because it was pretty and OMG so much SNOW! You can see them at my Snowpocalypse gallery.

I was surprised how many people were out walking the trails. I even encountered a few cross-country skiers, and one couple with a small child gently coaxing him down a hill on a small sled. So cute!

Lovely pictures! :) You guys got a lot of snow! Guess I'll see it firsthand tomorrow :)

It seems the city has no idea what to do with all the snow we got, so it's just sitting around waiting to melt. My street still hasn't been plowed and probably won't be before the next round of snow hits us.

Yeah, the 'Burgh seems at a loss for what to do. I got home okay, the interstates are generally clear, but even the major roads in Oakland (Forbes, 5th, Craig, all the side streets) still were totally and completely snow-covered this morning. As in, could not see any asphalt, 3-4 inches of brown icky sludgy snow overtop what I'm sure is a nice sheet of ice. Holy heck, I've no idea how they're going to get all those roads clear.

Hopefully it will be better by tomorrow. Not that the side streets will be clear, but 5th looked like all the sunshine and traffic was slowly melting some of the snow. There were one or two spots where it was clear down to the road surface.

I really like slice of life and the buds look like Sugar Maple.

Great pictures! Glad you were able to enjoy the snowpocalypse.

Yeah, most of the people I've talked with have not been enjoying the Snowpocalypse as much as I have. Sometimes it's a blessing to not have a car to deal with - it makes times like this so much less stressful.

very, very nice photos!
I am glad you're enjoying the snowpocalypse ;)))

Thanks. It's been fun, but it's starting to get old, even for me, lol.

More great shots! Keep havin' fun with that PowerShot!
=D

I love getting out and taking all these pictures. Most of them are borderline crap, but that's the joy of a digital camera.

[whtmtnwmn.livejournal.com]

Exactly--you immediately delete the bad shots and everyone thinks you're an awesome photographer!

Nice photos. I too love the blue sky!

There's just something about the juxtaposition of snow and trees and sky that is almost irresistable.

They are beautiful!

There's some really nice ones there! And lots of snow. :)
