Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

 

As you know from my post last week, we hadn't gotten any snow so far this year in Philly. However, last Sunday morning I awoke to the most delightful sight my eyes could behold...SNOW!

When I looked out my windows it was as if I were peering through one of those glass snow globes that you shake, and all the snow comes cascading down.

I suddenly started doing pirouettes around my apartment like a ballerina in the final act of the Nutcracker.

I was SOOOOOOO happy!

So after taking a shower, I threw on my jeans, turtleneck, down coat, boots, hat and gloves; then grabbed my camera and went outside to enjoy it.

And it wasn't just snowing, no, it was a BLIZZARD.

Here, take a look...

A view looking down Broad Street in Center City. This photo was taken about 12 PM, but look how dark it already was from the weather. It almost looks like nighttime.

You should have seen me walking around the streets like a little kid, sticking my tongue out while trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue. And with the snow coming down as fast and hard as it was, I had a mouth full of snow that looked like Mount Everest.

I took this shot while walking through one of the tunnels in City Hall. Look at that SNOW!

I spotted this abandoned hoodie just hanging there. This shot was also taken around City Hall.

I love when the snow settles on the bare tree branches, making it almost look as though someone took white icing and highlighted them. It's like natures work of art!

Another snow highlighted tree.

I took this shot from across the street, using my zoom lens to capture this couple standing in front of a jewelry store on 13th Street. Can you believe how hard it was snowing?!

Snow and ice on berries.

Icicles hanging from a car fender.

These last two photographs were taken on Tuesday, right after we got hit with another snowfall.

A view looking down JFK Boulevard at the Philadelphia Art Museum.

I took this shot from Love Park, looking up at William Penn atop City Hall.

Yes folks, I sure do LOVE snow.

In fact, I love it so much, I could write it...

Warning: Don't eat yellow snow.

Have a faaaaaaaaaaabulous weekend everyone!
