All week I’d been hearing reports of snow in parts of the country surrounding Birmingham but nothing here and it was getting rather annoying. Birmingham traditionally gets the mediocre weather, rather like merging a bunch of lovely paintings together to produce a grey splodge, and it seemed like again we’d miss on the beauty.
But lo! Lunchtime today I noticed the clouds had a yellow tinge to them followed by a brief flutter, which turned into a heavy flutter, which turned into a storm. So, as per usual, it’s out with the camera and on with the coat…
The storm stopped and the settled snow started retreating and I thought my plan to go out again with the camera at night would be ruined, but come dusk the snow picked up again, and it’s still going. It’s my intention to pop out about midnight and see what’s what…
Pfft. My photo of the local snow is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/image_galleries/snow_pics_1105_gallery.shtml?8
I tried to take more, but the local kids started throwing snowballs at me.
Pete, that’s lovely. I’ve been wanting to go and take photos locally for a while now, especially with the leaves turning colour and the bits of snow we’ve had today…sadly my experience of today’s snowfall was Year 9s being more hyper than usual and dripping all over my carpet.
