Very nice pics. I can't wait for the first snowfall here, I love it.

Whew... I thought you might have included a picture of our house, but it's only our street, hahaha. Yeah, that was a really nice snowfall, wasn't it? Complemented our late-night viewing of Biden vs. Palin (with popcorn) very nicely.

I just walked down to the end of my street (crossing lotsofmagnet's street on the way) to have a look at Esja with the beautiful early snow covering her... you can see my exact view in the 2nd to last pic, though I walked all the way to the end to see more of the mountain. I do love the way Esja looks in the winter on a clear blue-sky day, like a big chocolate wedding cake with buttercream frosting draped down her slopes. I wonder if it will snow much again before we leave Iceland... I'm enjoying this bit of snow while we can.

I love first snow, everything looks so pure.

I don't miss living in it. It's nice to visit.

Nice pictures!

RangerJoe

I love the last picture.

I'm not looking forward to our first snow at all. ): I hate winter. I wish it stayed autumn forever.

ktspktsp

Cool pics.. It's like I was there!

I slipped and almost fell several times today. Time for the boots...

lotsofmagnets

lucky you mentioned that: my next batch of pics are autumn pics from 3 days of wanderings. all 3 days of autumn we seemed to have....

. The First Snowfall

The first snowfall of winter is gently floating down,
it doesn't seem to settle, only hover over town.
And in the quiet stillness, unbroken silent sound,
a snowflake wanders slowly to its
place upon the ground.




Peering through my window, I watch the
snowflakes dance
in a silent pirouette that leaves their
fate to chance.
As each one tumbles softly in misty
shrouds of white,
I somehow know the snow will last the night.



Could it be I'm dreaming, or could it be I'm right;
do the snowflakes really fall in
patterns made of light?
Twisting, ever turning, softly falling flakes of down,
angels' pillows gently come to rest upon the town.

-Jane Ellen

Beautiful glimpse into a world far different from where I am now -- thank you!

Today it was 70 degrees and sunny.

I love the snow...great pics. It's only 40F here overnight, so it'll be a while before it snows. I wish winter would stay longer.

I love the first snowfall of the season... or any snow that comes out looking fresh and clean.

No snow here any time soon.

It was 40F here overnight about 4 nights ago. And then suddenly it dropped to 30-32. It was really weird.

Anyway, if you really like winter, feel free to move to Iceland and join us! October to April, no real spring or autumn, and about 3 months of summer if we're lucky.

I don't have a problem with the snow, I have a problem with the temperatures that come along with it.
