Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

So the weather has gone a bit crazy. The back end of last week it started to snow, it never snows over here but when the east coast of America gets snow....we get it 5-7 days later.

Of course, over here when it snows everything stops. People act like it is the apocalypse, and all act surprised that it is snowing in winter. To think! Snow in January, who would have thought it?

I don't get what the big deal is. Be prepared! Be careful, don't drive like a loon box and dress properly. I never see or hear Canada or Norway making this much fuss. It is snow, try to enjoy it!

I took the dog for a walk in the snow and diverted to the back trail which cuts through the forest and took my camera along. I'm no landscape photographer, far from it. But when it snows, it makes the place look so pretty, so much better!
So I thought I'd have a crack at some 'snow-scape' photography.

After padding through the forest we took a detour into the local nature reserve. Back in the 1930s through the 40s it was used to test bombs for the war, which was convenient seeing as across the road were the bunkers where the bombs were stored.
There are a few ponds in the reserve, we stumbled upon one that was frozen over. It was very nice. Although I couldn't help but wonder if the pond was created because there was hole too big to fill which was left by a bomb.

I don't think the pond would have been much good for hockey though! It was too small, and the ice was probably not thick enough either.
