Snow!

I took this in the parking lot after work while it was still coming down.

forecast from the weather underground:

Tonight

Snow showers. Brisk. Snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches. Lows 13 to 16. West winds 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow near 100 percent. Wind chill readings 5 below to 10 above zero.

Brrr! I took tomorrow off though. Hopefully I will get some good snow pictures:

Wednesday

Snow Moon On The Way

To the native Americans the full moon of February was known as the snow moon. According to English tradition it later became known as the wolf moon. So far this year it seems snow moon would be more appropriate!

I took this shot Saturday night from my friend Kevin's back yard in Erwin. It worked out great. Using my uncle's 55-200 lens allows me to zoom in for much more detail.

It may seem sideways, but this is the way it appeared in the sky as it was headed down toward the horizon. This gives it the appearance of having "horns" pointing up. I read that the 31st was a bad day for planting and I wonder if this has something to do with it. However, Thursday and Friday were ok planting days and the moon would have been horns up on those days as well.
