After an all day snowfall yesterday I decided to take my camera along on my morning walk. It was a nice light snowfall. There was no wind so the snow came straight down and there are no snow drifts. The town did a good job of clearing all the streets and sidewalks overnight.

Those are beautiful pictures, Sandra. I love building, especially the old victorian houses. It is a good pictorial of your area.
ReplyDeleteIt's a house with character and a history...that's why!
ReplyDeleteThe city clears the sidewalks too. They never did that in the Midwest were we're from. They expected us to get out there and scoop them. Even wrote tickets to those that didn't get it done.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures as always!
Lovely little town and very interesting houses, Sandra.
ReplyDeleteBeckwith Street looks slippery?
So glad you shared those views of it. Thanks.
We don't get snow here, well we have a couple of times over the last 30 years, but it didn't stay on the ground. So it is informatative for me to find out that the city ploughs it out of the way. I thought they just threw salt and gravel on it.
Happy Walks with more Photos.
