Back in March

[solarbird]

Back in March, we had a sudden but large storm appear out of almost nowhere. The weather was pretty nice, for March, then suddenly it very much wasn't. I took a bunch of pictures but never posted them, so I'm doing that now.


March Storm 1

It only took about, gosh, 10 minutes to roll in from the south, and the streetlights started coming on, and homes started lighting up as people reacted to the sudden dark.


March Storm 2

The creepy part was how you could see the clouds overhead just winging by, but not feel much wind at all down by the house. Then it picked up a bit at ground level.


March Storm 3

And then the wind picked up a lot.

Then it calmed down and lightened a bit, all about 15 minutes later, after which, it snowed.

Later, we were all ready for creepy outdoor tea with American McGee's Alice.

Great picture set. Last one and the one before last really give a strange atmosphere...

The last one, I really know why; it's the two different light sources, of different colours, that's really doing it. I think.
