Yesterday we had the first snowfall here for several years here. We had around 50mm (2 inches), but it was enough to cause chaos on the roads and keep me home. Overnight came freezing temperatures and more snow showers, and just a few moments a go I took the image you see above from my study window. It is a ‘Winter Wonderland’ out there for sure, and I am like a child again with wild excitement and wonderment at this beautiful icing- topped New World beyond the pane.
Just now, December 2017, Staffordshre, England.
Beautiful! Having unusual snowfall in the southern US states too.

Beautiful light and freezing cold! Honestly, I had to search on the map to find out where Staffordshire actually are located, in the middle of England. “Winter Wonderland” sounds really wonderful, but for me who lived so many years in Sweden, winter is too cold and far too long. But enjoy the moment and let us take part of lots of your pictures from your “New world” 😀

Snow turns us all into children again, especially when it is an unusual occurrence.
Put on your boots, hat and mittens and go out and play before it goes away!

I do miss the first snow fall of the year, it was part of me for decades. However, I know it never stops at just one, and in the Northern US it lingers. Now I will take my chances with the once a year hurricanes.

Lucky, lucky you! Some parts of Texas just got substantial snow, too. I wasn’t so lucky, but at least I got to see it snowing, and got a few pics of it on rooftops and such. We were just enough warmer, being near the water, that it didn’t accumulate. Your photo is beautiful. I’m just a little envious!

Thank you. The morning sunlight was beautiful shining through the tree.
It has been snowing very heavy here overnight, and still is, with gusts of wind so it is drifting in places. Everything is still and quiet in this ice world. I hope you get to enjoy your snow next week, Anki!
