We got first snow of 2012 - YAY!
 

Well, first snow of 2012 where I live anyway! Hehehe. Is only going to be around for a shot time, so I thought I would video it. Last night I went out at 23:00 and filmed a bit and then this morning I filmed a bit more. I then spent most of the day editing it together.

In total 30 minutes of footage edited down to just under 3 minutes. Boy, I'm not very efficient! Anyway, thought you might like to see a bit of snow in the UK, which is nothing compared to what some countries get. They even have snow in Rome!

Enjoy:

Wow, isn't this kind of late for a first snow?

Not really for the UK...well...where I live anyway. Although last year we managed to have a white Christmas for the first time in a very long while, which was nice..and cold (-10C for a week). Ok not as cold as some places, but it was for the UK. We don't have a huge variation in temperature or weather really, so Snow always make headline news!

Alan

Yeah... First snow was yesterday here too. :)

Nothing like an epic neighborhoodwide snowball fight!! :shoop: (just got back from one.. Our side kinda lost HEAVILY.. But still fun!)

Congratulations :)

Didn't get any here :(

Hey, Marley, a neighbourhood snowball fight?!?! That must have been quite a sight! :hi: nothing like that here though :(

What you didn't get any snow HNM? Very sad, only... Well, we're only at the start of Feb so plenty of time for you to get some of the white stuff ;)

Alan

Ateo and I have some very dear British friends that live near Cornwall, England, I don't know if they would have gotten any snow from the storm that you got.
These folks have a 3/4 ton pickup, and a 30 foot RV that they leave on our place, about 100 yards east of our house, on the same side of the airstrip as our house is.
They will be here for a month this April.

Great video, Alan! I esp like the music and transition effects.
Irayo for sharing. :)

Today it was a balmy 78...gotta love living in Florida :P.

Shorts and a tee-shirt all the time, well not really. I like dressin classy, dress pants and a button up for me.

I lived in Hillsboro, Pinellis, and Polk Counties in Florida for a total of nine years, had enough, and moved.

Way cool stuff Alan!

Great job matching your shots.

Sorry to hear that matey. Normally the Souteast tends to get a fair bit.

Nah... Cornwall is the 'warm' end of the UK getting the Gulf stream which tends to keep it warmer. Although the county nextdoor (Devon) got some snow on Dartmoor. It's still mega cold over here (for the UK) -4C. Although Prowler was saying it had warmed up in Sweden to -15C! Brrrrr!

Irayo ma eylan :hi: Glad you liked it. It was fun making it. I like snow - hehehe :nsmile: (I used the indents in the snow to mark my locations for filming the following day)

Oooo! Lets see...last Saturday I was working outside in the cold and I had on: T-shirt, two 'thin jumpers', thick hoody jumper, scarf, hat, thermal trousers (aka pants) Two pairs of socks and two pairs of overalls, fingerless gloves and made sure I had a job that required some physical exersion! I was warm enough - Hahahahaha XD

This Friday we're getting some more snow - YAY!!!! Just hope it doesn't stop me going to see my Avatar mate in Birmingham to see Star Wars 3D!

Alan

Typically the least in the country along with the southwest; but it seemed to be very localised 'no snow' where I am - 30 min on the train out of town and there was plenty...

That's pretty clever!

First snow in Austria now too, and holy hell its TOO much.. i really want now some little island of my own with banana plants and good cocktails for 24/7 :D

I hate snow.. Cold, White and.. just way too cold :D

Don't say **** about snow!!

Thanks for reminding me that it is cold and white, we see it on the mountain tops here in west Texas, but I forgot that it was c-c-c-c-cold. It's WET too, isn't it?
Niri Te

It's wet when it melts :P

Well it was until I went back to find them only to see each location had two of the feet positions trampled on! Still worked out ok though. The walking shots were a bit more difficult and needed manually keyframing to match.

You can never have too much snow! Hehehe. I love the snow...probably because we don't get that much in the UK compared to other places. It's meant to be snowing again tonight...

Alan

lucky! i live in the UK but dont have it:'(

I can't wait for a real winter next year :awesome:

Oe mllte :(

:D
It being cold will be a difference for you :P

Anyone with some extra snow is welcome to ship it to the mountains of California; the state's got distressingly low levels this year! :(

Dahhh, yes! You'll be over our neck of the woods. Well, if it throws it down with snow we'll teach you the art of a txantsan snow ball fight! :xD::xD:

Sorry to hear that matey. Must be this global warming thing...although it's -6C over here right now...brrrrrr...:P, but the sun is out.
