Hello all my friends in this wonderful Steemit community!!
Front yard view
This morning we awoke to the first snow of the season. The first snow is always beautiful, my wife is excited and going downstairs to tell our daughter as I type.
Backyard view
Our daughter Lesly is from the WWH2H orphanage in Honduras. Of course she has seen snow before, but she is always excited and full of wonder, just as my wife.
Traditional snowfall rule
It is considered a official snowfall "if it is heavy enough to track a cat."

Mind you, we've had a few light snow flurries already, but they didn't collect enough to be considered the "first snow." Did you know there is actually a rule determining whether it is an actual snowfall. Keep in mind, to count the number of snowfalls, you need to know this rule.
Yep, the first snow is beautiful, it's good to enjoy the journey and be grateful for the little things in life!!
Thanks for visiting, please follow, comments are free.
You are right, the first snow fall is always beautiful, however, the last snow fall of the season is my favorite because that means spring is just around the corner. :D
That is perfect!! Love that comment!!
Thank you very much. :D
good post, I'm very happy with your posts, nice photos and satisfying compositions, thanks for sharing
Thank you, I appreciate your kind words!!
wow amazing art. I like natural beauty and also i like when anyone art natural beauty picture.
Thank you so much my friend!!
You are most welcome my dear friend.:)
I remember my kids being really excited about the first snowfall when they were younger. You know, ready for tobogganing, skiing, snowmobiles and skating. Hockey season. Now that they are older, the freshness has worn off. Something about shovelling the darned stuff. At least that's what my two in Canada tell me...
Those are good memories!! And the kids still get excited!! (Yeah, it wears off quickly)
thank you my friend Ceci!!
Beautiful weather hurts that here in my country we do not have that kind of climate, here is high temperatures during the whole year hehe
Thank you my wonderful friend Johana!! You can enjoy the warmth, while we shovel the snow!! :-D
The first snow is pretty, especially when it is untouched.
God bless you and Valerie!!
hehehe some day I will have the opportunity to know the snow, greetings to you also friend and your family and that you enjoy that beautiful winter @paradise-found
Nice! The first snowfall is always so nice, but they get annoying quickly, lol! Winters seem to last forever here in Mass!
Yep, you know what I'm speaking about!! They are long here in WI as well!!
wow! I love seeing snow, but I am glad I do not live where it snows! Hopefully you all don't have too many winter storms this year!
Thanks for visiting my friend!! Yeah, the snow is beautiful, but it does wear off quickly.

Ah snow... why I live in Arkansas!
Do you live near @papa-pepper? He lives in Arkansas.
He's kind of on the other end of the state I think... he did bring his incredible family by to visit. His kids are awesome, his youngest daughter looks almost exactly like my grand daughter!
Yeah, he's a friend. I live in his hometown.
The Pepper family is awesome, and he's a regular guy.
Just happens that Steemit is perfect for his unique talents!!
You must have a cute granddaughter!!
Here in Ar or his hometown in WI?
He's originally from Central Wisconsin, where I live.
Yes I know, I also lived in Wisconsin... In Madison where I worked as a chef and again in Viroqua.

Oh, this reminded me of the time when I saw so many paw trays on the playground near my house, going in all kinds of different directions, so fun to follow! :D
Enjoy the first snow, it does look really pretty, especially when it's untouched. :)
Thank you my dear friend @nikolina!! What do your friends call you? I'd like to use that name.
I agree, the untouched snow is beautiful!! :-D
Nina :) That is a common nickname for Nikolina :D
Sometimes I even introduce myself as Nina, especially to foreigners because it's easier to remember and pronounce, hehe.
Awesome, from now on you are Nina!! I like that!! Thank you!! Hugs xoxox
I wish it snowed in south Texas...
Well, aren't we a pair... I wish it didn't snow in central Wisconsin!! LOL :-D
But the first snow is pretty!!
Looks very beautiful. Enjoy!
wow wow wow that's amazing to see :D
Another sweet post! I love your pictures. Could you give me some advice. I am new to posting pictures on steemit. Whenever I post, it doesnt become a thumbnail I can see. Do you have an idea of how I can change it to appear both in the post and as a thumbnail? Thank you.
Your first picture will be the thumbnail. That is my experience.
Does this help?
Yes, sort of. When i post in photography I only post one picture with a small caption. When I open the post i can see the picture, but when i am scrolling blog lists...my posts dont have thumbnails!?
Yeah, I went to your blog. That's weird.
Check if there is a difference in the photo link.
.jpg image versus some other.
I find that .jpg images work best.
Thank you. I am not sure what it is. I take the photo on my phone, post to facebook, and use that link to post on steemit. Maybe ill just have to play online all day and figure it ok!
Maybe if you save to your computer, rather than use FB link. Then use it. That's what I do.
Hhmm, what an adventure lol. Thanj you for your help and support!
When i post a video it works. When I use an internet photo it works.
