Snapshot of frost on the inside of my windshield this morning

an open spot on a hill. Some trees, snow, bottom part of small mountains visible opposite, gray and white clouds, a little blue

Walking through this wet snow felt a little like trying to walk along a very sandy beach. Walking poles kept me stable and gave muscles in my upper body a workout.

More Photos from the Season's First Snowy Day

Here are more of the snow pictures I took on November 28.

Photos: First Snow of the Season

We had our first proper snow of the season here in Mt. Washington Valley today—heavy and wet, but beautiful.

Heavy early snow on the trees and path in the woods.

Snapshots from small railroad yard and surroundings in North Conway, NH, between 4:33 and 4:45 p.m., as the sun was rapidly waning. The railway used to bring skiers to town. Now people can tour the area on the Conway Scenic Railroad.

Old railroad freight car painted 'Conway Scenic Railway'. Slate blue with yellow lettering and yellow side door (partial). The sky is dark blue as the sun is about to disappear.

Old yellow railroad maintenance vehicle marked 'New Hampshire Central Railroad'

A view of pond, field, and mountain behind railroad yard. The sky has dipped behind the mountain with only a little light breaking through the ridge line and into the sky above.

Old Boston and Maine Radio freight locomotive 1741. Recently painted and shiny. Blue and black with white lettering

Boston and Maine locomotive for passenger train. Maroon with an orange horizontal strip and maroon lettering. Darker because the sun has dipped nearly out of sight, but shiny.

Old wooden mustard yellow railroad station with some electrical lighting and a bit coming from behind where the sun has set.

Tall, thin white 'B' intersecting a wide black 'M' with white outline against the blue background of locomotive 1741.

Old red Central Vermont railroad car that seems to be serving as a shed. A small window was added, and a tarp is covering a bundle of something on top.

View of some shops and a church across the green in the center of North Conway, opposite the railroad station. It's fairly dark, except for the electric lighting and trace bits of light in the sky. American and New Hampshire flags on a flagpole to the left.

Some of the last hangers-on in this part of Whitaker Woods, North Conway, NH. The trees that aren't bare are pine.

Brown leaves clinging to a sapling in the woods. Most of the other trees are bare, except for the pines, of course

The waves at Moss Beach, California, on May 13, 2018, shortly before 7:00 p.m.

One of four photos of the waves, the camera held low, which also meant not quite level. Quite a bit of wet sand visible in this picture. Image somewhat dark because of the angie of the sun.

Power lines in foreground, small mountain with ski slopes fills out much of the rest. No snow yet, but the cloudy sky and the light have a wintry feel.

Mt. Cranmore from Whitaker Woods. I skied there in the second half of the 70s.

The bare tree branches form interesting shapes against a white-gray cloud in the sky. A little blue sky is also visible, and the green of pine trees.

Same concept as the previous picture, but different trees and a bigger patch of blue in the sky.

Whitaker Woods: Winter is coming.

Granite bolder in woods, largely covered in moss, brown leaves on the ground

Rotting tree stump and small bolder serving as a home to moss and more. A tiny bit of red from a small plant in evidence that is easy to miss. Pine needles and twigs.

The bright colors were largely gone on my walk in Whitaker Woods yesterday, and the sky was gray, so I turned my eyes to moss.

Mt. Chocorua was looking fine today.

So was the foliage bordering the water.

fall foliage, red-orange-rust, blue sky and water in parts of the background

yellow foliage with varying amounts of light, bits of blue sky in background

trees with same foliage colors, red-orange-rust, blue sky and water in parts of the background

more yellow foliage, just different patterns of yellow and sunlight.

Late afternoon sun on trees behind the condo.

Fairly dark woods, but with lots of yellow, parts with late sunlight

View of granite and water, tips of boots at the bottom hanging over the water are mine.

Managed to get out today, if just for a short walk to Diana's Baths.

red leaves with a few bits of yellow, blue sky

Here are some of the fall colors people came to the region for.

Photos taken in North Conway Village.

Shades of orange, some splashed with direct sunlight, also yellows and reds

view from inside the car; lots of traffic and overhead wires, but also Mount Washington looming above everything, snow on it from last weekend is still visible
Beautiful weather and fall foliage brought lots of visitors to the valley today. I couldn’t resist taking this snapshot of Mount Washington while stopped in traffic.
