Out In the Snow

/ Sarah Collins / Leave a comment

Today’s adventure took me out into the snow and 5 degree weather.  There is a limited number of  pictures you can take before your fingers and thumb starts to go numb and hurt.  Yes!  How can they be numb and hurt at the same time.

It is not snowing, that is snow blowing off the trees.

Below are the snapshots of the videos I took.  The videos are located on YouTube.  I looked for other hosting sites, but my quick search turned up Facebook and YouTube.  Click on the link below the pictures to see the vide0.

Snowmageddon 2016

/ Sarah Collins / 1 Comment

On February 1 and 2, 2016, the “Heartland of America” was hit with record snowfall for a 2 day period.  Grand Island, Nebraska was at the bulls eye of the storm.  It received 18.3 inches of snow with 45+ mph wind gust.  Here are a few pictures I took.

It is starting to snow.

 

7 a.m. Tuesday morning.  Don’t think I will be going out in that!

That doesn’t look too bad.

Christmas Ornaments – Part 2

/ Sarah Collins / Leave a comment

Ok, I have been slack about posting articles.  Here are the reminding Christmas Ornaments I painted for 2015.

These two ornaments I painted for my niece, who asked that I bring her some snow.

I’ve painted all my ornaments in pairs.

I thought white, snowy Christmas was a nice touch.

Puff paint added some dimension to the ornaments.

Yes, these two ornaments are a little different.
