Walking in the snow to dinner - Jan 8, 2015

On Thu eve, Jan 8, 2015, my wife and I walked to El Camino Real in West Toledo. It's about a 20-min walk with my stops to take photos. I love walking at night with the snow falling. With the single-digit temps, this was a sparkling snowfall.

We arrived at the restaurant at 6:55 pm. By then about 1/2 inch of snowfall had accumulated since snow began around 6:00 p.m.

During our walk, the snow intensity was at least moderate. It came down pretty good. It was a super fine-grain and lightweight snow. Windy. The wind speeds increased since sunset. The brisk winds easily caused blowing snow. The snow came down sideways.

The winds blew from the southwest, so temps warmed a couple degrees since late this afternoon. Temp was 8 to 9 degrees at WTWS station between 6:30 and 7:00 pm. At 9:06 p.m., the WTWS reported 12 degrees. At 3:20 p.m., the WTWS reported 5 degrees.

We left the restaurant at 8:26 p.m., and we arrived home at 8:46 p.m. Again, I stopped and took photos at multiple times on the walk home. Fun evening.
