Intense Shower

All the way home from work a few days ago I saw this big cloudburst ahead of me.  It looked like it may be over my house but when I got closer to home found that it was still further along and my village missed it.

when out on the bike we look for these and once seeing one tend to hot tail it in the opposite direction
Mary MacADNski: Good plan! This turned out to have been snow, not rain. Brrrr.
The layers of cloud are so beautiful, as is the rest of the scene.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks so much, Odd. It turned out to be snow, not rain.

I hate when these squawl shower are about when out with Hamish well captured Mary
Mary MacADNski: Turned out you may have lost your white dog in this. It was a snow squall rather than rain.

That's a spectacular picture Mary - excellent!
Mary MacADNski: Thank you, Chris. Turned out to be a snow shower rather than rain.
That was some soaking that someone was getting. Well done for spotting it and being able to photograph it.
Mary MacADNski: Turned out that this was most likely a snow shower. Now that I know that snow fell here and there it makes sense why is is white instead of dark grey.
Quite a spectacular image Mary. The tones are terrific!
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard.
I love seeing these storms at a distance, very fascinating.
Mary MacADNski: Come to find out, this was most likely a snow shower. The first of the season, there were many across the province that day.
I like the odd sky party
Mary MacADNski: Turned out is was likely a snow shower, not rain.
A great capture Mary. The scene and color are excellent.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Shaun. I felt like a storm chaser.

Mary MacADNski: Turned out this was likely a snow shower.
Some wonderful light Mary. Basis for a painting here I fancy

Sure looks like the zipper gave up, Mary.

Love that red grass in the foreground.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, the grasses turn reddish brown but this light boosted it some. Turned out that this was likely a snow shower.
Well worth stopping for Mary, I presume you must keep a camera in your car for such opportunities.
Mary MacADNski: Yes, my camera is with me if I am in the car. Turned out that this was likely snow.

Can't beat a really heavy downpour for drama
Mary MacADNski: Turns out that this was most likely that nasty S word. - snow. The first of the season and it fell here and there in random snow showers across the province.

Storm chasing is very popular in the US, I believe (seem to have more than their fair share of nutters smile ). Glad you made it home in the dry.
Mary MacADNski: I was so surprised as I though it was over my place but was just further on.
Lovely shot.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, John. I felt like a storm chaser.
Still good light even with showers smile
Mary MacADNski: I believe it may have been a snow shower as I heard snow fell here and there that day.
Glorious lighting, Mary - well captured!
Mary MacADNski: It was stunning. It was hard to keep my eyes on the road with all this weather happening ahead of me.
Nice work Mary,its good when you some thind differant on your way home and to work,its a good find,I love the way the clouds are forming and the colours,did you end up with some rain out of it.
Mary MacADNski: I didn't at my house but someone got it. I think it may have been a snow shower as a matter of fact. The first of the year.
Good capture
Mary MacADNski: It may have been a snow shower. I heard it snowed in some spots that day.
