RE: Pre Sunrise Panorama | Blue Hour at the Reservoir

in GEMS4 years ago

Yes, in Autumn there are leaves on the roads and especially in the shadow areas it stays wet too, what makes the roads dangerous for bikers as well as for stupid car drivers ;)

In the past years the snow stayed mostly on the mountains or higher regions, but sometimes we get more than enough, and yes, I love to walk in the snow if it's snowing and my camera loves it too 😊

Sort:  

I think that wet leaves on the road will make dangerous skid pans Hannes.

So, you are saying that the snow is only in the mountains?

I thought that it would also be in the towns and the roads. My friend that lives in a small town called "Chattel" in France puts pictures on Facebook that shows very thick snow on their roofs and he moans about having to clean their driveway every morning before he can get the car out.
It must be great to walk around in that stuff lol.

Cheers and thanks!

It depends how high above sea level his town is. Maybe it's in the alps? Here in Klagenfurt we are at 446 m above sea level, and of course, we have had very much snow here too. I remember about 70 centimeters some years ago. But so much snow has become rare in the valleys.
At my parents house we have had up to 1.5 meters when I was young, but nowadays it's much less there too.

You are right as it is in the Alps and they also run a ski resort there.
446m is not that high above sea level and it is amazing to see how the snow levels have dropped there over the years.
It has to be something about the earth warming, as we heard yester that another very big ice block has broken off and is slowly floating on it's way down the Atlantic towards us lol.
I think we are about 4 or 5 meters above sea level.

Cheers and thanks!

Yes, it is certainly something like the earth warming, although I don't completely believe in that, but yes, there's something going on.

If he's in a ski resort it's sure that they have lots of snow 😁

Agreed as I am also dubious about this global warming thing, but facts are facts and 2019 was the hottest year in South Africa on record. So who knows how hot this summer is going to get?
I don't know if we will see 50C in some areas again, but I do know that it kills many cattle by heat exhaustion.

So yes, something is most definitely going on Hannes.

Yeah almost 1 meter on the cottage roofs and they have a thing that looks like a little quad with a ramp at the front to push the snow off their driveway!

Cheers and thanks.

I'm curious when the first palm trees will grow in Austria and first signs of sand dunes of a desert will be seen 😉
Climate is changing slowly and our winters are not anymore as they have been when I was young.

Yeah, they have quads and tractors here to get the snow off the roads.

We can laugh about this, or we can be very surprised one day when it happens.
In my young days my mom used to say that one day Pretoria and Johannesburg will be joined.
They are two of our biggest cities and they are 65 kilometers apart.
So everyone used to laugh at her "wild" thoughts.

In the 80s a new business center was built halfway between the two cities and since then, the new place has expanded in both directions that now connects the two cities.
So, if you joke about Palm trees and sand dunes beware, it might become true hahaha.

Same here my friend and something is going on!

Cheers and thanks!
