I walked to downtown Silver Spring in early afternoon, with light snow starting to fall. There were a lot of people out, walking dogs, children playing, neighbors chatting. The streets were busy with people going home from work, or out for some late storm preparation shopping. I stopped at the bank, then walked to Chipotle to pick up a couple of burritos for our evening meal.
I walked a different way home, and stopped for a few minutes in a wooded area to watch the snow falling in the forest. My toes got a little cold. The flakes were small and the ground just beginning to turn white.
Light but steady snow continued all afternoon, slowly piling up. Much heavier snow, and high winds, are expected later tonight and into Saturday, but for now, it has just been a pleasant, silent, snowfall.
