Only 11 days passed in January. In such a short period, January presented us with many weather surprises. The first night of January surprised us with rain. And in the morning there is a heavy snowfall. He walked all day. It was only 0 degrees. There was a strong wind and it was cloudy. But the next day, nature made us happy with a clear sky. The sky was clear, without a single cloud. I was surprised by the blue sky - the first photo on the screensaver. It got colder outside - minus 7 degrees. It was clear and sunny. This kind of weather is rare this year. Until now, we have seen the sun only occasionally. And then not for long. The weather was more cloudy.
In the photo above and below, there are traces of the January surprises. Drops of melted snow on tree branches. Snow covered earth. And the temperature suddenly became above 0 degrees. The sun came out for several hours. And in winter such a miracle.
For a short period of January, we had severe frosts and thaws. Temperatures ranged from +3 degrees Celsius to 22 degrees below zero. The snow that fell at the beginning of the month almost melted. For several days in the afternoon it was dark outside, as at dusk. I had to take a break - in such weather, nature photographs looked gray and dull. There were strong winds and only sometimes calm calm weather.
This season, winter began strictly on the first of December. After a few days, nature decided to retreat. And the weather began to resemble late autumn. And only for the last two days it has snowed with short interruptions. Finally, real winter has come to us. The forecast for January is still being confirmed.
Yesterday there was a temperature with a slight plus. It was snowing for almost a day. Now it has become beautiful with us. It was minus 7 degrees outside this afternoon. And it started snowing again. Even the sun tried to break through the clouds. But he failed to stay. It looked out, smiled with light and hid again.
January finally gifted the trees with snow-white outfits. It is such a pleasure to walk among such beauty.
A lot of red mountain ash grows in our city. There is so much of it that it is found everywhere. January dressed up mountain ash in snow-white hats. This is so beautiful. I could not pass by indifferently. I often see birds eating rowan berries - bullfinches, tits, jackdaws, rooks. Unfortunately, it is rarely possible to take photographs.
Here we have such a fickle handsome January. With changeable weather. Sometimes he gave the rays of the sun. But more often he was gloomy. And lately it has been snowy. And he transformed everything around.
