Snow Squalls - time lapse

This video shows a series of squalls that passed through our area last January. We had been having somewhat warm weather (up to +10C), but that began to change with this system. The snow that came in was in brief, but in intense bursts with a lot of wind.

I was skiing on that day, and when one such burst came through all I could do was lie low amongst the reeds and bullrushes around the islands of the slough I was skiing on. I had enough skiing for the day after that.

The music used is Contrapunctus 12, a 4 (rectus) from The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 by J.S. Bach.

This was filmed on January 11, 2009 at 100x real time.

@SFBakstad Thanks! The most interesting looking snowy weather that we get is usually in the spring. It's warm enough for cumulus clouds to form, but cool enough that the precipitation comes out as snow. It isn't unusal to see snow flurries with bright sunshine at that time of the year.

Nice one! Although I'm not sure I want to be reminded that Winter is on its way :)

Thanks. Yaeh, I know what you mean; we got our first snow last week and Thanksgiving this past weekend was pretty win'try. It's supposed to go back up to +16C by Saturday, but the inevitable is coming. :)

Thanks! Though it didn't too gorgeous to be in that. Biting cold, stinging snow and ice etc.... :)

The system also hit Nebraska hard. 17 inches of snow fell in North Platte
