20160229 Returning from Parry Sound in the wake of snow squalls

We visited with Muskoka Artist Connie Zator ( whose paintings might look familiar to some) and stopped to snap some pix on the return trip.

The wind was  kicking up little gusts of blowing snow on Hwy 529:

Causing varied reflections of light off of the windblown snow drifts:

Some interesting rays of sun glinting off of the little whirlwinds of snow:

Threatening squall over Bayfield Inlet:

Ripples and drifts were forming on Big Lake:

Interesting trip.  Always something different.
