Snow and Shutter Speed

As I am typing this, the forecast is suppose to be 83 degrees today.  Oiy!  It's January. and while we normally don't have snow, we normally don't have 80 degree temperatures either. 
I didn't get the chance to post my favorite snow pictures yet. So, on this balmy, windy, Texas day, I'm choosing to reflect on the wonderful two days of snow we had during the second week of January.

I had fun playing with my shutter speed.  I slowed the shutter speed way down to capture the motion of the snow.  I love this effect:

Here is the same angle and composition, but with a faster shutter speed.  See the difference?

Here are my raised vegetable beds covered in snow.  Once again, I slowed the shutter speed to capture the motion of the major snow we were receiving:

Here it is with a faster shutter speed.  The snow was really coming down!

Snow, snow, come again please!!
