It hasn't quit snowing since last Friday. Stops for a few hours and then away we go again. Enough already!!! This is going beyond "A White Christmas"!
You want snow? I'll give you *Snow*!
...sniff, sniff...
I think you all got the picture...YUK!
Want some cheese with that, Donna? ;-)
Boy, I can't even say that word at home any more, without three cats instantly milling about my feet looking for a treat. Here at work I can say it without having to pony up...."cheese, cheese, cheese!" lol
That last picture is particularly gorgeous. I can almost hear the deep silence from here...mmmm
Don't worry Donna, only 3-1/2 months to go until our RU in Victoria! hee hee hee
Christine, it's definitely, whine, whine, whine. I am sure glad I don't have to go anywhere today. My little Mustang is rear wheel drive Even with the sandbags in the truck, when the snow is this heavy (it's +1C) I think I'd still be in trouble. DH got stuck going to work this morning, just trying to get onto our main road. Although, the residential roads are always the worst in one of these snowfalls. The snow Plows are probably going strong trying to clear the highways and bus route roads first. The forecast is for +8 by Saturday, but I really wonder if this much snow is gonna melt even at that temperture....Sigh...
Thank God, Shannon. I can hardly wait already, for Spring and the RU.
Donna, I'm sorry for making light of your plight...a lot of snow can be difficult & dangerous, and I really do hope it clears up for you right away! It's particularly tough with little rear wheel drives...been there! Hope you guys can take it easy as much as possible.
Shannon
Oh Donna!!!! :( ......the prairies don't look so bad right now??? ;)
Beautiful pictures tho! :D
Ahh, but what's the temperature there, Miss Pam?
LOL
p.s. could you imagine what that would do to Toronto if it fell there right now? National papers were saying that the 2 cm that fell there almost brought that city to a standstill.
Yikes....what if they call out the army again?! ;-)
Uh oh...The grader just made two passes out front. Guess who'll be out clearing the entrance to the driveway for hubby? Moi... See you're not the only one Shannon! :P
Yeah, yeah.... :-D
Not the only one clearing driveways either...we had to shovel out before going to work this morning.
Take it easy out there, ok!!
OK, mommy...
Tsk
LOL, the 2cm might have brought the reporters to a standstill, but Toronto didn't even have public transit problems. (I haven't even worn my boots yet this winter!) Toronto has road/highway problems 24-7, so a little bit of snow is gonna mess up the roads, that's for sure - ha, even rain messes them up!! I swear most TO drivers have to learn how to drive in the snow all over again every year, like they've never done it before. Oh, and by the way, our lovely 2cm of snow is kaput, gone, like so much dust ..... rained away.... until the next deluge ... lol.

Christine... :P
Donna we will have our turn in a couple of months! ;)
Just kiddin", so don't be givin' me that "surprised look". LOL
Just wait Christine.......I love seeing those loverly winter pictures that CBC shows of Ontario and Quebec in January/February/March! ;)
Those snow pictures are lovely. I guess we got torrential rain when you got snow. Today the wind is blowing trees over, knocled my hummingbird feeder off it's roost, then lost the door to my deck/GH. With the door gone, in came the hummingbird. I chased him out, again. Now off to find another hummingbird feeder for our year round hummers. and fix the door on the deck/GH. ( come on lotto!!!!)
We have a bay just to the south of us-Frenchman's Bay-that freezes over and ice fishermen take it over for the winter. As I pass in my commuter train, I've always wanted to take pictures in the winter because it looks like its in the the middle of nowhere, yet lies at the south end of a small city, and less than 1 mile east of Canada's largest city. I'm not sure that pictures would turn out too well from inside the train tho; I thought that I might try climbing the train hill (which is across the street from my house), except my snow shoes aren't broken in yet...lol.
"You still have hummingbirds...sniff, sniff...
Sorry to hear about your stomy weather too, Linda. I still can't believe you have hummingbirds...8-{
Christine, as I was reading, I thought you were gonna say you would climb the train...LOL, then I read on...hill. Yeah, I think you should put on your hiking boots and trudge on up there and get a nice photo for us. "Cause we are worth it! :D
Okay, will do, I'll get out my ice climbing equipment .... lol.
I've often thought about that train hill, as it stares at me when I look out my kitchen window. Its lovely in the summer, all green with bushes and trees - but there's no colour. This fall I was getting rid of a rose vine (gasp) and planned to take it across the street and plant it on that hill so I could see the roses take over the hill as the years go by. Then my mother found a real home for the rose vine, and so it now lives in a rose-lover's garden 50 km to the east. Now I find that have planted a lily that's invasive - fortunately I discoverered its little problem before it took, so dug it up and planted it in a container. I figure this peruvian lily will completely fill the container next summer (if it survives the winter) and I'll take it across the street next fall and plant it, letting it take over the hill. Do you think CN/CP will thank me?

Donna, can you say 'winter tires'?
OK, smarty pants, can you say...got 'em! So what's your point?
LOL, not you Jeanne. Do enjoy that walk. By the way, do you still do Brumansia Artwork? Saw some of your artwork on the Brug & Friends forum. CG, I think. Very nice.

Tetchy, tetchy. Just wondering if people in zone 6 wanna be zone 8 had em. That's all. So you can say it. Very slippery at those temps. Probably hilly too?
Christine, I bet CN/CP wouldn't care one way or the other; but then they aren't the ones looking out their kitchen window. You go plant that Lily. If anyone ever says anything or if it turns into a "monster flower, taking over the neighbourhood", you just say. Qui Moi?
Heck, let's go all the way, Zone 10 at least! Oh Yeah, we've all got snow tires. And the ones who didn't got 'em real fast over the past couple days! It is really slippery and heavy snow. (I know, I just shovelled some) And yes, much of the BC southern interior is pretty hilly, if not out and out mountainous.
Don't give up Christine. I used to say "someday, when I retire", and "someday, I'm gonna live there". And look, I'm retired, and I live in Southern B.C :D
Follow your dreams. Someday they'll come true!
Nice snow pictures Donna. Boy, you really did get a dump. Funny how they got the forecast right for your area. Although, now that I think about it...it was the American forecast that was on the money wasn't it? I remember you saying something about Spokane. They keep saying we're going to get snow. I'm starting to feel like the boy who cried wolf. I guess it serves me right for quoting the weatherman. Well, from now on I don't believe anything he says. Don't overdo the shovelling. Sandy
