photos taken through my patio doors...

yeesh make sure no small animals have to cross under that thing!

Just the birds... the only entrance to the deck is through my patio door, so the critters are safe. Wish I could capture the whole thing, but I'd have to go outside ...

Oh shit.

I made the mistake last year of leaving my minivan parked in front of my house, directly in front of my front door. Which happens to be conveniently located to the left of a peak in the main roof, which periodically lets loose with ice and snow that crashes onto my eaves and typically bounces off to land on the concrete area I usually park on during the summer.
Yup - HUGE piece came down on the minivan's roof. Left a nice dent. I was pissed at myself for having been too lazy to move the van.

Good luck with that. Oh, and let me know if you get a pic of Sasquatch - I haven't heard from my older brother in a long time now. ;-D

I don't miss the dangerous driving and back breaking shoveling that winter entails, but your photos make me long for the beauty and sense of security (serenity) that being snowbound can induce.

You rake your roof with regularity I hope.

I'm so jealous. The Gulf Stream zipping by the coast here keeps the snow well to the west of us most storms. We get cold rain.

BTW, I'm still back-reading. ;-)

cool photos. I didn't think I would actually miss snow, living in california. but sometimes I do miss snow. it's beautiful.

Bill... lol. Will keep an eye out for your brother. Ouch on the van.

Donna... Serenity is the new word for cabin fever, right?

OE... heh, heh. What, rake? I need a snowblower up there.

Good... You don't have to shovel cold rain, though, right? *snorts*

dolores... I would miss the snow, too.... if it would LEAVE already.

This reminds me of why I left my hometown of Chicago 25 years ago. I have sought warmth and sun ever since, because I am a proud wimp. I remember so well my single years, walking through the hard snow in my pumps, trying to get back to my car --to me it always sounded like a dentist packing in a filling--
But it's beautiful, so pure and natural. Just watch out when the thaw comes!
Of course, in the meantime, I broke my wrist in Austin, Texas because temperatures were going to go down to 16 or 17 Farenheit!
Damn cold, I'll never miss it!

Where is Sasquatch County?

Here in Western Washington we have, knock on wood, dodged the snow bullet this year.

Great pics.

That's some serious snow, dearie!

We had a terrible, scary blizzard today and five people died in car accidents. I flew out to DC at 5pm, well, make that 6pm after they de-iced the plane twice. When I landed in DC about an hour ago, it was 45 degrees. Damn tropics, right? I put my scarf and my gloves in the deep recesses of my suitcase and won't remove them until I get home at midnight on Friday.

Funny, I came out here to get trained on "implementing health care reform at the state level". Not so much, now. So not only do they keep changing our meeting agenda, they've now asked all of us to do Hill visits tomorrow to try to get this thing back on the rails.

Uh oh. I think I just answered your PM in a comment. Sorry!

Anyway, stay in, brew some good java in the AM, make some soup for lunch, and sip on a glass of Red in the late afternoon. That's how you ride out a snow day/week/month/season. Right?

xo

whoa. that is *some* snow. hope you have another door to go in and out of. i love seeing it, though. do you think the camera is crappy? i sorta like that blue hue -- thought it was the eerie snowy winter light, not the camera. but what do i know? good one, this.

FTD... Me, too. This is why I left here eons ago. But I'm back. Hibernating. I wish I could miss the cold, but how can I miss it if it won't go away? lol

Roger... Sasquatchewan, Canada. I'm here looking after Dad, wishing I could mail myself to California or Hawaii.

Waking... you're not kidding!! I can relate to agendas that keep changing. Okay, bad pun.

Femme forte... I do have another door, but the snow is up to the doorknob on it. I'll have to force it open and shovel. The blue hint is probably the snow, but I thought the pics are a little fuzzy. Maybe that's my fault, not the cameras. Must try the tripod next time. :)

It makes me shiver, but it sure looks pretty.
