    He's meeting his ship. I think the snow thing is a conspiracy though . . . It last snowed here in November, two days after he left for six weeks. And now, it snows again three days after he leaves :? :think: :problem: :thumbdown: The snow is beautiful though and it will be gone in a few days, so it's all good :D

    I come back to South Florida and everything is green again after a month away but still we have fire watch in our community. I've learned my lesson about fires. :( :o

  • great pictures - love your dog, he/she doesn't look amused :lol:

    i love waking up to a huge blanket of snow
    but i also sympathise with you
    it can be a pain in the ass


    soon it'll be gone though, so it's best to appreciate it while you can :)

    My yard has looked like today's pictures since November. Despite several Alberta chinooks we are still looking at piles of snow, and since it is -30 right now I do not see it melting anytime soon. We won't see a crocus until May! Its funny, yesterday I was house hunting (dreaming really) online and looking at places in Victoria. Today it looks to much like the place I want to leave! ;)

    Keep dreaming my friend, it's a good one :D I do that picturing the place that we'll be buying up Island.

    The only thing that really sucks about snow here is that we don't really have the infrastructure to deal with its removal, so unless the sun decides to come out and melt it all, getting around the next couple of days will be interesting to say the least ;) especially with the stupid Sunday drivers who want to experience winter driving but are afraid to drive faster than 10 km/h :x

    You're right. I am enjoying it :D And no, Nikita was not amused although I think it had more to do with me taking her picture rather than the snow (she is part husky after-all ;) ) :D

    I'm not surprised. You Northerners are a hardy bunch. I was absolutely shocked at what the Geordies would wear in winter.

    We had a guy round here once who would wear just pants all the time whatever the weather. I think he used to get called thong man.

    Ummmm, no, he was a little too skinny and a little too old. We can alway live in hope of 'Thong Man 2', maybe I should have a word with hubby. :think:

    that little yellow flower is something...
    nice.
    then buried in snow along with her friends... drag

    check this
    yesterday it was sunny, gray, rain, snow, hail
    today school is cancelled, kids are sled riding down the street
    my feet are cold and there is about 4 inches of snow out there

    it will be melted in a matter of hours
    it is snowing right now... maybe it isn't melting anytime soon

    my backyard is white
    are the crab fishmen crabbing?
    probably maybe if it isn't killer windy out there

    ate on some free delivered crab the other day
    even a dick neighbor is worth 15 cents some of the time
    backyards?... i used to toss my empty whiskey bottles into his backyard and or his neighbor's backyard...it was great stuff

    backyards are awesome

    We just got another inch or two of the dry fluff. Yours looks heavy and a pain to shovel.

    Yes, it's really heavy. Great for making snowballs, snowmen and snow fort though. Not today though, the wind is up and it's pretty darn cold for Victoria.
