Fifthelement

Yeah, my crocuses, hyacinths and daffs were all coming up. I'm sure they'll be fine, but over a foot and half has fallen so far :shock:

Just came in from shoveling the walks and driveway . . . stupid husband is in Hawaii right now . . . grrr :x

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

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. :(

Peace

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

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 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

I like my Island living life-style

You're right. I am enjoying it 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 )

I know!! It's very bizarre. Probably rain tomorrow - but at least we have today.

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.

Pants here equal trousers. I hope he had a good body, otherwise :?

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

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

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.
