Snow...snow...snow...and more snow! A good six inches right now and coming down at a steady rate. The weather gurus are saying this will turn to rain and sleet some time this afternoon...but I have my doubts right now. It sure is beautiful! Santa will have an easy go if this keeps up. :-)

Got about 6"-8". It's 1°F (-17°C for my fahrenheitically challenged friends) and will be dropping all day. Wind will be coming up too this afternoon as the temps drop so I wanted to clear the driveway and sidewalk before it got too bad out there. Expecting low air temp tonight of about -22°F (about -18° C) and overnight wind chills should be around -45°F (about -43°C), so it'll be a little chilly. No real reason to go out so I'm going to hibernate this weekend. Warmup due next week to the 20s to maybe 30 so I'm not putting away my shorts and t-shirts yet.

Icy snow and more icy snow.

Everything is covered with frost. It got down to 32 last night, the birdbath is frozen.

Nicole, that is an amazing window!

58° when I got up at 6:00 a.m. Now, it is 77° at 10:45 a.m. High into the 80s.

Woke up around time alarm would be going off during the week. Knowing I did NOT have to rise and shine, was ready to just roll over and back to sleep for a while. Did peek out window and everything was white! By the time I got up a few hours later, only white on car. Have to make a super market run so hoping it's just slushy stuff that will puh off with the broom!?!

Fifty shades of gray.

Frosty roofs!

Yikes, Cynic--where do you live?

Lots of snow outside my kitchen window, topped with sleet, and happy birds at the feeder.

It's 60 out there right now and sunny. The forecast is to rise to 80, then as our cold front comes down this afternoon temps will drop to 22 tonight. Pneumonia weather.

No snow. We do have a little forecast for over the weekend but it isn't supposed to last. Gray skies, frosty landscape. It was 26 when I went to bed, 28 when I got up a little before 7. DH had been up earlier and put his hummingbird feeders back out, there was a bird on each of the three feeders just gorging on warming calories before it was really light outside. We're about 10F below our usual normal but this cold front is said to be moving out in the next day or so.

Cloudy, 44 degrees going to 66, drizzling, and I am watching several little black-capped chickadees in our Crepe Myrtle tree breaking open seeds that they just got from the feeder.

A bunch of zinnias I started late. The AC is going, but it is supposed to drop 40 degrees tonight.

It's grey and drizzly. The snow is melting. I see an occasional bird.

33 now but it's sleeting. Any snow we got is less than an inch.

I wannabe where Lucille is! AC running! It is 30 degrees here in Southern Oregon, up from 28 earlier. Lots of frost growing on grass but street is clear and dry. Blue, blue sky, and yesterday never got above 35 or so, so kinda instant replay....it's OK

Warm, muggy, windy. I turned off the AC and opened the windows. Outside my kitchen window is a pasture with woods beyond that and a pecan tree that has had all the pecans stolen by the raccoons. No horses....they are standing in the driveway eating hay out of my truck. I need to go open a bale and put them up.

Marilyn I can picture those horses now munching hay at your truck. It sounds like you live in heaven, on earth.

My frozen petunias. After the last couple of nights, they are toast.

Snow,snow & more snow here too...and grey,looking like a heavy sky about ready to drop more SNOW!!

Snow ... like for the last couple of days.

The landlord cleared it on Thursday and again yesterday, but more last night and I think that I put a couple of kilometres on the speedometer going out about 500 feet of lane.

There was some going ahead and backing up, and some spinning.

As I got near the road, I had to go back and forth more than usual, and the front, driving wheels wanted to slide to the side, bringing me more or less crossways ... and ahead on the way that it wanted to go was a bit of a slope, so I wanted no part of that: would be really stuck!

Some shoveling ... and as I was getting nearly ready for another try, the landlord came along in his truck, gave me some pushing and I got out ... and he, in his high fifties, said that he was pretty well out of puff.

Think that I'd better be home before dark ... though likely Conrad'll have the lane ploughed. Not so great making a sharp turn into a lane, especially if someone is following. Plus ... one can't start with any speed, to carry one through some of the deep or heavy snow.

Oh, the joys of winter ... in some locales.

ole joyful

Solid ice...than it poured down sleet and rain on top of the ice..than temps rose in the high 30's F...melted just a bit but still ice...and more ice. LOL I'm homebound.

-6C this morning so we went out and shoveled early, before 8 a.m. The temperature is supposed to rise over the course of the day and get rain/sleet/freezing rain. It rose to about -3C so far, so no melting as I was hoping!

But the kids wanted to go out on the balcony and I happily obliged.

little snow, sleet and then rain., going up to about 55 tomorrow, then back to 30's on Monday.... oh the joys of winter here in the NE...

Hummingbirds! We put up a little stick on window feeder as we've had Anna's in the yard because of our fuschias, but the cold snap brought those flowers to an end. There's a little male who has sat nearly all of yesterday and today about 10 feet away guarding "his" food. The female had to sneak a few sips.
