    For those who wish they had just a little snow. I'm going to share some with you. The first two picts are the same hill in front of our house. 1-in the summer, then 2-when snow has fallen on it.

    These next two are snow sticking on the trees and the pine trees.

    These were taken just last Sunday & Monday. We ended up with 6-8 inches. Now let us get back inside and warm up with a cup of your favorite hot drink.

    The trees on the mountain sides had snow on them yesterday, and today it's all gone. I didn't even manage to photograph it. Thank you for sharing yours, petunia.

    Can i please put an order in for a couple of feet of snow,, send to Lofoten,Vestvagøy,Norge care of Biita,, they will know where to put it.

    Very pretty,, those trees when i was a kid my grandma would call sugar trees. just looked like someone sprinkled powdered sugar all over them,,lol. I love it.

    Well we don't have any snow, just frost everywhere, but our fjørd is frozen over completely,, so maybe,,,, keep fingers crossed,, altho we still have a 5 months to get some snow. It'll happen.

    Thank you for freezing so i can see some snow,,lol.

    All our snow had gone now but, hopefully, we'll get more before winters end. It certainly helps to insulate plants and bulbs against the cold.

    We went to an estate sale today that was at a higher altitude and they had snow on the ground. I was very happy to be back down to our level with no snow. Someone can have my share. dooley

    I love the snow, but now we've got to deal with extreme cold...regular temp is -20 F with a winchill of -35 F. I'll keep both of our fireplaces stoked up all day today. the little chickadees and nuthatches are busy at my birdfeeders this morning. It's amazing how those little things can tolerate these extreme temps. I'd think their little feet would freeze solid.
    Brrr...

    kaseylib, I don't think I even want to know what -20 feels like. We're at 5 degr. with windchills in the minus. This is already too cold for me. I can't wait to see the ground to look like my 1st pict. ohhh, where oh where is spring?
