As I write, we’re in the middle of a good old fashioned snow storm.

The shrubs are wearing hats…

And the car is about to disappear.

The bird bath is being swallowed…

And so are the birds.

The weatherman is calling for 14 inches and that makes me smile.
Winter is finally here!

River's world..... 
It’s so incredibly beautiful to look at the magical scenery it creates and to listen to the silence that it brings.

Yes, it is most definitely on the east coast. Then I come home to far west Texas and it’s 68 degrees and I’m perfectly fine with that, lol.

I’ve laid in the sun on our deck when it was 50, as long as there’s no wind it’s doable.

It arrived here on Thursday. I love a good snow, especially since I am retired and don’t have to drive in it.

Snow is just nature’s way of letting you know when Spring arrives. When the snow disappears, it is Spring (or, where I live, sometimes summer already)!
Poor Ms Huntress never knows for sure what season it is. She has summer all year round. 😇

You never know when spring will appear here. We’ve had big snow in April and dustings in May..

Deep snow is so uncommon here that the people in local mtns, trapped by unpassable roads, are running out of food.

Yeah… no one expected this, not even forecasters, so no one was prepared. Plus some were Airbnb rentals – those people were planning for a weekend but stuck for 2wks. Stuff like that is why I have emergency kits + extra emergency food.
I’m pretty sure authorities are going to find bodies once they reach the most remote cabins.

That’s so sad. We have bad winters and remote areas but everyone is usually prepared.

Le sigh. I was hoping that if I travelled OS again I could see a German winter (and Christmas) in the Black Forest, or of course, somewhere like Norway/Finland would be ice, too.

That’s awesome! Other than a few dirty piles in parking lots, there’s no snow left around here…
…but they’ve issued a Winter Storm Watch for heavy snow Thursday night. Which means I’d better make sure the heated driveway is good to go for our move on Saturday!
