SNOW.............................. :-))))))

.
I finally got some snow!!!
.
It began last night...
.
And it is still continuing today...

Ooops, it stopped.  Just as well.  Don't need a lot.  :-)
.
(I've used this quote before,
but use it again,
because it fits.)
.
"Out of the cloud-folds
of her garments shaken...
Silent, and soft, and slow
Descends the snow."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

No snow........ :-(

No snow.
.
I think it's time to give up on any real snow this winter.
I don't miss having to be shoveled out.  Or walking or driving in ice/snow.  So what am I complaining about???
.
I miss the pristine beauty of snow.  I miss watching it snow, while inside my home.  I miss how snow fall, makes inside seem even more snug and warm and cozy and inviting.  Like a warm blanket around me.
.
I miss those things, about a normal winter, of snow.
.
And it is too late now, to expect any real snow...  So, yes...  I am sad.  About this.  About missing a real northern winter.
.
While apologizing to those who have been deluged with snow...   I still post this entry.   :-)

Monster winter storm.....

My heart goes out, to fellow citizens, who are in the path of this monster winter storm.   Please be safe. 
.
Happily, we are not in its path.  But so, so, so many are.  -sigh-

And Saturday is the Full Wolf Moon.  Which will mean higher tides, along the coast...

Snow/Ice... At last...

Winter finally came...  Complete with snow and ice and freezing rain.
.
Ice storms scare me...   Fear of losing power...  So far, ok...  But the freezing rain continues...
