1. That's so beautiful, but even looking at it makes my back hurt!
Merry Christmas to you, too!

Stay warm!

:hi:

2. Looks like you have enough to share there, Blue.
So pretty. We had a bit here but its finally gone...I wished it would've stayed through today. We made it to 55º and sunny....I actually miss the Canadian winter...for about 5 minutes. ;)

3. Snow Times...Good Times for Kids...and that makes Parents want to work harder!
To give our kids that "taste of the Earth"...as part of their heritage looking back!

It's wonderful....even though ...it will kill your back...as one gets older.

Loved all the snow..and the "stuff" you could MAKE with the snow...like Creative Snowpersons and ice sculptures and all kinds of good stuff that kids int he neighborhood would come over and marvel at..

6. I know...too much of it is "not cool"...but it's fun for many kids...and I hope that isn't
your cute little "pup" there as that "black dot" in snow drift.

That is totally ...Uncool! :-(

8. Oh, it was great when we were kids! We always hoped for a "snow day!"

But my poor Dad still had to make his way to work. And now I dread the snow because I don't want to drive in it. I worked nights for many years and often the roads often weren't plowed yet when I drove home. x(

As for my dog, he won't leave the porch unless someone has shoveled him a path. He really hates walking in snow so much that I considered getting him boots... :D :hi:

edit: typo :hide:

7. We've had a phenomenal amount of snow this year.
Something about La Nina. I think we're getting all of the Midwest's share.

9. Lat winter, I was snowed in more times than I can count, bad even for snow country.
The snowbanks were so high on the streets that it was nearly impossible to make a left turn. So far, it's snowed and then melted, but we still have the next few months to make up for it. :( :hi:

10. That is so beautiful.
It was about 70 degrees here in S. California today. So we did not even dream of a white Christmas. So thank you for the picture.
