People love to see pictures of snow & icicles and I thought this would make a good place to show your white worlds. :ha:
Our first snowfall of the season is approaching quickly and I intend to show it here as soon as it lands...
Others should feel free to post their shots also. Internet images are also welcome.
Can't wait to see everyone's peeks...

Penny, you've had your first snowfall already! :eek:
Feel free to show it here...

LoL, Tony! :ha: I guess if that's Winter for you than it'll have to do.
It'll be cool to see some other people's real snowy winter shots though...

Great pics everyone!! The weather is still way too warm here for any winter shots and all the trees still have there leaves on (some are going a little bare now and some are still almost all green), but I do have some pics from LAST winter which was one of the most snowiest winters ever.
Spanish moss in snow

This is the reason why so many trees were down

Snow like this is rare. Usually the worst snow storms of the year bring 6 inches the most, but these snow storms last winter brought 14-20 inches on 3 occasions!! I wonder if this winter will bring the same problems; anything can happen!!

Wow Sherry! That amount of snow really amazes me! Ive never seen anything like that by me before. Does that happen almost every winter, or is it just a once a decade type of snow? Great pic btw!
The Hollyberry Lady
11-03-2010, 04:35 PM
I must confess Alex, the pic is not my own...it's just one I found on the internet. :ha:
However, we do get snow each year at least once that's the equivalent to the amount in the picture...and Penny definitely does in her location of Ontario also.
It's not fun Alex, and some mornings you just dont want to deal with it at all...
Have you ever imagined having to spend a solid half an hour or more, scraping ice and snow off your car, just so you could get to work?! :eek:
Or how about walking to the bus stop on a sidewalk with snow as high as your thighs
or deeper?! http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/emo2.gif
It's just ridiculous!
How would ya like snow this deep?...

Boy, we've sure been lucky. They keep telling us it'll snow but it doesn't! :D
I bet one of these mornings real soon though, I'll be waking up to this...
http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/winter29-1.gif
I've got the camera ready to take a shot of our first snow covering of the season...which will likely be in about two days! :ha:

Here is my house and front yard from last winter. I hope we do not get this again for a long long time. Supposedly it only snows and sticks once every ten years here. We shall see!

Well we didn't have to shovel our sidewalks, but they did have to salt the bridges! I don't like cold weather or the white stuff so it was a rough 24 hours for me! HA! HA! :ha: ~J

Let's see how you all do when its almost up to your waists with 5' drifts and you're forced to go "play" in it. (This was from last year in Jan. I think)

12-01-2010, 06:16 PM
Not me! Thank you very much! Y'all are welcome to come visit me in the winter. It will be warm to you guys compared to that!!! Shoot Bob, I still remember the picture of you out in that in your BARE FEET!!!
Thanks Sherry! They didn't mind too much. I had a couple of burnt leaves that I trimmed off a couple of days later. If you can call them burnt I guess! :) ~J

BRRRRRRR! :coldbanana: Sherry that just makes me shiver just looking at it. I know it will get worse for you guys before it gets better.
Bob how is your ensete tent holding up? I saw on the news today a really bad mess on an interstate in New York because a heavy dump of snow. Folks were stuck from yesterday at stand stills. Did you get that also? ~J

The Ensete tent's actually doing quite well and retaining quite a few more degrees of heat overnight that I expected, even though we've hit mid 20's it hasn't gotten below 42 F ... best I can tell. ( I have a remote sensor in there). I did have to lash the whole frame to the house because of wind and it wouldn't have lasted a long winter standing on it's own if I didn't.... so far .. so good.
The snow dump was about 4 1/2 hours north from here and we haven't had anything but flurries that didn't stick so far.... getting cold though.

They're here clearing our lot right now but it's still snowing! When it will end, no one knows. Even the garbage bins are buried. Don't know where we'll put our garbage...
I can't even imagine anymore snow than this but they're calling for more! :eek: It will be unreal tomorrow morning. I'll be sure to take shots. This is the most snow we've had in years.
Stay warm everyone. Don't think I can drink anymore hot chocolate or I'll explode! :ha:

It's still snowing here today too but the sun is shining a bit this morning, which is kind of nice. Lots of things are closed here today and the buses aren't running at all. The roads and the sidewalks are getting cleared, but not fast enough.
Winter in here!!!

When all is said and done though, it's kinda pretty and nice to look at. :D I like it that we'll have snow for Christmas because we've had years where we didn't.

Thanks for letting me know Olaf. Funny the building next to ours that's owned by a much more responsible person, hasn't got even one icicle on their building. :eek:
Why am I not surprised!

I said that to my mom this morning Olaf..."that thing has the potential to kill someone or seriously hurt them"!!! It could also cause damage to someone's vehicle...hope they've got insurance! No one is parking under it. :eek:
The owners pay for the heat actually but they are notorious for wasting money. The neglect around here is just unbelievable. :(
The snow only just fell less than a week ago and already we have icicles over 12 feet long!!!

Thanks for your information and suggestions Olaf.

Oh Holly, you .... Canadian.
Don't you know the proper way of removing icicles?
...
EDIT: Holly wanted me to demonstrate it in a way that would be more to her liking.
So here's the idea, just in another clothes...

No Olaf, the tenants do not pay any heat costs whatsoever...it's all the owner's responsibility. :ha: This is a joke in itself though because they have never been responsible for much of anything around here.
Not really my problem if they are losing heat but I would think they would be concerned about correcting the problem asap.
The icicle is hanging above people's vehicles and definitely presents a danger. The owner's have been here and have seen it, yet it still remains. :( It's slimming down a bit and was even dripping this morning...it looks like it could fall at any moment! :eek:
It won't be falling on me however! ;)
So here's some more winter pics I took today...

Good morning everyone,
I've thought about posting "winter" pictures here, but I don't think they would be well received as we don't have harsh winter compared to your areas. I do appreciate your pictures, and It helps me appreciate where I live and what I have. May God shine upon ya'll, and may your winter be short. :jalapenonaner:
PennyG
12-14-2010, 08:58 AM
Go ahead and post them Cal.....i for one would love to see them.
I will be down in London on Thursday again, Sherry, we have to get Kait back to write her final exam, so we will be leaving here around 4am to drive her down.
Oh hey, can you PM me your address too, i cant find my address book.
Jack Daw
12-14-2010, 10:14 AM
... we don't have harsh winter ...
Yeah, about that, trust me or not, this is not harsh, considering areas with high population density.
Btw... about you not having a harsh winter... that's precisely why your pictures would be welcome here. ;)
Patty in Wisc
12-14-2010, 02:41 PM
Caloosa, I'd love to see your winter pics! They don't have to be of wild snowstorms...although we just had one here. Turned from rain to heavy wet snow & high winds Sat night.... power went out from lines down..big branches down. Did you see the Metrodome roof cave in in MN? It woulda been some pretty pics to show - snow stuck on everything. 5 ppl in my state died from the storm .. not so pretty:(
Maybe I should post pics of icicles on my house - depending on weather. My attic is very well insulated but I often get icicles on south side where sun melts snow off roof & THAT is what makes icicles form in the shade part down from that. There is shade just at/below gutters so that keeps the melted snow frozen into icicles. There are never any icicles on north side of hous as the sun doesn't melt the snow there. So, icicles are not always formed due to heat loss thru attic - as in my case.

Good afternoon everyone,
I'm going out hopefully tomorrow to do some selling, that will give me an opportunity for some good pictures. Our level of "harsh" will be different.
Better weather to everyone! :jalapenonaner:

Good morning everyone,
Its still snowing here, although not as bad, we no longer have squalls coming in off the Bay, but the wind picks up and causes white outs, with the snow coming off the banks, being as high as they are.
Its still -23 here too.
We definetely have those temps, Patty:coldbanana::coldbanana::coldbanana:
The Hollyberry Lady
12-15-2010, 01:20 PM
Yup, it was true Patty. The cars were stranded on the highway and had to spend the entire night in their cars! :eek:
One guy had three small kids and he was one of the first to be rescued. It was quite something. :(
Wow Pen, sounds like you're dealing with cold temps too. It's snowing like crazy here this morning and doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon.
Stay warm and make lots of hot chocolate everyone! :waving:

Your pics are welcome here too! ;)
Whatever winter is for you in your area should be shown here as well, so please feel free...

We've had mild Winter weather lately and it's been raining so much that mostly all our snow has melted and the Thames River was flooded! :eek:
Although this is a blurry low-quality shot because it was taken through a foggy window, you can still see how the water has come right up over the back and is flooding the grass yesterday...
