  1. Hmmm. It's pretty. White stuff - definitely snow. I was just surprised because there isn't enough to cover an entire door so that people have to dig out! :) But, then, it's in Virginia. :) Lovely photos, John. Very pretty indeed.

  2. Thank you Celia. Having grown up in New England and lived in NH for several years, I recall snow so deep they had to issue brightly colored pennants and styrofoam balls at gas stations to place on car antennas (which used to stick up above the car roof) so the cars could be seen to coming around a corner piled deep in snow. ;-)

  3. We only got a few inches in Pittsburgh, but is is so cold. Since the winter started before Thanksgiving I am really tired of the cold and snow. I am hoping the cold will kill the stink bugs.

  4. I COMPLETELY agree about the stink bugs! We are absolutely infested with them down here. They are everywhere. I would welcome a straight month of sub freezing and even zero temperatures if it would wipe out the stink bugs!

  5. Wow! And may I say Brrrrr!!! We don't get anything like that kind of weather where I live in California. I don't know how well I'd do in temps like that. I don't like cold weather.

    The snow is pretty to look at in pictures, but I don't know that I'd want to live in it. =)

    By the way, I noticed those windshield wipers on the car. Were they like that before the storm? If not, those must have been some pretty powerful winds.
