I love…….
…..my wind chimes singing to me on a windy day. ….spring mornings. ….sunsets ~ always, any time of the year. ….the first snowfall.

I jinxed it….
….three inches of wet slush and snow this morning ~ I should have kept my mouth shut about the nice weather!

Snow Melt
We had a beautiful, albeit windy day on Thursday. All of the snow you see in these photos I took on Wednesday melted. You may also notice the water standing with the snow. The melting snow has contributed to those puddles. They are beginning to look like creeks. Believe it or not, there has been standing water here for months (although not quite this bad)….possibly since our monster nor’easter on November 12th of last year. We have had incredible amounts of rain this fall and winter, with a splash of snow here and there. The water levels in the reservoirs and lakes are higher than I have seen in a very long time. These images were taken on my…

Let It Rain?
Our forecast for Wednesday was a rain/mix with a chance of snow showers…on my way to work, it was raining lightly, and then it began to snow…. ….and after I got to work, it began to snow harder……. …..and harder……… ….we began to hear rumors that the College was going to be closing ~ excitement was in the air. You can’t tell from the photo above, but to the right is quite a steep hill which leads down to our parking area and the maintenance shops. Almost right after the rumor began, a semi truck came to make a delivery….he began to go down the hill….slid sideways and got stuck ~ blocking the…

The First
As we sit and wonder what the third storm in two weeks will bring, I thought I would show you some photos I took after the first on January 30th. We haven’t experienced the snow our friends to the north of us have, but this storm brought a substantial amount for us. This is the storm that brought us the most snow we have seen in this area in a few years. I got up bright and early the next morning to blue skies and sunshine. These are my snow shovelers…..my oldest and her boyfriend. They did an excellent job clearing the walk and around the Jeep….and hamming it up for the camera. 🙂 My…

Outside My Window ~ 2.7.10
Outside My Window…is sunshine and blue skies at 8:15 a.m.. The temperature this morning is 24ºF and a breeze creating a wind chill of 13ºF. Our high today is forecast at 35ºF with sunny skies. Oh, and of course……there is snow and ice. Yes, another fun filled weekend of winter weather. Actually this weekend was different from the last….we got more rain and sleet prior to the snow this time around. The snow was much wetter than last weekend which resulted in more objects being covered either fully or partially with snow. Some of the trees are quite beautiful with the snow and ice stuck to the branches. Fortunately there is…

Snowy Saturday
The day started out with some sleet which soon turned in to a very wet snowfall. The snow ended earlier this evening and the temperatures have dropped considerably. Prior to the snow, I refilled the bird feeders around my house. I liked this photo of the male and female cardinals at the feeder and the little visitor on the pole. Vintage Soft Grunge Texture #14 by Shadowhouse Creations applied.

As The Day Ends
I posted a photo of this creek here prior to the snowfall this past weekend. We all know I have a thing for sunsets so when I saw this shot, I couldn’t resist. 🙂

That was then…..
…..and this is now…… I got my photo! 🙂

Outside My Window ~ 1.31.10
Outside My Window…is sunshine, beautiful blue skies…..and oh yea ~ lots of snow!! I took a ruler out this morning in the front, 6 inches. But I have to agree with neighbor, I think there was more yesterday before the sleet came in the early evening. It did sleet for a little while, then we got maybe another inch on top of that. If you walk out on the roadway, you can hear the ice crunching underneath your feet. Authorities are still recommending everyone to stay off the roadways unless you need to travel. I have no need to travel that badly! Many places were closed yesterday, including the mall…
