I thought when Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone in the first quarter of that Viking game in mid-October it was some kind of karmic payment for a relatively snowless and mild winter. Except for a few eyeball freezing days here and there, it's been one of the more *pleasant winters on record.
However we're looking forward to the "snowiest week of the winter" just as Rodgers is healing up nicely
in the Pebble Beach sun with Danica Partick. I find it suspicious is all.

I almost got stuck down the road from here where I shouldn't have been in the first place. Hoorah for good tires and AWD

Too collld! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
It's 13˚ with a 1˚ wind chill factor right now so I have to agree, Indrani.
DeleteI could stand a day or two, but not more than that! Snow does make for lovely photos, even though it's colder than I care to be :)
ReplyDeleteThat's how i feel Betty. I guess I need to step up my snow photo game.
DeleteLooks very cold, hope you are keeping warm. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying, guess I'll have to stop shaving my legs cuz everything helps (;
DeleteIt seems that only part of the planet has "winter surprised"
ReplyDeleteIn the Scandinavian part of Europe is very cold, in the rest not so.
In the Netherlands only a few nights were very cold, but no snow.
Greetings from the Nederlands! 😅
That's what most of the season has been like, just some crazy cold here and there and not much snow, but it seems as if the universe or Mother Nature or something is exacting payback.
DeleteWe had mild winters here in Ohio the past two, but so far this winter, we are seeing more snow and cold. But still, for us, we are on the milder side of some winters that I remember. Great photos. Like the hot chocolate one and caption. lol

It's so much more peaceful in the winter and I can't get enough hot cocoa these days, Pe Bea. It's been like that here but I swear as soon as Aaron Rodgers healed it all went south (or north).
DeleteComing down heavy today. Supposed to be changing to freezing rain soon.
ReplyDeleteUgh, I've been trying to get the nerve to go out in this but the snow is coming again and who knows when it will stop. Well, the weatherman knows but I forgot what he said. To me it sounded like, "Grab your camera, get groceries, run a few errands, check on everyone then park in the garage for as long as the hot chocolate and cookies hold out."
DeleteOh.... there is so much snow :). I love the three from the first picture :) Next to the little house!
ReplyDeleteThere is too much snow, here is none. :)
It's going to start up again tonight and go for a few days. I think it's making up for the lack of any we've had so far. I've noticed more Christmas trees planted on the lakes this year, I should do a post on that but it might involve me getting out of the car. I wouldn't mind no snow again.
DeleteA lot of snow ! And I think it is very cold! Interesting photos!
ReplyDeletetake care of yourself !
We're way below the average but I think it's going to get crazy by this weekend. So far the only problems I've had have been in driveways and parking lots!
DeleteOooooo lordy I hate drivin' in the snow with traffic. I always make the hubby drive whenever I can that's for sure and walking in it is out of the question for sure. I'd rather stay home & hybernate for sure! hahaha~ Thanks for stopping by! hugs Following your social networks...
ReplyDeleteThe parking lots were the ones that got me and the driveway could have killed somebody cuz of that kid on the ATV in a hurry to go nowhere. It doesn't take much to get your snow legs back but there will always be idiots on the road (and in the parking lot and on the ice and speeding down county park driveways).
DeleteWell, I spoke to soon. I can't find any of your social networks... sorry!
ReplyDeleteHello, Dolly! You must get that a lot, lol. The FB page is linked on the right but I lost the Twitter, Tumbler, LinkedIn, Google what have yous when I redesigned my blog a few weeks ago. My Twitter handle is @dishcurtain and Instagram is candydishcurtain.
DeleteA real winter! Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteGreatings from Bucharest! Today is raining here...
All the best and take care!
It's getting there, let's see what tonight brings, Suzana. I'll trade you!
Deleteauch, people NEVER learn that winter comes with bad road conditions :( Totally the same in Sweden.
ReplyDeleteThat was a crazy one ten years ago and people are still talking about it, NF.
