They're awesome to start with and the snow on them just enhances their mischievousness :)<br /><br />You're really getting hit there, for a place that usually sees little to no snow, and as others have said, it's the weather you're not used to that becomes a problem. And I know what you mean about the light. It's one of the good things about snow. Without it, everything here is brown and gray and quite dreary.<br /><br />Snow days are good :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-50391374655170156452018-03-01T17:16:00.536+00:002018-03-01T17:16:00.536+00:00That's true - one of the things I enjoy about ...That's true - one of the things I enjoy about snow is the change in the lighting from all the reflection it causes. A snow day - they usually gummed up my teaching plans, but I loved that sudden day off anyway.

Then yesterday it started to dribble rain a bit, heavy in the night, still at it and they say for the next 4 days, small break and then again this coming weekend. It's like the season got shifted about 6 weeks. This should have been happening in December. We got snow in San Jose on Mt. Diablo.<br />Looks beautiful where you are, like where I grew up in the high desert of Oregon.TJ Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18302345097335357731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-52618180585206330732018-03-01T16:29:17.679+00:002018-03-01T16:29:17.679+00:00Okay, you win.

I remember when I was young in New Jersey, we had snow days and didn't go to school. If we exceeded four days, then we had to make it up at some point. I hope you just get to enjoy the snowy white sparkly beauty of it, and then it will all disappear and the daffodils will return.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-19083654080316017152018-03-01T15:43:25.424+00:002018-03-01T15:43:25.424+00:00You prompted me to check the Abbey Road webcam.

As an example, my medical policy under traditional Medicare: prior to Obama, disability recipients were not eligible to purchase one to cover what Medicare does not. Now, though we can, the prices are exorbitant, so most don't afford them. The average cost for someone like your mother is about 2300 per year. Mine was $7000. My insurance guy says the insurance industry is to blame for deliberately pricing folks out of them.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-82666673912639047302018-03-01T09:54:57.784+00:002018-03-01T09:54:57.784+00:00Oh -- LOL!

He meant to say that southerners are soft (i.e. not battle hardened and likely to moan about the slightest weather challenge). Here in Yorkshire we regularly refer to people from London and the south as "southern softies". By the way, I loved the gargoyle picture... and not a shop front or a passer-by in view today!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
