Several Shades of Grey..... and White
Anyone who knows me knows that doing anything "wordlessly" is next to impossible, but I am going to try very hard to keep my words brief!
In this part of Atlantic Canada we are next to the beautiful Bay of Fundy, that for the most part, moderates our climate. When it is hot in the summer, it is less so on the coast. Likewise when the mercury tickles arctic lows we are comparatively "frosty"!This is one example of good ole Jack's artistry.
The last few days, however, "moderate" does not describe the snowfall accumulation that has taken residence in our city. I'm talking snowbanks that obliterate the "STOP" signs! Honestly, and although I dared not slow down to capture evidence on my cell phone, you will have to take my word.
The wind howls and the snow comes in waves..... literally. Check out this breaking wave outside our door.
The late day shadows play across the wind blown mounds of snow.
I have been outside for longer than I care to be but someone has to relocate the mini alps and the snow blower only does so much. Another view from the inside looking out.
Current weather forecast: Blizzard warning with 30-50 cm of snow expected. This is the 3rd storm this week!!
So about now you should be grabbing a mug of hot chocolate.... or other beverage of you choice... and thanking the snow-gods for sparing you!
Wow! I can imagine if it was like that here in London UK the place would come to a standstill in fact any type of weather brings it to a standstill LOL
ReplyDeleteLovely photos especially the first and last ones.
Thanks for stopping by :-)
Thanks, Steve. our city actually declared a local state of emergency today, so we are pretty much standing still, too! Have a great week
DeleteLove these photos. Wish I was there. Heatwave here in Perth at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIt never fails to amaze me that while we are "doing our thing" here, other parts of the world are in warmth. Would love to visit Australia some time. Tks for stopping by, Mystery Case.
DeleteVery lovely pictures these are!!
ReplyDeleteWhile very nice to see, I surely do not miss the north and the snow.
Keep warm.
Can't say that I blame you for that one, Craftyspices, but it is what it is and we have lots to be thankful for..... weather is not one of them!!!LOL
DeleteThank- you Patrick, glad to see you stopped by.
ReplyDeleteAww your photos are amazing. Its winter here but we dont have snow at all. I wish for wee bit snow =)
ReplyDeleteYou know the saying "be careful what you wish for" LOl Actually it is to be expected if you live in this part of the world. If snow is all I have to complain about, then I am a fortunate person! Tks for stopping by.
Deleteooh beautiful...a pretty face of winter, beside its bitter cold :)..happy WW :)

DeleteIt certainly is cold, Indah nuria Savitri, but it is where we live and we learn to deal with it. Tks fro dropping by.
That is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cascia. Have a great week.
DeleteWow - absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGlad you stopped by, Evelyn, and thanks for the compliment!
DeleteI really want to take some macro shots of ice crystals on glass, but have yet to get a good opportunity. Here in the Tennessee Valley, we have gotten some nasty cold temps and yet as I said the right time hasn't present itself for me to snap some pix. Oh well, nice to meet you through the #WW hop.
ReplyDeleteCome join me today at Curious as a Cathy!
You are most kind, Cathy. I have more opportunities than I need, and would gladly send some your way.lol Heading to your site now. Have a great week.
DeleteThese are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank-you, Angela. You are very kind. Glad you stopped by.
DeleteSo very pretty, but brrrr! The window pics are awesome!
ReplyDeleteBrrr is absolutely right, Tonya. We have 161cm ( aprox 64 inches) in the last 7 days with 30cm more predicted for tomorrow!! Nothing to do but smile, cause I can't change a thing!!LOL Glad to see you drop by.
DeleteAwesome photos and a great take on WW. I love the frosty window.
ReplyDeleteKathy
Thanks, Kathy. With this weather I don't go far from home, so use what I can.
DeleteThat frost photo is absolutely STUNNING!!

Thank you so much OHM. It's nice to be back in the game, and visiting with you.
DeleteI can't even imagine that much snow! Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by. You have a lovely site . Even I have trouble with this much snow! lol!
DeleteWow! That's cold. The last photo was my favorite. Thanks for linking on Amanda's Books and More, south of the Equator. ;)
ReplyDeleteSo nice of you to stop by. Looking forward to seeing you again. Have never been south of the Equator....maybe someday.
DeleteLove the frozen snowflakes. We're snowing again here today.
ReplyDeleteThank you "Quirky Homemaker". It's nice to know you are experiencing winter as well. I imagine the Great Lakes region is beautiful in the "warmer" months. Hang in there!
DeleteGood example. Well-seen!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa. I love your site as well.
Deleteso pretty! we haven't seen a flake of snow yet, but i'm not complaining. :)
ReplyDeleteI can certainly see why you would not complain, Grace, I would have been quite content with a couple of "snow fluffies", but now just have to deal with this.... I so enjoy your posts and look fwd to them all the time.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures Pat, love that you did them in B&W. It was certainly a week to remember, I'm sure we will all reminisce about these few days for years to come.
ReplyDeleteThanks , Monica. It was indeed a week to remember. Actually those pics were not done in b&w, but taken as a normal pic.... just turned out that way.... the kind of day it was, ;-) One advantage of living where we do, is that there is never a shortage of topics. and the weather is always at the top.
