We had another snow storm last night. This time it was the heavy snow that's good for making snowballs, as opposed to the Snowmegeddon's light fluffy powder.

It was incredibly picturesque this morning:

It's been a very snowy year and more is on the way. We are looking at another coastal snow storm coming in Friday with predictions of over a foot. I may have to re-activate the SNOWMEGEDDON (http://www.loungeoftomorrow.com/LoT/showthread.php?t=10188) cam.

Ive never lived in snow and never really been around that much. it always amazes me how photos of it always look like they were taken in black and white.

Wow, fabulous photos Moonie! You live in a beautiful place, the house looks gorgeous blanketed in the white stuff. And the street plowed quickly, who'd you bribe?

I've been wondering about that. Historically our street was somewhere in the middle, not first not last. This year we seem to be tops on the list. So my guesses are:

1. We have some cars with diplomatic tags in the neighborhood, perhaps one of them is a mucky-muck.

2. The CIA has setup a safe house

3. The plow drivers girlfriend lives in our neighborhood.

I vote for option #2 ;)

Pretty! Thanks for the pics.

I'd say I miss snow, but what I really miss is the pretty.

I miss the pretty, but, not the work and the cold wet painful hands.

Where do you live? When will you be home? I say Camp Swank will be now at your house!!

I'll bring the cocoa!!

Very purdy.

But I still maintain that snow is a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

Especially if the Nationals were my local team.

Beautiful photos. I daresay that would look lovely through a double-paned, cold-resistant window.

As East Coast winter scenes go, it's not exactly Queens.

But it'll do.

I looked at the pictures and a few things happened:

1)I was amazed at their beauty
2) I thought you had taken black and white photos until I saw the blue trashcans.
3) I suddenly realized how cold I was and started shivering.

Oh! No, I didn't see him the first time so I had to go back and look. Now I'm shivering again.

These pictures remind me of one of the most beautiful phrases heard from time to time in my childhood.

"It's a snow day!"
