More Snow Pics

Don't mind me. Just learning how to download and upload photos so I don't need to ask my kids all the time. For some of us - computers just don't come easy.

do you have snow on the ground perminantly at this time of year or is this just after a big snowfall?

It is permanent, but we have had low snowfalls the last few years. Except for a two foot overnight snowfall early in the season, this years snow has been one and two inches at a time - until last night.

Wing and I went into town last night on a date and had a hard time finding a restaurant open to get a bite to eat. Many streets were unplowed, and most cars were buried. It was kind of fun.

Thanks for sharing PG, very picturesque.

If the forecasters are to be believed, we'll be posting more snow pics from this side of the pond towards the end of this week!

Thanks for the pictures guys.

I fear that climate change means that we won't see that sort of thing here anymore.

At least down here in the south.

It could be that for a while it gets warmer and warmer here too, we had a terrible warmth and unpredictable winter, this year.
But I was reading that with the warmth and the melting of the poles there is a possible that the gulfstream will move and if that will happen it will be up here more like Siberia.

Cheers

Fantastic pics, I have never seen snow like that in person but I imagine that it must be very beautiful!!

All very nice photos guys thanks i'd like to see snow like that some day. my sister emigrates to british colombia next week so it might happen in the next few years.

As for the movment/stopping of the gulf stream/north atlantic conveyor this could well happen but i'm not sure it will happen in any of our life times.

The last time up your way was in 1964

I was old enough to enjoy it hugely.

In the 1960s we had huge snowfalls here. Service stations gave out little orange styrofoam balls - to be placed on car ariels - so other drivers could see you coming at an intersection. Travel off plowed roads was strictly a snowshoe affair.

I remember cutting a knee high branch on a trail behind our house. When I was on that trail the next summer - I could not reach the point on the tree where I'd cut the branch.

Hi Pierre
I knew you speaking about snow would cause mischief. It has been mild since the new year came in. Well this morning the forecasters are telling us our area is in for the worst snow of the winter I wonder if they have been looking at your pics Only kidding M8 its been long overdue and we have been very lucky this year. Our local council will be rubbing their hands with glee as they always use the getting rid of the snow and gritting as the cause of our rates bill going up

Cheers
Tutchi
