OMG IT'S SNOWING!

[seniorcats]

Dear Miss Bad Mad Bo,

It snowed around 1:00Am and the darn stuff is still here. Had to be cleaned off the car windows. Disgusting!

LOL! It's sunny and nice out here!

Aww! That stinks! How cold does it get by you? Do you get a lot of snow there (or a little?)

EDIT: To make it easier, I understand the Celsius temperature scale lol (not a lot of people around here do... it's scary...)

Today it is a.... maximum of 7 Celsius (the little degree symbol is just too much work to find lol) with a minimum of 3 tonight, but it went down to -2 last night. It's very dry for a change but set to rain tomorrow apparently! :X

We get a little bit of snow sometimes, but it never settles for long- it just sort of melts. When I've been further North I've seen lots of snow on the ground settled- it's not fair!

Supposedly the average UK temperature this winter is to be around 4 degrees celsius.... It's always a little warmer down South here in Bristol than it is further North....

^^ snow bunnies with costumes. Amazing photo, seniorcats! Where's the human in there, trying to copycat those snow clowns? Sno plows.

I have a photo of eastern cottontail (beeler J) digging in the snow (ice-capped snow) outside our living room window from last winter. Was a hoot to watch her. AND I took a picture of her sitting on top the hay bales eating leftover Oxbow orchard grass. She gets some winter handouts by our house. Oats, shredded wheat, cheerios, cilantro, romaine. And she can nibble the hay bale and bark all she wants to. Squirrels, cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches, get a bit of seed also when it's super nasty outdoors. Our squirrels come and beg, cutest beggers ever.

2007/08 - the winter of 489 million inches of white fluff. Very pretty, serene & peaceful while it's falling. Not so much fun to shovel, nor the bitter frigid temps that come with.
Unless you can snuggle in the house while the wind is howling, furnace adequately heating, and food in the cupboard for the Bunnies. (downside is the heating bill!)

Love the fall and winter, tf

Cold ain't easy when you creep up on dinosaur age, I agree! WATCH OUT FOR ICY SPOTS so no body here breaks an ankle.

Love That Photo! :hearts Keep warm and cozy everybody.

It's 2*C here and so cold!! I've just been to my stables riding and my toes are like blocks of ice. I've swaddled Smokey inhis horse rugsto make sure he stays snuggy tonight as it is set to get even colder!:grumpy:

I'm making sure Millie is tucked up warm tonight, having a nice hot bath then settling down with a good film with the central heating on. It's too cold to be venturing outside!!

You all should have seen my mil's face when she saw the snowstorm warning in Ontario, and the fact that it stretched quite close to here. Hehehe. Anyway, there were flurries all night but no real accumulation. Sure worth seeing her face though

 

[TreasuredFriend]

Who'd wanna be Santa Claus?!? Yofi?, Clover?

- I'm watching the box elder bugs stampede, overtake our garage and every crack and cranny, warm patio pane, crawling on the computer desk. Ride on my t-shirt upstairs to the bedroom. In the kitchen, baths, ...

I think they've stopped mating, not real sure. :X Do Bugs exist in snow?!!

Oh gosh I'm just remembering seeing pics of your snowstorms last year!! They looked terrifying!!

Now that much snow I wouldn't like.... Just enough for it to have a nice snowy, wintry appeal.

Jess, I wish I could be staying in tucked up in the warm but nooo, I have to go out tonight. I shall be wrapping up warm though, because apparently it's only 1*C here at the moment! :shock:

 

[kherrmann3]

I wish it stayed around 4*C here... From January-February it is considered "warm" when it's -9* or -10*C. It's really depressing. PLUS, there is a wonderful "wind chill" that makes it even colder/nastier. I've had my contact lenses freeze while they were in my eyes before (NOT FUN). I've also had my eyelashes freeze...

Bah... Humbug.

 

[Brandy456]

Its snowing here tooo!

Its crazy.

We had a major winter storm blow through here yesterday.

Our area got mostly rain and wind, but 5 miles away they were getting heavy snow and freezing rain. They're still having issues as of this morning with all the downed trees and power lines.

 

[Brandy456]

We got 25 inches of snow I belive..

I'll take some pictures later..

The dog is scared of the snow and wont go out, he cried and groweld when I tried to get him out. I guess I'll have to be gratefull that he is pee-pad trained from when he was sick.

 

[kherrmann3]

Wow! That stinks, Brandy456!

Try snow-blowing a path for him? That's what we had to do with my parent's terriers... They were too short to bounce through the snow, and we had to make them an area to pee!

 

[Brandy456]

I live in a building, condo to be exact.. annd I dont have a snowblowwer.

 

[kherrmann3]

Awww. Poor Puppy. Hopefully it won't stick around too long (or stay that deep!)

 

[Brandy456]

But snow is alot better snow-form.. and not a puddle.
