Yes, we did survive our Christmas snowstorm, blizzard and all. It was sure bad timing for Christmas visiting, but most families just put it off for a day or two and still enjoyed a Merry Christmas. We had a quiet day as usual here, even church was closed. We'll get together with our son and daughter-in-law next weekend I expect.
Mrs. F.G. struggled outside and thought our front door looked nice in the snow, tracks of our morning caregiver and all.
Inside, the drift against the back door had subsided a lot.
The entire door was almost covered the day before.
Yesterday it had calmed down and we were just left with a very snowy landscape, four feet deep just outside the window!
Some interesting drift patterns though, and a moment or two of sunshine.
And spruce trees buried in the white stuff. I think this was a storm for the ages!
Hope you and yours all had a peaceful and safe Christmas! And have you noticed the days getting longer already?
Wow and double wow! That's a whole lot of snow! Glad you took these photos...some memories that will seem exagerated next August...just pull out those drifts against the back door!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's good to know you survived the storm ( and got some great pictures too).
ReplyDeleteGOODNESS! That is a LOT of snow!
ReplyDeleteWe have been seeing pictures of it on our UK news bulletins.
So pleased you are safe .
My good wishes to you and Mrs FG
All the best Jan
Down here I had to turn on the lights early this morning, our summer is changing already. Your snow, is this the worst snow storm you have seen? Brave lady, Mrs F G to be out there, lovely red door, so bright and cheery.
ReplyDeleteThe front door makes a very pretty picture in the snow. Glad the storm is over and you made it through without losing power.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snowy pictures. LOVE the red door.
ReplyDeleteWe have been out walking every day so that helps the winter blahs. Our part of that storm was wind and rain. Great photos of the snow there!
ReplyDeleteWe are past the worst of it, too, and didn't lose power. Now that would have been worse than bad, as we only have electric heat. I also love the red door in the snow. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe front door does look grand in the snow. I'm glad that your caregivers have been making it to you.
ReplyDeleteMemories of winter storms past, glad you were inside safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteChristmas day we had pleasant weather. we finally came out of the deep freeze.
ReplyDeleteI know that you are largely ‘shut in’ but you do have some good looks out.
ReplyDeleteMiss seeing your heron, err ostrich, but it must be totally covered.
ReplyDeleteI love the red dot!!
ReplyDeleteMy son drove north to Erie , Pa and that awful storm just dumped a few feet there, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteThat is an impressive drift!
