During her first snowfall there, she was amazed at how the locals acted as if they had never seen snow before, seeing how it rarely snows down there. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait for the first snowfall in CT. They've been predicting it for days, but alas, no flakes. Then again, I haven't smelled it, either. It's a nice, clean, fresh smell that I rather enjoy. :)Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387217950712644169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-14098917851943478132008-11-21T18:47:00.000-05:002008-11-21T18:47:00.000-05:00Jane!

Every ten or fifteen years or so we get snow that covers the ground, and it looks beautiful, but life grinds to a stop, because we are not prepared for it.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-62147275877262781232008-11-21T16:21:00.000-05:002008-11-21T16:21:00.000-05:00And I woke up to a mere 14 inches of the heavy wet...And I woke up to a mere 14 inches of the heavy wet white stuff this morning. With more falling off and on all day. I wonder how the cats get around but they do. There are little trails in all the usual places. I leave the garage door up a bit for the cats and today found a snowbird trapped in the garage because it insisted on flying high. It took awhile but I was finally able to herd it out.PseudoPiskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070541512355253553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-37750973063485562252008-11-21T12:55:00.000-05:002008-11-21T12:55:00.000-05:00It very rarely snows right on the Jersey Coast, bu...It very rarely snows right on the Jersey Coast, but when it does...oy. You are marooned indoors all day, but it stays postcard-pretty for a day or two. <BR/>By contrast, snow in New York City was always like a gift-from-God photo by Alfred Stieglitz. A day later it looked grungy and gray.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10020538249548627986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4202458237483635505.post-67119346961314406102008-11-21T11:47:00.000-05:002008-11-21T11:47:00.000-05:00We had snow out this way earlier in the week.

Sometimes if I simply catch a certain glow through the window in my peripheral vision, I feel as if it is winter break and I'm in jammies.Algernonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698040927871199780noreply@blogger.com
