Between the cold and the snow I haven't got out as much this winter. As I am recently widowed, it makes for a lot of long lonely days and evenings. Our knitting group was canceled for snow, and this being the bright spot in my week, it was a downer. More snow may be coming wed

My plan was to catch up on my quilting. Unfortunately we had no power for two days. Did a lot of shoveling of snow. Thanks goodness we have a gas stove. We were able to eat with our house at 57 degrees. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. :-)

We often get a lot of snow but this year we don't have alot mainly because it rains after a snowfall. I love the snow. DH plows and snow blows us out when we get drifted in. I love to watch it snow--I sew and look out the window. I am never bored and never have cabin fever and I have lived here 32 years. I will try to post a pic of a snow storm from last week.

You Win!!!! I have never seen that much snow. where can you go with that much ? wouldn't most places be closed? Perfect time for quilting !!!!

We are from the Houston Texas area, Outside drinking wine and eating cheese. Enjoying the 70 degree weather. Sorry hear about ya'lls weather. DH is in natural gas business. Says to use all you want and can. lol I sure wish we could get some snow. Growing up without it it would be a great joy to have for a change.

WOW Send me some!!!!!!!!

This is incredable. How do you guys take this? I guess you get use to it.

I'm beginning to feel "too much" snowed in. When we had the last storm, on Thursday, I just watched TV and napped. It gets to the point where you don't even want to shovel out anymore because it will just snow again. The kids love all of the days off from school that they are getting, though!!

I was a teacher for almost 30 yrs. and looked forward to an occasional 'snow day'...now, it means that I spend most of the day shoveling snow...NJ has had more that its share of it...anyone know the address of 'Mother Nature'? I sure would like to drop her a line to tell her enough is enough...lol...my sewing machine is sitting there, alone, untouched...while I nurse my backache !!!!

Well, it's getting to be a bit much up here in my neck of the woods. The kids at school are so used to the schedule being messed up that they are spending more time speculating about the next snow day and less time focusing. We've had one snow day for the kids, two delayed openings and one early release, oh and one snow day for a teacher workshop day. The thing I really don't like is that we get an automated phone call at 5 in the morning letting us know about the change in schedule and then all the sleep is done for the morning. I'm starting to wake up around 5 every day and everyone who knows me knows that I am not a morning person.
I have gotten a bit more sewing done, though. As soon as my report cards are done, I hope to get more done.
Next possible storm here - Wednesday, so 'they' say.
:) lots2do

Oh how I miss the snow. Please keep sending all the beautiful pictures. They bring back so many fond memories of when I was a kid and lived northwest of Chicago.I still miss the days of sledding and ice skating with my Dad back when I was 15. Now I'm 60 and still love the snow.

I love that picture but did you notice that the cars are traveling on the "wrong" side of the road? :-D

Loved it! Had to take time out to shovel but got lots of unexpected time to quilt. No cabin fever here.

As an escapee of all that weather, I can remember very well how you feel. The first few storms are great to catch up on your quilting projects. Then things start getting a little funky and you need an escape, any where if just for part of one day to bring you back in touch with the outside world. That did something to reset my confinment attitude. The one thing that always gave me the greatest hope that I would survive was when The Flower Show came to Boston, MA.

i love being snowed in. there's only one problem: hubbies are snowed in, too, and they always WANT things and NEED things. and they never know where things are. then i wish everything would melt and he could get to town.

Very observant! I didn't see that. Guess it isn't my street after all.
:lol:

HA HA they are a nuisance aren't they? LOL

i love tostay home an sew when it is snowing !!!! but i want it gone when i have to go out in it !!!, i dont mind the snow it is the cold i dont like

We, in the Pacific North Wet, have had 3 days of sun (and warm temperatures) in a row. Terrifies me thinking what this will mean for us in February! I'm a skeered!

Enjoy your snow. It's 42 degrees celcius outside at the moment so the only thing to do is stay inside, stay cool and quilt!

WOW! I just heard from a relative today living in Boston, saying she had 12' of snow on the curbs. I really feel sorry for all the Easterners.

We live south of Salem, OR, and I think I counted the flakes that fell last month. An unusual, warm January, but never more than a couple inches of snow each winter. Hope spring comes soon for you.

Thanks for the great pictures, here in Central Texas, if we get a little snow it is a big deal...as I was looking at all these pictures, I found myself wishing for alot of snow..but we aren't prepared for it, I guess the Good Lord knows that Daaaaaaa

We, those who may need you on those days, thank you very much for your fortitude!

I am always happy in my home. I could stay here for months at a time and never mind a bit. In fact, sometimes DH has to drag me out to be sociable, LOL. I think I have the makings of a hermit in me.

I have been on Greyhound buses through Colorado that looked just like that. It is an eerie felling being in a very tall bus, and not being able to see over the snow walls! Brrrrrrr!

We get lots of snow, but have only ever been actually snowed in for 3 days. We have a generator for emergencies and plenty of food in the freezer and pantry. We are prepared!

OMG! Think warm thoughts!

Hysterical!

O my, Linda that is a bunch of snow. I had that much one
time in our yard it was a freak one time thing thank God
Our part of Texas wasn't used to that much at one time.
Keep warm Girl. :D

I don't think it's photo-shopped. When I used to ski, I used to drive from N. California to Bend, Oregon and had to drive around Crater Lake. Driving around the Crater Lake area was just like that - - big tall walls of snow with a valley for the cars! It was a bit creepy! What if you have car trouble? There's no place to pull over! But I'll never forget it!

Thank you to all of you for sharing your pictures of the snow. We got 6 inches of the beautiful stuff a week ago, but it's all gone already. Today was 72 degrees. Too hot for my taste - - I'd rather have the snow.

If only getting snowed in meant that we would have absolutely nothing else to do and could get some time to quilt. If only!!! :)

I love the snow and have never minded being "snowed in". But....enough is enough. LOL A friend sent me this picture and I thought it was very appropriate.

I love the snow - It does give me lots of time to sew!! Someone said it best however - hubbies are snowed in as well!! - but as far as I am concerned I am glad, as one of these pictures will show. 8-)

Icicles seem to be a problem this year but my birdies seem to be happy as long as we keep them fed!

I love an excuse to not have to go and do anything but sew and play at home. What the heck, it is winter after all!

now that's SNOW!

Love it here in NY and my lake hse in RI...When your retired and don't have to go out....let it snow let it snow let it snow..and I hear more this Tues-Wed.

My favorite of all the photos

We did miss church twice from blizzard conditions. So far we have not missed any work. That being said, to get to work, we are hoofing it up and over drifts in the driveway to get to the truck that we have to leave parked at the road. Drifts are too deep for even the truck to get thru', and the fella that usually clears our driveway has been away the last two weeks. My boss's son is coming today with a bobcat to dig us out. When it drifts like this it gets almost like cement, so a snow blower or plow won't do the job. Our driveway is about 450'....it really is getting old not being able to drive up to the house!!!!!

Patti

The picture with the deep snow isn't even from the USA cars are driving on wrong side of the road......plenty of snow in DE love it....

I feel bad for the city dwellers who have to park on the street at this time of year. They have run out of places to put the snow that they shovel from around their cars, it's against the law to throw it into the road and once they get their car cleaned out someone else will come along and take their space :thumbdown: :evil:
