Here some pics I took this  Tuesday.  1-9-2010

 

 

My car after I had already cleared it off at least once (maybe twice!)

 

 

My house

 

 

Fire hydrant looks like it's wearing a hat made of snow! :)

 

 

Some planters on my back (side) porch

 

 

My neighbor's pine tree

 

 

Snow on the branches in the tree in front of my house

 

 

Looking across cul-de-sac from my front porch

 

 

Neighborhood kids trying to shovel out cul-de-sac

thanks -- those are beautiful scenes.

Nice! Ours was a colder, drier snow with wind at times, so it didn't cling to the tree limbs like that.

Brings back visions of snow ball battles and hot chocolate afterwards.. Thanks!  Nice photos!

Thanks everyone for the compliments. I wish I could find the pictures I took when we got socked in '04 with a big snow but I don't know where they are. I think they may be on my computer which I am not using (long story).

Move to MI, you can see it up to six months a year, and most of the time, you never have to worry about it melting away (though it may be in your dreams).

The funny thing is is that I think you guys (Northern Indiana, Ohio) got more snow than GR this year, though we have our share.

That must of been the same year we went down to Cincy to escape the snow and ended up with more, as about two weeks had passed (though no parking lots and only the right lanes had as of yet been plowed) since about 20 inches of snow fell in the region. That was insane. So much for our "get away from snow" vacation!

 

Truth be told, though, snow can be pretty when it is fresh, well, until you have to get up and shovel it.

My m-i-l lives in a town called Lewiston in Michigan up near the tip. I haven't been there in many years but I do know they sure get the snow!

 

We usually get about (give or take a little) 70 inches a year. Not like the U. P. or northern MI, but still too much for me.  The funny thing is, in my home town of GR, we get double the snow of Detroit. Allot of our snow comes from our best friend in summer, good old Lake Michigan!
