It's snowing! :)

[wraithfodder]

Yup, the predicted storm did arrive, although about six hours late. I took the day off (use it or lose it, so I took the last vacation day I had) and I'm glad I did, as twenty minutes after it started, Ithought, I'll run an errand. Went down the road, turned around, came back. Roads were slick and the Fed Ex truck just missed the stone wall!

So, here are some photos from today's snow!




A Christmas tree a few roads down. I couldn't get a decent sharp photo without flash (sure not dragging a tripod around in the snow), so went for the artistic squiggle look ;)




A snowy road, plowed but already full of snow again.




A snowy nebula! No, but it looks cool, doesn't it? I just breathed out and caught it as it froze up :)

Cool pics. And yeah that was nice timing for taking your vacation day.

So yeah, twice this week I've had to leave work early due to an asthma attack from ringing up candles. WTF.

Awesome pics. Thankfully, we haven't had weather like that here yet...

wow, I think it's snowing everywhere but here!

Oh and I'm sure you'll appreciate this from yahoo - best and worst casting of fall 2008 TV:

WORST: Everyone But Car on "Knight Rider"
This remake has a slew of wooden actors and a boring-as all-hell Val Kilmer providing KITT's voice. While the car itself is sexy, we kind of wish that it would shut up sometimes. Actually, if the show was just the car driving around and silently fighting crime, it probably would be better. But anything that involves talking? That's when the trouble starts.

WHEE!! Looks like my road!

We were supposed to get snow, but only got a skiff, then later tonight it's supposed to his 20 below. Like last weekend.

I hate it when your first breath of air when you step outside snaps nose hairs off....

=^.^=

That last photo is great!

Nice shots. I'm across the pond from you, so same storm, lots and lots of white stuff. Ready for tomorrows wave?

Love the pics Wraith ..we got hit by the same storm (even had some thunder snow around 6PM in Hamden). I will be posting the pics I took on my LJ.

Did your AF's go out in the snow?

Hope you take the this the right way.... I don't like the first pic. Seeing roads like that gives me the chills. I hate driving in snow.

I however LOVE the second pic. That is the way to have fun in the snow!!!

Have fun with the next bout thats on the way :D

We just got done with 36 hours of snow that piled up to around 3 feet(really really high for here), and there is more on its way in from the Pac this weekend.

I finally made it out to the road earlier today(only took 5 minutes instead of yesterday's 15) and found that even if we were to get one of the van's free, we'd be SOL as our driveway has a 3-4 foot wall of ice in front of it from the single lane the snow plow carved out.

I'm hoping we can get out of here by Sunday/Monday for basic groceries if nothing else as we are starting to run low on milk. Plus am totally starting to eyeball the icicles as friends *g* can't stand being STUCK for so long(haven't gotten out of here since Tuesday, add in a 16-18 hour stretch of no power = rollicking good times ;) )

It'll be 30 degrees celcius tomorrow. Does that warm you up?
(And I love that last photo)

[aelfgyfu_mead]

I love that last photo; very clever!

[celestial-diary.livejournal.com]

Love the look of the lights & snow.

I sure do want to experience a white Christmas one day. Having to sweat at 35+ degrees heat do sometimes make you feel that it's not a stereotypical Christmas.
