We’ve had snow on the ground since the beginning of November and though some melted in the last few days we have a fresh batch. Late afternoon today driving back from X-mas shopping I tried to snap a few photos. Some were taken from the inside the vehicle as we stopped at the bottom of the driveway to check the mail. The orange markers you see sticking up is our driveway so the snow removal guys know where to plow. Right now it’s not deep (to me ) but believe me it will be, last year we had close to a 100 inches. There is a picture of driving onto my street…, pictures of the house, the backyard, and the neighborhood. Gives you an idea of ‘my life in Michigan’.
For a brief slideshow here:
Yes your flickr slide show works great. What a beautiful home you have. Can’t say as I’d love the weather. If the sun doesn’t shine for two days in a row where I live, I begin to pull my hair out, one at a time of course.
Our weather forecasts change from day to day and I think they underestimated the amount of snow we were supposed to get. However, we have much less than you have. Nice pictures. I will have to check flickr.
Here in Boston we are having our first real snow. It’s snowed lightly all day. No accumulation. But still snow.
Lovely home!! At least you have nice snow. We get rainy mush and ice. How far are you from ski slopes?
I’m returning because I just left a post and received an error message. I’m not going to try to post it again so I’ll just let you know I stopped by.
Beautiful snowy picture!
Janey - glad the Flickr show worked! I hear you about the cloudy days, those pictures were taken as the snow was coming down. Fortunately MI has a decent amount of sun in the winter or I would be pulling my hair out too.
Mary- we typically have snow from Thanksgiving through March. It started early this year and we turned the furnace on beginning of October which is early for us.
Rhea – Boston always gets it’s fair share, enjoy your lack of snow while it lasts.
Lisa – Mt.Brighton is 10 miles from my home. But if you want REAL SNOW and skiing then head up north where the Upper Peninsula meets the lower. Boyne Mt is about 3½ hours north of where I live and it’s gorgeous up there! Definitely worth a weekend visit since you’re from Ohio.
Beverly – thanks for stopping by, sorry you had an error message first time around but it came through fine on my end. Thanks for letting me know.
Love your slideshow–it’s like a Christmas card.
It’s *very* cold here now, the last snow was in 1989–who knows, maybe this will be the year it returns.
When we lived in Colorado, I loved snow in December; it was the rest of the months (March..May…September!) that I did not welcome it.
I like the ‘Words to Ponder,” they are, in my experience, quite true.
Cilicious – I hear you! The snow is pretty but when you live with it for so many months it gets old.
