I should be working but what the heck, it's SNOWING, man!

http://pics.livejournal.com/gillyp/pic/0007pe3z

It was a wee biut too snowy and treacherous underfoot to go tramping through forests and moors so I went for a stroll down the back of the house...

Where there's a path that was a railway line till 1963.

Just a path now though.

SNOW SQUEE!!!

It's still coming down hard out there.

These pix might have uploaded out a wee bit larger than I intended - sorry! Not dial-up friendly, for sure.

location: Getting warm and dry by the Aga

Oh, those are wonderful! especially for those of us stuck in the sub-tropics :)

The sub-tropics have their charm but I think I'm genetically predisposed to a cold climate, I don't do well in the heat.

Enjoy your weather, whatever it is today. :o) - we're getting the impression from the news that the US was having an uber-cold snap. I guess it's not reached that far south. *g*

Well, the locals are complaining because it is getting in the 30s (f) at night. I myself could do with a bit more winter! But then, I liked living in Chicago :)

definitely has the UK beat when it comes to cold weather. ::nods::

Those are really lovely. I like the one of the bridge

I love that picture of the bridge with the view of the path beyond. I was really happy with how it turned out.

Aren't you all snowy yourself hon?

Oh, ohhhh the pics are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing :-)

I love snow! *G*

(6.45 and it's still snowing! ::meep!::)

Ooohhh! Pretty piccies!
And no, we have no snow here.
Boo.
:o)

No snow? Oh no! ::pets the lui:: It's been snowing heavily all afternoon, there's about 6 inches out there now and it's still coming down. ::wibble::

Oh wow - look at the pretty! We has no snow. We is sulking. It did sorta snow for a bit this afternoon, but it was that big fat wet sort that doesn't stick. No good at all. I love your pics, especially the railway bridge.

You no snow either? I weep for you! It was weird, one minute raining, next minute I looked out the windy and there was 4" of it on the ground.

I expect it'll all be gone by tomorrow but it was nice while it lasted.

How beautiful it all looks. I absolutely love the one of the train tunnel. May I "borrow" it and a couple of others for my wallpaper slide show? Pretty please with maple sugar on top? *g*

I would be thrilled and honoured if you used my pix babe.

It came down at such a rate, quite took me by surprise. I expect it'll all be gone tomorrow but it was nice while it lasted.

Thanks so much! I love the pix! =>}

Our snow (of which we got 10 cm more last night) is probably here for the duration, although once in awhile we get a thaw in February, but I don't think that would melt all we have at this point. =>}

Weather here is nothing of not changeable. It could be 20' tomorrow - unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Tis true. I really, really DO love our Winter here. =>}

[link] [parent] [reply]

Wow! It looks fantastic! We've had snowfall too, but there aren't many places to be that spectacular.

We haven't had much snow here for many years so we get all excited when we get some. It'll probably all melt tomorrow but I enjoyed it while it was here. :o)

I would think your snow would be much prettier than ours.

Very cold in person, I don't doubt, but the pictures are surreally ethereal.

I love the cold, love frost and snow. Hate the rain which is set to return sometime today, sadly. ::heaves a sad sigh::

It's gorgeously sunny out there now but snow's all melting now alas.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Beautiful! and I'd rather 'ave some of that than the 33 degrees pre-thunderstorm I've been chasing rugrats around in all day :)

Me too. I lived in a tropical climate for years and I never really got to like it. I think I'm genetically predisposed to the cold. *g* 33 degrees, huh...? O:!

*grin* I wouldn't call ye olde Bungendore "tropical" - far from it. But we are having a bit of a muggy summer"...

[link] [parent] [reply]

love the pics - reminds me of home. the first one especially is artistic - i'd recommend blowing it up and framing it, because it's not everyday you snap a pic like that.

So, where's home?

Thanks for the kindly comments, chuck! It's not that often we get this kind of weather these days so it was fun to re-live the old days and go walking in the snow.

'home' is the greater St Louis area - i say greater because there's a county on the IL side of the Mississippi River that's functionally one big suburb of the city. there's also a town called Alton in that county that has this park with these beautiful old trees. you go there in the fall and shuffle through a carpet 6 inches thick of leaves - all reds, golds, and oranges - it's amazing. winter in that area tends towards a little more snow than the rest of the place, because it's so close to the river. seeing the park in winter is just amazing.

long comment, but that's immediately what i thought of when i saw that first picture - it gave me this 'coming home' feeling, which i totally value and treasure. so i owe you a debt of thanks! :-D

Well gosh golly, you're more than welcome!

Wow, those are truly gorgeous pics -- definitely frame-worthy. And that's a *stile* on that fence by the gate, isn't it? Believe it or not, there are not stiles here -- I've only seen them in England. *Nostalgic*

I'm glad you enjoyed them - no skill involved on my part, really; it really was just that lovely out there.

There are a lot of stiles around here but that's not one, just a gate.

there are not stiles here
Interesting. I suppose... ::thinks:: I don't think you have the same tradition of ancient rights of way and public footpath laws - or maybe I'm wrong? Stiles can be more than a tad annoying tbh, if you've got dicky knees or a dog with you. *g*
