Finally a snowstorm! That may sound a bit silly but the past two weeks without any snow during the holidays was truly not fun nor was it pretty. It was a dark and dreary for the holidays. I missed the wet snow flakes falling on my face when walking outside Christmas Eve; I missed the snow banks that looked like the wall of a fort protecting me when I walk on the sidewalk. The days are still short although slowly lengthening and the snow is necessary to give light in our wintry world…my world!
Today is Sunday and it has snowed nonstop for the past 36 hours and it’s my first day back at work. I actually look forward to walking to the bus stop and hearing the crunch crunch underfoot. And tonight will be even nicer as I walk late in the evening in the middle of the road as I know the sidewalks in the city will not be cleared…it’s only Sunday, the city knows they have until Monday morning to get things cleared up on major arteries including sidewalks.

That looks like it was quite a snow storm. We seldom get much here in the UK, especially the south. Our time for snow flakes is anytime from now until April, but it usually comes and go’s within days. London can’t cope with snow and grinds to a halt each time. Happy crunching! 😉

Acutually it was not so bad but today it turned into freezing rain….pretty but scary with many without hydro…missed a bit today let’s hope the weather behaves.

I love the haiku–so pretty! Freezing rain is the WORST, in my humble or not opinion.

yes, well that is the weather today…I’ll post some photos…I braved a walk to the grocery store to get batteries and candles in case the hydro shuts down.
