Winter began early this year. Yesterdays snowfall was our third significant one, and as I said above, we are expecting another. Of course, there has also been any number of less significant snowfalls.These are a few photos looking out windows and then on a little neighbourhood walk last weekend after another storm.

| Also across the street from our front porch. |

| Mailboxes. Any housing developments after sometime in the nineties have mail boxes, not home delivery. |
 |
| Very few people actually use their garages to park their cars. Most use them for storage. |
 |
| I imagine that one car is being parked for the duration of the winter. |

| Our property backs on to a fairly busy street.They keep the walking path fairly well cleared though. |

ReplyDeleteBrrr! Lovely but oh so cold looking.
ReplyDeleteGosh, looks like you are going to be stuck in for a while. It sure is lovely for photos, but living in that must be a bit aggravating.
ReplyDelete@Gail The truth is that I love it at this time of year. By late February not so much. I also prefer snow to gray and bleak. I do wish it was easier to get and about to take pictures though.
ReplyDelete@Tabor Often, the snow comes in the milder weather -- relatively speaking, of course. Last weekend it was bitterly cold, however.
'scuse me...I had to go get my coat on to read this post!! Uuuugggggg!!!
ReplyDeleteGive me a palm tree Anyday!
Hope Sue is feeling better today!

Beautiful winter scenes. Very Minnesota like to these eyes. As to freezing rain... I'm with you. No thanks. Or as my spouse says if global warming means more ice storm move north from Kansas to Minnesota.... were moving north to Winnipeg.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see you really only have snow to deal with. Toronto is a disaster with an ice storm. We had a nice snowfall and some wind today. We have been missing a lot of the weather excitement so far this year.
ReplyDeleteI trust you and your family will have a delightful Christmas.
When we finally relocate to new England, we plan to have a 2-car garage and unlike your neighbors, we WILL use them for our cars...the basement will be for storage! I have never had a garage in all my years of car ownership, so this will be an appreciated luxury and especially when it snows!
