Once again the red light flashing in the corner of my computer screen tells me a snow storm is on the way. Schools are closed but most businesses are open and I am off to the store.
The following is the storm warning we are receiving. It is capitalized as that is how it comes. The snow is light for now but the schools are closed.
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY PASSING JUST SOUTH OF NEW BRUNSWICK WILL CONTINUE TRACKING NORTHEASTWARD TO LIE OVER THE GULF OF ST LAWRENCE THIS AFTERNOON. JUST NORTH OF THE LOW A WINTERY MIX OF SNOW FREEZING RAIN AND ICE PELLETS HAS BEEN OBSERVED, WHILE FURTHER NORTH THE PRECIPITATION HAS FALLEN AS SNOW. IN GENERAL 10 TO 20 CENTIMETRES OF SNOW HAS ACCUMULATED
The City does a great job at snow removal but this year the falls have been so regular that there are snow mounds all around.
The annual Snow Fest was last weekend and there was no shortage of snow which made for excellent conditions for making snow sculptures which, for the first time were located around town.
One of the aspects of living here that I enjoy the most is being close to Nature, you do not have to leave town or stray that far from your front door to be near a little wildness.
If local legends hold true there will be one more major storm on St. Patrick's Day and if we have not yet broken a snow fall record we may well do so then.

Great photos, Bob.
I am always amazed at the beauty of snow and ice. Despite the potential dangers and inconveniences that such storms can bring, they leave me in awe...
-
Bob, what a wonderful pictorial from the East coast you have shared with the members of Digital Journal community. The winter scenery and photography is amazing and very professionally done. Please stay warm :-)

We here in lower Michigan got hit Monday night and into Tuesday.
Where I live in Oakland County we didn't get as much snow as other places in Michigan just a few inches. The schools where I live were open but many schools in other cities were closed.
Enjoy your snow storm Bob.:-)
I like your photos. Nice to see someone else with more snow than what we have. LOL

Thanks, there is great beauty ,as to the danger, just after and during a snow fall, there is a fine powder over the ice on the sidewalk just before they are plowed, and sprains and strains are common, as well as bruised bodies and egos. -

Thank you for the kind words, at the moment it is relatively mild, minus 5 C. -

@ Bob Ewing
thanks Cynthia, we could ship, via rail, some snow if you'd like. :-)
I'll tell you what Bob, lets make a deal.
You ship me some of your snow and I will ship you some of your geese that seem to have settled into my neighborhood. :-) -

I have bruised my... um, ego, more than once. LOL -
SHOW! Yuck! I hate the stuff!
It is like a big, ill behaved sheepdog that knocks all the flower vases off tables with its tail or tracks mud on the carpet. It might be fun to play with from time to time but one should keep it out in the yard and not let it into the house. (;oP Woof!
Here in California we keep it up on the mountains where it belongs. LOL

we could use a few geese they usually just fly over head going and coming from somewhere else. -
@ S.H. Mills

same here. -
Here in California we keep it up on the mountains where it belongs. we have it there as well, the mountains nearby have ample snow. -
@ Bob Ewing

There are plenty in my neighborhood. They walk down the middle of the street trespass in yards, eating grass that does not belong to them. Leaving a mess in the yard as they don't have the sense to use the ditch as their outhouse. :-( -

No doubt, but the mistake you guys are making is to allow it down off the mountains and into your streets and front yards! Very ill behaved weather you guys got back there! ;o) LOL -
@ lensman67
SHOW! Yuck! I hate the stuff!
Ummm..."SHOW"? LOL!
Great pics, Bob! We got hammered as well, and have at least 5 inches of the stuff. I gotta get me a different camera, mine just doesn't do the pictures I could take justice! -

We saw geese take over the roads, in small towns in northern Ontario. They did not move when the car came along but just kept on waddling. -

it will not listen but has a will all its own. :-) -
I gotta get me a different camera, mine just doesn't do the pictures I could take justice! I ned a new camera as well, this little nikon is ncie but I need beter. i used to have a pair of 35mm Canon SLR in the days before digital but sold them when we moved. -
I'm looking at one but need to negotiate on the price a bit, I think. I have to go look at it this weekend and then make my decision.

Drat! Betrayed by my spell checker! SNOW. Nasty stuff.
Nice pictures but perhaps you should correct for too much blue? -

Have you tried a rolled up newspaper? LOL -

After 30 years in the business I fought digital tooth and nail but now that I have finally surrendered to the dark side of the force I love the stuff. ;o) -

with the wind as its ally, snow is just too tough for a rolled up newspaper to work. :-) -
Great photo essay Bob!
-
I want to get one soon, my grandbaby is growing too fast and my camera has done seen better days!

@ Susan Duclos

I find it strange that our eyes see what is supposed to be there not what is actually there at times.
I didn't see "show" because the discussion is mostly about "snow" and I knew that was what Lensman was talking about. -

Hey, it's not often that we can pick on lensman...and here he left the door wide open! Feel any of our snowflakes blowing-in, lens? LOLOL! -
Nice photo essay, we hardly get any snow, so this looks Antarctica to us. So much snow. Keep warm.

thanks, the snow has stopped, 8:34 pm AST, mild minus 8 C -
Nice photo essay!
Too darned many memories of snow plows and shovels and drifts and frozen sinuses and block heaters and snow boots for 'every' occasion for this lady!
When I miss the snow, I visit TELLURIDE, CO for a week (great hippy town and great skiing). Otherwise, I'm staying in the toasty warm weather of my southern home.
-
snow boots for 'every' occasion for this lady! I just put liners in my boots and my feet stay warm. Nothing like a good pair of well worn leather boots. -
:) good leather with new liners? can't beat that!
-
I don't own a pair of boots...I get by with heavy (insulated) hiking sneakers!

man's gotta have a good pair of boots.:-) -
@ Bob Ewing
man's gotta have a good pair of boots.:-)
And how many good pair of boots does a lady need?
I just heard that the part of Michigan where I live is to get another 3 to 5 inches of that white stuff starting around midnight. -
And how many good pair of boots does a lady need? as many as she wants. It is bright and sunny but windy and cold here today. -
@ Bob Ewing
as many as she wants. It is bright and sunny but windy and cold here today.
Here it is partly cloudy and no wind. It is cold at 11 degrees.
Probably not as cold as where you are though. -
It is minus 13 C and with wind chill minus 21, i was out walking this am and it is cool, very cool.
-
Definately bitter here too, with wind. I just went out to the mailbox...brrrr!
