The snow has been so pretty to watch.... at first. But let's consider that my last pictures were from the evening of December 14, and I have been able to leave the house just twice since then, one of those two times sliding through a red light to get my cat to a vet appointment. We are not used to having this many days of ice or snow in this area, so it is wearing the nerves of even the die-hard cold junkies.
With more snow, then freezing rain (that's always fun...) then high winds, then more snow in the forecast, we will probably be opening our Christmas presents in March, at this rate. But it IS pretty! Hope you are warm, dry and happy!
Yes I am warm, because I'm wearing my blanket like cardigan and my 'mitaines' (those are gloves with half fingers, so I can still type!). I never want the heating too high because of environmental reasons and it gets off after 11 pm...which is too early for me. But I can leave my house always, we live in a moderate sea climate. Though I think the snow is very pretty. Enjoy these cold, dark yet cozy and sparkly days before Christmas!

Brr, looks cold! Stay warm and safe. We always use those snowstorm days to catch up on last season's "24" episodes.

'Tis the season!
Winter as much as it may try the patience(and the back from all the shoveling) gives us an opportunity to takes things a little easier, cocoon ourselves within our humble abodes and reflect on the year that has passed and the new one yet to arrive.
To hear that you had to endure its more ugly side to get the kittie to the vet shows your love and dedication to that furry critter.
We had over a foot yesterday and are expecting another 8 inches tonight. Now that's snow!
I shall escape to a place by the fire and dream of dancing in a pair of the most beautiful and delicate slippers.

We had an ice storm in Indiana Thursday night, and I do have electricity (thank God!), but I have no internet, cable or phone (except my cell phone). I came into my office today to get caught up on my blog viewing and emails.
It is beautiful here with all the ice. I finally got my camera replaced, so I'll try to get some good pictures to post on my blog (whenever I have internet again).
Have a Merry Christmas Karen!!!

Well, I think it's beautiful, and I love it, but then, I prefer the colder seasons. I do love all four seasons of course, but I'm usually WAY ready for summer to end.
I am in my heaven. I'm so happy for dear little Tom cat in that he is doing well. Keep up the good photography.
