I spotted the first blossoms on the more intrepid plum trees.

it has been mild.... a few days below zero but now it is suppose to be in the 30's. .....

at least it feels that way...high 40's melting all of the snow!

I lived in Fla in the 70's and 80's and it snowed there once before, Jan, 73, but in all my years of living in Fla, it never got as cold as it has been these last 2 weeks. Now in NC and it snowed up here 15" last month and has been cold as a witch's ... since then, hasn't snowed or been this cold here since 77, from what I've been told. Lets hope it warms up a bit when furthur and the party rolls into town in Feb. Peace, love, dead.

We have had 12 straight days of mornings colder than 45 heck even the iguanas are freezing.cold cold cold There were snow flurries about 5 miles from my house. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

These last two dawns we had snow in Bretagne ,right up to the atlantic ocean where I live ! I had not seen snow here in 7 years , and I wish we could get snow for christmas too !

How's everybody after that storm? Need something? Let us know.

wasn't too bad this time, even find a place to park my car on the street.

Winter The air must be discontented too, as it throws jagged icy daggers at my face. Mottled black and grey sky, echoes depression like a chorus of sympathetic, yet helpless friends. The snow has no choices, or opinions. It simply lives it's life as the snows before. Born of clouds, it falls through air, joining it's siblings on the ground below. Dogs and Children revel in it's family reunion. It's kinder to them, I thought while shivering. Frozen breath and wet clammy eyes, watching a world turn from green and brown to white. Age and Winter do not mix, I mused again. Like Cognac and Ginger Ale. The fit's all wrong. This scene is for the Canines and kids. The rest of us just trudge along.

That snowstorm was a good start to winter here in Peterborough, Ontario. Did it meet your Montreal standards, Richard? There's a seriously slippery layer of ice on all the roads, due to the quick transition from snow to rain, then freezing. Still snowing now. Almost good enough to put my skates on and glide cross-country into town. Winter is here!
