The north wind doth blow and we shall have snow and what will the robin do then, poor thing...It's white outside and in a minute I'm going to have to struggle up a snowy slope to deposit the garbage at my gate -- but apart from feeding the robin that comes to the door every day, rain, snow, or shine, that's as near to the snow as I'm planning to get, thank you very much.
My dd, on the other hand, having walked into work in her wellies and stayed in an empty department until 2 o'clock phoning other people and telling them to go home, finally went home herself and instead of hibernating with hot tea and buttered toast (my favoured option) spent the afternoon having fun.
Here's Rhonda, her "Snow Girl" (show girl?)

Love it, Liz!
I'm with you on the hot tea and buttered toast!
My elder two are trying to work out why their rural school is open when the younger three's townie school is closed. Can't say it makes any sense to me either.
Our village school is closed, Natasha. I think your two are very hard done by!
We had a thaw yesterday afternoon and then another load of snow overnight, but it's thawing again now. Pretty as it looks, I'm rather hoping that that's it.
Jan, I particularly loved the socks to represent sexy long gloves. I still can't quite make out what the pink net bag is supposed to be and I'm afraid to ask... :)
Oh, I know that one, Liz. It's where she keeps her brain.
Oh - and village schools stay open because in theory they are small local primary ones and everyone can walk to them. The bigger the schools, the bigger the catchment area and everyone has to use transport.
I love the photos. I love snow, especially if I have a good book (or two or three...) and a warm fire. We have not had much snow at all this winter in Colorado and I am wondering if we will have a drought. Most of our water comes from the snowpack. I hope everyone got home safely.
We have had a few intense snows here. Once roofs all over Denver started caving in. The last big one was really bad for my husband. His employer did not close down until late even though the state's governor was telling folks to get home. It took him 11 hours in the car to go 15 miles and he still did not make it home. He stayed at a shelter these nice firemen and their wives people made for stranded folks about 5 miles from home.
I hope the snow brings lots of inspiration.
Brilliant, Liz :o)
And in answer to the robin question: ours is chirping at the squirrel, telling him to get off the bird feeder...
You can have all the snow. I like mine where we can drive to it and away from it :) I'll have to send you a pic of the snowman my niece, nephew and son made! LOL, I stayed warm in the truck until it was time to take pictures!
Absolutely, Snookie. In fact my preferred version is on the television -- with tanned, hunky males skiing down it.
It's lingering here and we've been threatened with more. Enough, already...
Hi Merri!
I'm reading a Barbara Samuels at the moment, set in Colorado. Lots of snow in that one!
I'm reading a Harlequin Romance by Linda Goodnight and a historical fiction book called Etta abou the romance with the Sundance Kid. Both are set in the Rockies. It's the weirdest thing. One of Linda Goodnight's characters is so much like our dog trainer. Sheer coincidence. We did not even have Hildie when she wrote the book, of course. Sometimes fiction can be so wonderful.
