Your photos show its beauty but I know that your area is not prepared for it. In Breckenridge, we have snow about 9-10 months of the year - sometimes even in July and Aug at high altitude. However, I've never been "snowed in." The town and county do a good job with the plows.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-42767950627775077872011-01-29T19:19:52.062-05:002011-01-29T19:19:52.062-05:00Beautiful post on your winter storm!

Also very interesting to see birds that I know from Europe, but look just that little different, mostly in their colouring.

I am freezing here right now in Buffalo, but I am not sure which one is better, living in a city that is paralyzed when snow hits but only every now and then, or living in a city that knows how to deal with snow but it's pretty much a common occurrence.Jeruenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902095693318762587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-14400014572262506462011-01-20T23:45:30.096-05:002011-01-20T23:45:30.096-05:00Dutchbaby – yes the snow is gone now – but we may ...Dutchbaby – yes the snow is gone now – but we may get some more. My daughter in Nashville told me there was 2 inches already this evening. Stay warm in Palo Alto.<br /><br />Tim – welcome to my blog. You say you were happy not to be in Atlanta because of the snow. I see that you live in Pennsylvania. Do you know the last time I saw that much snow? That was when we lived in Ardmore, PA, when my husband was attending the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. I could barely stir the VW bug we had then.

I'm not sure that the Bay Area has even wight snow plows. Your photos are beautiful; I especially like seeing the visitors at your feeders. The only one I could positively identify was the nuthatch, but someone else already told you that. I use the Peterson Guide for Western Birds; I think they make an Eastern version. It's good for beginners because it's so well organized. <br /><br />I hope the snow's all melted by now and that everything's back to normal now.Dutchbabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844296297519447526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-1763807664252390092011-01-20T19:14:28.525-05:002011-01-20T19:14:28.525-05:00The snow looks really beautiful on the trees but I...The snow looks really beautiful on the trees but I'm sure glad I wasn't there in Atlanta. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179486046864119527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-3464706853350095082011-01-20T18:48:52.088-05:002011-01-20T18:48:52.088-05:00Mary, Marguerite, Olga, Bowsprite and My Carolina ...Mary, Marguerite, Olga, Bowsprite and My Carolina Kitchen – Thank you for coming by my blog and leaving kind comments. Our snow has melted now and we saw the sun the last two days. I am so glad you enjoyed this post.<br /><br />Roger Gauthier – thank you for stopping by. Je sais qu’au Canada notre neige ici serait comme de la poudre de riz! J’aime bien lire tes commentaires toujours pleins d’humour.<br /><br />Deborah – You are right – when people are not used to this type of weather it is indeed deadly. I read about an old man in Atlanta who went outside his house to get his newspaper. He did not see that the snow had turned to ice and fell. He hit his head and died. The snow is so beautiful and can be cruel too.

Like ER, I think it looks like unbaked meringue! <br /><br />We in Canada tend to snicker at reports of relatively minor amounts of snow creating such havoc, but what you had was quite awful in terms of ice. The worst is when the temperature hovers around freezing - just enough to melt a bit during the day and turning to treacherous ice at night. <br />Without the equipment to handle the snow, you're at the mercy of the weather - and not only is it not fun, it's somtimes deadly. But it's terrific that you went out and explored despite the cold and snow and gave us this lovely post. The bird photo at the very last is particularly good - the perfect way to end things.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-16088451902885742232011-01-20T04:31:56.708-05:002011-01-20T04:31:56.708-05:00COUCOU

It is always such a joy to read y’all – it makes my posts worthwhile.<br /><br />Jojo - I hope there will be no more snow for the reason you gave – so many people losing wages, also children having to make up school days instead of getting time off during nicer weather. Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Angie – welcome to my blog. Thanks for the birds ID – I have to make a note of it. We do have bird books, but there are so many birds with almost identical beaks, colors, etc., it is hard to figure out. I saw some pretty birds on your blog too. <br /><br />Lonicera - You are absolutely right. Those extreme weather patterns are what we mean about climate change, and we are guilty of doing the changing. Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />DJan – our snow is not as pretty as the snow you see on your mountains, but I was tickled to have it so thick in our yard. I always enjoy your comments.<br /><br />Sweffling – I did go and look at the Armenian Cathedral in Paris on your blog and enjoyed reading your Paris posts. The weather has been hard on many people, and now the terrible flood in Australia.<br /><br />English Rider – beaten egg whites for a meringue was the exact term for the snow we had – I wish it would have tasted as good!<br /><br />Ruth – I can see you in an igloo fortress made of snow bricks – something to remember and you did. Your landscape in Michigan is always so beautiful, summer and winter.<br /><br />Vicki Lane – you are so knowledgeable – a real woman from the woods – you know your birds, and mine… I’ll print their pictures and write their names so I’ll remember them. Thanks so much for taking the time to teach me, I appreciate it very much.<br /><br />Ginnie – I remember the blizzard of 1993! I was in Greenville with trainees and had to bring them back to Atlanta. Once there I could not get back home for almost two days. All the hotels were full, many trees down, it was terrible.<br /><br />Darlene – a snow storm in Tucson! That is certainly unusual.
