Lets see your winter or snow photos...

Loooove your Red Cardinal pic Bob, great shot! I thought the roof rake may be too much, maybe wrench your back with some of the snows we get. I know I tried to poke down the snow overhang, only to get covered in snow, well, good for a laugh for hubby. :p

Noooooo, deesierra , you're welcome to keep that *yikes*.:eek:...but is that snow wet and heavy like we get here...or dry powdery snow like they get in Switzerland ?

That winter season produced mostly powder, with occasional "sierra cement" as we call it here. Ugh, don't like that wet heavy stuff! With potentially record breaking El Nino conditions being predicted for this winter in the west it's hard to say how things will turn out. We've had a couple of decent snow storms so far and it was powder. I got smart this year and hired a big strong high school student (the son of a close friend) to shovel/snow blow and help me out for the season. This old bod just can't do it any more!
 
Deesierra, don't you just "love" having to shovel off the spa? I love having one on the deck until I have to shovel it off after every storm, sometimes several times, due to pulling snow off the roof.
 
'tis indeed a grey squirrel. I used to have the feeders hanging off my deck, but no more. Now they're on poles. The squirrels were a nuisance trying to get at the seed.

Ohhhh yeah.....especially that winter!! I got rid of it last year. It was well used when given to me and I just didn't want to do the maintenance any more. And it jacked up my electric bill by $50 a month. No small change when you're on a Social Security budget :eek:
 
Lovely photos, everyone! :) I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some snow this winter, it's not often that we do in my little corner of north west England and even then it only usually settles for about a day.
 
No snow yet..well not much worth showing, it's been a very wet Winter this year so far, and I usually get some really nice sunny photos in winter ..but on the very few days we've had sun, I've been working so not had the opportunity nor the time...especially as our winter days are so short and it's dark at 4pm..

However last Thursday was my day off, and for the first time this winter the sun shone albeit for only a few hours...so here's a few photos of my neighbourhood and surroundings....

This one made me laugh...the tiny ancient long barn in the village high street has just had a new that put on the roof, but it's not been tied or trimmed yet...and it looks for all the world like a great big Coir Doormat has been dropped on it from the skies...:oops::excited::laugh:
