Melting.

Well, I'm not melting, but our snow is.

We don't have gutters on the farmhouse and when it gets above freezing, the snow slides down the steep steel roof and hits the ground with a big

BOOM!

Scares the baby bejeezus out of me.

But it's better than having gutters torn off of the eaves every winter.

Anyhoodles, here are a few more snow-ey scenes from a few days ago.

  12. Fun images - our snow came and went on the one day of the year I did not want snow, the day my daughter traveled home from college for winter break - ugh! but your snow, well it looks fun (probably cause I'm not traversing it to retrieve a kid).

    got a chuckle out of "baby bejeezus' - haven't heard that phrase for a very long time. hehe!

  27. Don't mind here, I'm amazed at how flat it seems there. I'm guessing you get some pretty good drifting of snow there.

    ReplyDelete

  29. So pretty... it looks warmer than we have... which is so nice...when it gets cold like we have it now... you just want to stay inside...

    Merry Christmas Nancy!!

  37. Hey nancy, you have a very "hot" looking shadow!! Get snow clips for the roof, they work very well! Merry Christmas my dear friend, and don't stand anywhere near the farmhouse. That sliding snow hits you and you might be a goner ;((

    Hope you get more moisture this winter, too.

    Merry Christmas! ♥

  40. Beautiful pics of the snow on the trees. Love the sun flair and those long legs in your shadow!
    It's been really cold here so our snow won't be melting anytime soon.

    ReplyDelete

  41. What gorgeous snow images. They are especially nice for us since we are nowhere near any snow this Christmas.

    Merry Christmas to you and yours from both Kjell and me. :)

  45. Holy cow! That is some snow! I wonder when we will get ours...which reminds me, I need to see if the snowblower will start. Yikes! Absolutely beautiful wonderful shots!

    ReplyDelete

  46. The snow scenes look VERY cold! Temperatures must have increased considerably for things to start melting! We are getting snow teases, and that's all. I am ready for some more white stuff, now that the darned wind has let up.
