WINTER!.....I love it!

[Scatter]

Ha! Gary..ya got me laughin"! You gotta get out of that  place....if it's the last thing you ever do.....Scatter, there's a better world for me and you.   Hey I think that would make a great song, Scatter, you Animal...ha!

All I need is a wealthy, semi-retired MonsterKid to sponsor my move. Someone with..........I don't know........a large rural piece of land and a toy basement for me to stay in.

Here are a couple shots of the outside of our house around Xmas about four years ago:

Here in Lafayette, we have "weak" weather - 30 miles north, they get tons of snow - 30 miles south, tons of snow.  West: snow.  East: snow.  Smack in the middle, Lafayette:  A few sad, lonely, wistful flakes of "almost" snow.  Weak.

We have had a pretty disappointing winter, snow wise, here in Spokanistan. 
The snow surrounding Castle Famous in that picture probably exceeds our  total snowfall this winter.

We have had plenty of sub freezing days, but very little snow. 
But it is hit and miss.
Back in 2008/09 we had 97 inches, 60 of which fell in December alone.

I remember that snowfall in 2008. I was stuck trying to get back to Seattle, took me 12 hours to get over White's Pass. I moved to California, so now I just visit the snow.

I like the snowstorms. Makes good for watching "The Thing from Another World".  We have a winter storm advisory for my area tommorow and I'm looking forward to it and I hope we get blasted!

We've had a lot of snow, but not anywhere near as much as in the east.  Still, I'm sick of winter.

All your snow pics are so beautiful! I am ready to vacation at bigbud's winter resort!    It's so crisp and lovely looking- until you have to shovel it out of the way....but I have a strong back, so I'm in!

I hate WINTER and I Hate SNOW....we lost power last night off and on because of this white powder plague...I am ready for Summer.

Carp, you are so right! Listen....you help me shovel this white stuff off the drive and we'll play-play-play in the toys! But....before you say yes, check out the first picture...this is what I am dealing with after today's new storm has dumped on us. The shovel is standing beside the depth of drifts covering my drive all the way down that row of Bradford Pear trees.....ouch....
Second pic....the critters are frozen in mid howl! No not really...that's a poured statue of two baby critters..ha! But you would be amazed at the racket the real howlers make around here after dark....like a convention of the Children of the Night.
Picture 3 is my garden house...not so snowed in.....which is great! Now I can pot and plant those ....hey wait....that ain't till Spring....drat!

bigbud- I underestimated the thickness of that snow! I really hope you have a blower or some kind of robot army to help you clear a path. My goodness! You must have been in the eye of EVERY snowstorm that has hit the U.S. this year!  Those bradford pear trees look so beautiful, in spite of the fact that they are not wearing snowsuits...they are real troopers. I am gonna show this picture to my bradford pear trees and let them see how lucky they are- sometimes they can be such complainers.
I hope you get a thaw pretty soon! Isn't it about time for some springtime toy shows/auctions? Stay warm & dry, my friend.

I love winter but hate lying rodents!
