We only have patches of snow left from last week, BUT more is coming along with cold and winds. What a winter we've had already and it's only mid-December!
Fantastic photos Vicki. Like some of the other comments, I hope all that ice doesn't cause any damage. We've got snow & wind on the way for today and tomorrow with night temps dropping into the teens. Burr. My rosemary bush will probably die even if I cover it.
Those photos were taken Saturday morning. A little before noon the snow slid off and hit the deck with a mighty THWOOOM! The gutters were unharmed because there aren't any on the front of the house.
And this morning it's started all over again -- a winter wonderland out there with four or five inches and still falling . . .
These are so awesome, Vicki! Great shots! I'm glad nothing was damaged when they fell. A few years ago, we had some 'glaciers' sliding off our roof in a similar manner...but when they fell with the two feet of snow on top of the ice, they broke our chain link kennel run in half! ACK! Blessedly, none of the animals were in the kennel at the time.
Your pictures are beautiful. It started to snow here about 15 minutes ago. It is coming pretty fast. I don’t know if it will stick, the roof of my car is starting to get white.
Good Lord, woman! Those photos are magnificent. If I could learn how to use a camera like the one you have, I'd still have to say "no". (Too lazy to read the instructions)
Your snow photos are riveting, full of beauty and tension! You are having quite a bit of snow this December. We are in a winter storm right now with horizontal snow. My husband is stuck in California and I'm having trouble feeling sorry for him. Stay warm!
Well what are you doing with snow down there? I thought we had it all this weekend in MN! :) I shared a few out the windows and then outside on my blog today...it was a big blizzard...
I love these images dearest Vicki!!!!! Merry christmas to you and family. May the spirit of christmas time brings much happiness to you all. cariños maria cecilia

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Amazing!
Did it fall yet?
You're really beginning to capture the unusual, through your lens, Vicki. This is great.
These are fantastic photos taken from inside. Hope it hasn't done any damage to your gutters or roof.
Love the pictures!

Lovely photos.
I hope you have the leisure to enjoy the snow. We too are having a break but more is forecast to start this week.
What a great shot of that snow pattern. At least we're not in the midwest right now. Wow what a storm.
Lovely shots, Vicki! We're getting ready for another "crash" here...(temperature-wise, that is...) Guess you're in the same boat.
Hunker-down time!
