Nature hiccuped a blizzard here in the northeastern US. Lots of fluffy snow with depths of 1 1/2 feet (half a meter) plus drifts. Winds to 60 miles per hour in gusts last night, still very breezy today. The road are being cleared, but there are many residential streets that are totally blocked off with the piles from the plows. We're ok, thankfully we have power and heat, but intercity transport is not happening (air) and starting to run (trains).
I'll post a photo on http://bkellysky.wordpress.com/

I just want everyone to know that I'm having a difficult time here in Northern California. The rays of sunlight are streaming in through the French doors next to my computer and making it very difficult to read my monitor. Also with all this sunshine and the warming temperatures my wife is now insisting that I go organize the back patio and pick up around the yard since we are having company next Saturday. So please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

I don't know how you'll manage.

Lucky you. I'm having to deal with these clouds. And it's only going to get up to the mid-60s today. I'll probably freeze.

Been very snowy here in Kendal. Very icy, too. I had a nasty slip on the way to work the other week, but luckily my fall was broken by a fence, then a car and then the pavement, one after another... rolleyes.gif Snowed overnight last night, and quite thick on the ground at lunchtime. Not as bad as some places, and of course nowhere near as bad as you're experiencing over there in the US, but perfect for photography... smile.gif

Elk Grove Dan! - I hear you brother!
I would pitch in and help , but we just wrapped up 24 hrs of blizzard conditions - Now the wind is howling, the snow is drifting. The wind chill is -15F
I have a six foot tall plug of snow at the end of the driveway (thanks town plows!) and Logan airport is closed. On the bright side, I do have power back on, heat is OK, and the fridge in the garage is chock full of beer... (I think I am taking tomorrow off....hickup!)

I also had a hell of time time driving up some very well cleared roads to temporarily enjoy some lovely snow fall over 6kft behind Mt Wilson, before returning back to a sunny 20C/60F Pasadena.

Stu - your panoramas are quite nice!

This is as close as we can get to a "White Christmas" in San Diego - socked in with fog!

Though we are back to having ElkGroveDan's problems now: clear skies and sunshine. biggrin.gif

I spoke too soon. We're expecting 2.1 inches in Southern Sacramento County tonight and widespread flooding. (Though I'm on top of a hill, so not worried.)
