Helloooo Winter!

Even here, we don't normally get hit quite this hard for the first storm of the season - this was the view out of my bedroom window when I woke up this morning:
 
 
And it was still coming down!  My niece's birthday party was cancelled =(
 
After we got dressed I went out for a walk with Mom & Dude & took some more pics.  It's wet, heavy snow, so there were lots of broken & bent trees but also lots of pretty, snow-covered things.  Here's a taste of November in Minnesota:
 

Bearing in mind now, that it was 70 degrees less than a week ago LOL. Do you have snow yet where you live?

Thanks for reading =)

  7. We're in the 70s now (brr!) but the week before last we were in the 90s. I'm looking forward to playing the dvd of a fire in a fireplace soon. I especially enjoyed the first and last snow pictures you shared.

    So, about that patio table outside, is it possible to bundle up and sit outside and enjoy a cup of hot cocoa or is it just too cold? A gal from the Sonoran Desert is just curious...

  10. AH I am so jealous!!! It looks like so much fun over there.
    Here, it's still freaking hot...it was like 65 degrees today, and it's supposed to be like that for at least another week.
    I've been patiently waiting with my boots and sweater in hand, but snow just isn't coming.
    I want to live in Minnesota too. :(

  11. I also live in MN and was in Minneapolis this morning and woke up to our car getting stuck, me pushing, us repeatedly trying to keep the ice/snow off the windows and keep them unfogged, and my actual winter gear in my car (which was parked in St Cloud). :P We got out of the Cities and by the time I got home (quite a ways north in MN) we have hardly any snow. Go figure? LOL ENJOY!

  20. I envy you soooo much:) It's unusually warm here in Slovenia, around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and I can't wait for snow! Especially the first snowfall of the year, when everything just seems to slow down and it's so calm...

    No, no snow early november in Holland! Most years we don't have any snow at all. Last season there was snow for three months! So I'm curious what it is going to be this year.
    It's 10 degrees celsius now here

  26. EVERYONE - we got dumped on even worse this weekend! Not so wet but more overall inches, I think like another 6-8 total =)

    DESERTNAILS - yes, although it's a pretty rare day you'll catch me doing it =) My mom will still spend time outside in the winter, sometimes I will sit there to take a break while shoveling LOL


    LOODIE - LOL it has to be WAAAY worse than this before I'd be able to get out of work due to snow!
