While we have had some short spells of cold and a bit of snow, this Winter has not really put its stamp of frigid, icy control on us yet, here in New England. Of course, I may be a bit biased, as we had this epic Winter a couple of years ago, in which I went out to photograph amazing snowscapes in late January. None of that so far…
Looking at next week’s forecast, it looks like we may get a chilly turn with no termperatures above freezing and a bit of snow toward the end of the week. Could this be the true advent of Winter? I hope so!
This was the view out the window at work earlier during the past week, when there was a little bit of a snow tease. Enough to leave evidence on trees and grass, but lacking the true beauty that I would love to see.
How’s the weather where you live?
Oh, Frank, I’m impressed. I am (up until now) not the greatest cold weather person. In fact, I moved back to LA in November.
It’s been somewhat cold here, well for LA anyway. Now it’s in the low 70s 🙂
Blessings to you – hope you have a wonderful snowy week.
Thank you, Debbie. Yes, cold weather is not for everyone, but it’s something that I tend to enjoy. Nowadays, it’s easier to dress comfortably for cold weather without feeling like a Stay-Puft marshmallow man, which helps me to go out there and jog or hang around outside to wait for that one photo that I want.
It’s my kind of season!
We have rain here in the UK just now. Ar least when it’s raining, it’s not so cold. Our winter hasn’t arrived yet though. Last year our coldest months were February and March.
Here, February is usually the coldest month, but not the snowiest. When we start getting extended periods of cold coming in from the arctic circle, the air flows are most over land and very dry.
Hey! Is it okay if I use this photo in a poem?
That is absolutely fine; I would appreciate a link back with the photo.
Thank you!
Frank
Lovely picture! Not bad here in Southern Ontario.
The weather here has been very mild and sunny during the day 🌞 with a light frost overnight.
Sounds rather nice! I’m sure the dogs love it!
They love it and are very buzzy! ☺🐾🐾
We had a short winter here in Orange County, CA. It seems to be getting warmer. It was in high 70s this afternoon. The rain stopped, I could start pruning in my garden.
No worries about pruning here, as there’s no growth until March 🙂
Oh! Nice to have time to do something else of interest at the meantime.
I’m live in New Jersey so our weather is similar. I am very happy we have not had a snowy weather.
When I had a job that allowed me to work from home on heavy snow days it was wonderful.My kids were younger then and we had many fun times playing in the snow.
I am happy that I don’t wake up in the morning to find eight inches of snow in the driveway. I am happy I won’t have to hurt my back shoveling that driveway. I am happy that there is no snow or sleet or black ice slowing down my commute to work. No snow means my car is not under a sheet of ice or snow at the end of a work day.
I detest winter.
This photo challenge (and one other) are how I stay sane but I’d rather be in San Diego or Hawaii.
The Mac spell check really does a piss poor job sometimes.

Winter is definitely not everyone’s favorite and my wife shares your opinion. I have to admit that I wasn’t overly thrilled yesterday morning, when the auger clutch cable on my snowblower snapped…doing my driveway by hand is no treat and I didn’t have time in the morning and was going to be late coming home at night.
Luckily, my wife was nice enough to clear the driveway for me. Should have new clutch cable today and will have a bit of a repair job to perform.
I’d like San Diego, as it’s a town with real character and some great microbreweries! Hawaii would be tough to take 🙂
Be well!
