The new winter thread - 2018-19

Re: The new winter thread - 2018-19
Slide off a laneway tonight. Sheet ice base, too slippery to stand on, six inches of fresh snow on top. Curve left with steep slope to the outside. Only going 10mph so not a deep stuckage. Still a pain in the arse to have to bump the car out of the snow and back on to the road.
Only another five months of it.

I broke out my garden hosepipe and cleaned my car this afternoon. Unbelievable weather.

I went out into the back garden earlier for a bit of fresh air and discovered dandelions in flower, the maple tree in bud and the honeysuckle sending out new shoots... in January ... something weird with this weather this year.

Overnight snow has created Julie Christie in Dr Zhivago on a couple of the deck posts this morning

We got the snowstorm today after all. A rare occasion I had to be out in it.
One of the deck post knobs now looks like Jeannie. I wonder if she'll grant me a wish or three.

Cloudy and 9 degrees.
Not looking like much of a winter this year, if this trend keeps up for the next month, we may just see an early spring and blooms.

Super windy here today, some ice particles dropping from the sky.. it's not winter as we know it though - hope this doesn't mean spring will be delayed til May.
