First Snow of 2010

Bladtaco2, I work (remotely of course) with a lady in Stade Germany who told me today that the Salt/grit supply is critically short in ALL of Europe. Looks like lots of days off of work in the near future!

wiredge, hola

On the whole I suspect mainland Europe is much better prepared than the UK though. I think if I stood in the middle of the average high street and asked pedestrians “what is a snow chain” I'm sure I'd get a huge amount of bizarre answers before I got the right one. Coincidentally, my last woman was German. She had snow chains.

Ah ha! A point well taken. Part of the year you get green like we're never going to see out here (can you feel the envy?).

The roads got a little slick last night. These are a couple of shots of the bottom of my driveway before I went to bed last night and shortly after I got up this morning. Living on a back road at the far edge of the city limits has a lot of advantages but some disadvantages too.

Not at all. I could never be happy living where there's no winter. The absolute worst place you could banish me to would be a tropical island. :)

It looks like that's a popular corner. Nice pics in the OP, you live in a great looking area.

I like to visit the trpics but really don't think I want to leave there...I'd really miss Autumn.

Yeah, it's a popular curve when the roads ice.

Thanks, I really like it here.

While I've spent time in the snow, and visited the East coast (Maine) during a blizzard, I've never had to spend an entire winter in a place that snowed like that. I've never had to shovel snow off of a driveway or sidewalk in my life ... and I have no desire to start.:D

It's all what you're used to, I suppose. I don't miss the seasons at all, because I've never had them. I love everyone's pictures of various areas at various times of the year, but I'm not sure how I would handle living in those areas.

The most snow I ever had to deal with was going through winter warfare school at Pickle Meadows, and I knew that was going to end in three weeks. A whole winter? The heck, you say!
 
I really like that first pic!!!!!!! How fast where they going around that curve??
