Snow-O M G!

Well, I woke up this morning to find a few inches of snow. And it kept snowing.
I can't remember the last time it snowed more than a few millimetres in Glasgow, so this was quite an occasion.

Here are a few pictures I took and pictures of Pip and I.

The falls in Rouken Glen park:

Just a nice picture of a path in the park:

Me out in the back garden:

Pip enjoying his first proper snowfall:

Pip tripping me up as we played in the park:

All in all I was lovely and cozy in a 13oz tweed kilt and wooly jumper.
The hose Diane made me are thick and warm and not a drop of moisture got through them.
It was a fantastic day.

That truly looks like a winter wonderland.

Sometimes I miss the snow.....Heck I know people around me who have never seen any.

Thanks for posting the memories.

Amazing pics, Arlen! That one of the tree is a thing of beauty. I'm glad Pip got to learn how snow can be like before he gets to Idaho!

Btw, what do you mean that you were wearing a "jumper?" Here, that refers to a woman's dress (and I don't mean a kilt!!

).

Thank you for the compliment. I take a lot of artsy pictures and sell them on my Deviantart account, so I couldn't resist taking a few nice ones today.

As for a jumper, here it is what we call a sweater.

Great pics Arlen!

Here we had a little hail then sleet for about five minutes but none of it stuck.

I spent some time in Idaho as a kid. You should be able to take some amazing photos there.

Pip looks like a happy puppy

Those pix are pretty, but they make me long for spring.

Excellent pictures Arlen, I think your spring ended up over here as we are getting warm today. Nice to see Pip so happy.

Great pictures Arlen!

I don't know where in Idaho you'll be, but here's some pictures the in-laws sent a couple weeks ago of their home in Sandpoint:

The big pile of disturbed snow lying below the roof line was what was on top of the roof (there's another on the other side of the house). They hired 3 college football player types to shovel the roof (I'm told a number of roofs in town collapsed from the weight), and it took each guy 7 hours to shovel off the roof!
