great photo.

Tony, that is a wonderful photograph. That would be a picture worth framing.

But please keep the snow over there. I just don’t get a thrill out of shoveling the driveways anymore. To put things in perspective it was +15C over here yesterday and I was doing some sanding outside in short sleeves. :)

There is much magic in a good winter scene like this one you have captured Tonys.
I think I would really miss the seasons if I moved .
I purchased a 13 hp snowblower this year and my snow problems vanish in about 20 minutes.
I still have to get out for some cross country skiing if ident@telusplanet.can drag mysleft out of the shop. <g>
No snakes, no bugs, no termites,no mosquitos!

Great photo, Tony.

Winter is a nice season to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there! I enjoyed wearing shorts this weekend.

Tony, that’s a great picture! It looks so peaceful!

We had about 6” of snow at Christmas, then it all melted. More snow this morning, but it will be gone again in a couple of days.

beautiful

Peter we had about 6mm of snow in the last 3 weeks and none forecast for the next week at least, just cold, cold and more cold.

Bob I consídered buying one of those snow blowy things a few years ago, but it virtually stop snowing since then – maybe I frightened it away. I make do with the snow blade fitted to the garden tractor for now.

We are leaving on Saturday for 8 days to find some real snow in the Austrian Alps ( maybe you will see me on the link ;) ) and do some downhill skiing, good food eating (as if we did not have enough at Christmas) and even more really good beer drinking (Glühwein for the wife) – there are no mountains in Finland only large hills.

Great picture! As far North as you are you don’t see much of the sun at this time of year.

By-the-way, Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has the highest “Finnish” population outside of Finland. There is even a Finlanda University.

Neat photo, Tony. It looks about like that here this morning. Thankfully not quite as cold.

Yeah, add about 3 ft of snow to that photo and the same temperature and you got what I have. I’m kind of sick of it allready, and winter isn’t even half way through. Woodworking for me in the winter pretty much comes to a stand still. My shop is our detached double stall garage that we still park our vehicles in, it’s not totally insulated and it takes too long to get it warmed up out there with the wood stove when it’s this cold out. It would be so much easier and more enjoyable if we lived in a little warmer climate and I had a dedicated shop.

Spring is on the way, 2 weeks past the winter solstice, but we can already see that summer is coming on a daily basis.

Sun rises 9:31 and sets 15:25. Length of day is 5 h 54 min (South Finland).

Absolutely beautiful…

We got snow here in Vegas this year… LOTS OF IT… We generally see about a half inch every other year if that… we had 6 inches in some places around the valley… breaking a 30 year old record and they say it might be an all time record for the Valley… Makes me wish I lived someplace where it was less of a side show and more of a main attraction… :-)

TV 6 in Marquette Michigan reported, in one of their news clips, about record snowfall in December. One of the comments from viewers was;

“I’d guess all this cold weather and snow must somehow be attributed to global warming? All these people beating the drum while crying out “the sky is falling” must be right. Doesnt seem to me like we are getting alot of the global warming here in the UP though.Must only get global warming in california and other places that harbor liberal rainbow chasers. I’d guess it is actually getting colder these days. Next thing you know, ww’ll be in some sort of “global cooling” that promises to end the word as we know it.”

Snow, snow and more snow. Snow in this neck of the woods is a “lifestyle” which requires heavy duty 5’+ snow blowers, front end loaders, walk behind snow blowers. If it isnt snowing then its raining but it freezes as soon as it hits an object. The monthly fuel bill for snow blowing is about 300 bucks plus tractor maintenance.

Had we now had a mid winter meltdown I’m pretty sure we have about 6’ by now.

I just love winter
