You guys, I don't think I've ever seen it snow this hard in my life. (I mean, maybe it has overnight when I wasn't looking. We did have WINTER STORM '93, after all.) It's snowing harder now than it was this morning, and the temperature's actually inching down.

Anyway, I decided to take some more pictures, to show you how much has fallen since that first one. Most of them were taken through windows, although I finally went and stood on the front doorstep (barefoot. I are smrt) and took a number of yard and street. I've dumped all of them into my Flickr account (no matter how redundant), so you can browse the "snow" tag if you want. These are just the good ("good") ones.








Taken through my attic window (the front of the house). That's the roof taking up the right side there. The first one was taken a little before 7 am; the second was taken a little before 11 am.




Remember that picture on the left? That's from this morning. Here's the same shot three or four hours later. (The third picture is me forgetting to raise the blinds first like a dumbass. I kind of liked the effect, though.)




From the front porch. First picture is our ornamental cherry tree; second picture is a tree in our neighbor's yard. The trimmed-down tree in both pictures--it's the same tree--is a crape myrtle (it regrows to full height every year). The bushes separating the yards are juniper.

The second picture is probably my favorite out of the whole batch.




Someone stopped by the house while I was taking pictures. That's another crape myrtle there on the left, with the same cherry tree there in the second picture.




Our tiny backyard, taken from the kitchen window (the blinds are fixed in place between two layers of glass, so they couldn't be raised). The foliage on top of the fence is the jasmine. The camellias I shot last month are there on the left inside the fence. That's another trimmed-down crape myrtle in the far corner. And then, the second picture is another kitchen window job, of the bushes over the driveway.




Our deck, taken through a window in the den; the trees behind the house, further along the deck, taken through the kitchen window.




We have two matching dog statues on our porch. Strangely, they look a lot like my sister's dog Pete.

Meanwhile, Actual Dog does not like to have her picture taken.

How the hell did you get more snow down in Birmingham than I got in Southern TN? THIS MAKES NO SENSE.

Hey, ROANOKE, VA finally got snow from this system!

Usually we get left out and everywhere else gets it.

I am incredibly envious. It's been warm up here for the last week or so, and all our snow got rained away.

We're currently getting this in Atlanta.

My Siberian Husky is FREAKING OUT. He has never seen snow before and is so goddamn confused, it is kind of hilarious.

YOU CAN KEEP THE SNOW. I've had enough of it up here in OH and I am so ready for spring. Snow makes driving to work a not fun experience.

See, we get it once or twice a year. This is probably the most snow I've seen in one place in five years, maybe ten. So it's terribly exciting down here.

Don't you have a pool? I think that would be a neat shot if it starts snowing again.

I like the ones from the kitchen window. The framing by the roof gives it a Victorian feel. edit: also the planter in between the two chairs looks like a giant coffee mug making me think of Alice in Wonderland.

We do, but it's tarped over for the winter. The snow won't even stick to it (the way it won't stick to the roads, either).

The dusting that came through earlier, definately wasn't near enough.

The three pictures of the back porch are fantastic. Seriously, I would frame them.

Yeah, your neighborhood looks really beautiful. And this is pretty normal where I come from, we just had a foot or two a week ago and probably will continue to have it until the end of March (when it will all turn to rain until June, blech). But then I am in Europe and in the mountains, so...

That is a crazy lot of snow! So pretty! I hope you get to enjoy it and don't have to go out in it. (Snow is so pretty until you have to walk everywhere in it to get to class and work and crap. Bah humbug!)

Anyway, it's good to see you unleash your inner Thomas Kinkade!

I live in MD and we just heard that in the next couple days we could get 6-10 inches. Its supposed to start snowing tonight. Isn't it March? Its March right? We've had like no snow all winter and the heavy stuff hits in MARCH!? Where is Spring?

From: [identity profile] glyphs.livejournal.com
Pfft...I'm in WI. Spring doesn't start here till like May. While it isn't a yearly occurance, I'm no longer phased by having snow in April even. However, it's been such a cold winter here this year that I'm beyond ready for weather at least in the upper 30s.

Well, it all melted away shortly after lunch--you'll probably get it pretty hard for a few hours, so enjoy it while it lasts. : )

I'm so pissed it decided to snow now. I have been living back at home in Georgia for the last couple of months just begging for snow.

Then I come back to Texas to defend my thesis and BAM! Snow! Ugh, so disappointing :(

Lovely pictures! I love seeing the progression.. thanks for sharing. I enjoy snow pictures, but I would probably be freezing my arse off were I the one taking the pictures, so I think I'll just keep to my SoCal weather, hehe

Oregon says "Enjoy! Also DO NOT RETURN TO SENDER."

We have had snow up the WAZOO this year, and we normally only get a dusting of like 1/2 an inch like twice and it's been snowing once a week since December.

(I am a big fan of your linkspams and general entries as well as the M15M, but I don't think I've ever commented before. So.. um, hi?)

Yeah...we have three feet of snow in the ground, and it's supposed to snow another thirty centimetres in the next two days. I understand it's different in Alabama, but when I look at these pictures, I'm like, "May in New Brunswick!" (We say we have four seasons in the Maritimes: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction.)

In a slightly mean way I am now glad that the rest of the country gets to share in what we here in Massachusetts experience from about mid-November to mid-April every year (yes, we have gotten snowstorms in APRIL OMGs).

I once lost the dog in a snowbank at the end of freakin' MAY. We've seen snow in Alberta during every month, except maybe August...although I wouldn't put it past this province.
