Snow Season East Coast

[Yahvist]

How many of you have had problems with the winter weather that came to the East coast?

Are you watching the tread on your car's front tires?

Got extra blankets stored in the back of the car for a emergency?

Yahoo slide show gave some nice pics that I will post here with credit to the photographer given.

Those are interesting pictures, Yahvist. I like the pictures of the amimals.

[Eveningstar]

That tiger looks none too happy...But :wow: nice photos. I've got about two feet of that white stuff outside my window. Maybe I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it.

Please do. Here have some flowers so I can talk you into it. :flowers:

[Eveningstar]

Too much rain this morning to make it worthwhile, but we're expecting another Nor'Easter this weekend, I'll try then.

Here are some flowers for you:)

Thank you for the flowers.

I really don't miss the snow. I do like seeing pictures of it, though.

[Eveningstar]

I couldn't live without snow, I like four seasons in my world.

I know what you mean. It does tend to get confusing to which season it is around here. But I never liked it extremely cold, even though I enjoyed sleigh riding and ice skating. I always like the hot chocolate, too. I can still have the hot chocolate, though.

Where do you currently reside, LL?

I will pm you with that information. And I would like to know where you live and you can pm me that information.

E.Star said : "I couldn't live without snow, I like four seasons in my world."

That’s where my body metabolism settings are simular to yours in this aspect. The 10 years living in Arizona of my teen years upward was hard for me in feeling well there. As I finally settled down in this very mild but changeable climate where I now am I got to feeling just great. The constant climate and weather changes is just what I need to keep me going without getting bored or down in feelings.

The snow hasn’t arrived here yet. I am still waiting and hoping….

Ms E.

[Eveningstar]

Here in New England, as the old saying goes, if you don't like the weather just wait five minutes...:snicker:

[Little Lamb]

ES,

It's Saturday night and you have not posted any snow pictures. Here is a snow man.

[Eveningstar]

Heavy snow on the way, expected to start tomorrow afternoon...I told you it rained and a lot of snow was washed away so it wasn't worth taking pictures. I'll probably have something to post by Wednesday, weather permitting:)

[Little Lamb]

That's up to you. I probably should stop bugging you in case you changed your mind.

If you decide to post the pictures I will enjoy them, if not, well it's really up to you. I'd like to see them. :)

[Eurogal]

ahhhn, Mr.E is in New England. Now that's the place to be. I will visit there if ever I get up the interest to take a trip homeland again.
Most likely I would aim for autumn to take in the beauty of the Fall colors.

But I do love the snow pictures here as well and to make Lambchops even more happy I'll post some pictures of snowtime of the past in Germany. The global warming has really caused a temp change so we don't get snow in Germany like it was thirty years ago. All the newspapers have been complaining that the ski-resorts in south Germany are slowly going bankrupt this season because the snow hasn't arrived at all as of yet.

[Eurogal]

Here's a pic taken from one window of a building across the way when the Christmas market is in the townsquare of Münich for the holiday season.

[Eurogal]

Here just a snowy street scene in a south German small village.

[Eurogal]

Another south German small village street scene.

There is a distinctive difference in south Germany houses over what is built in north Germany, or even the houses in middle Germany. Each district of the country has used different substances in building their homes.

[Little Lamb]

E-gal,

So you're an American too! You used to live here

Those are real nice pictures.

I always like the fall up North. I used to live in New York on Long Island. My mother always hated Fall. It reminded her of death. Everything was dying off.

[Eurogal]

Lamby, you are such a nice little hoot :joker:
....especially when U wake up a bit later than the rest of us :haha:

....finally got to reading my signature ?

Here is a picture of one of many, many tourist hotels in the south Germany. It shows the back side of the house. Many farmers were commissioned by the Land not to produce anymore. Something to do with over-abundance and politics of keeping the price of food stable. So they got cheap money from the government to start other business. Many got their big homes renovated into tourist Hotels and are doing quiet well for themselves.

Here is one of the most popular winter sport resort towns to the foothills of the Alps.

Newschwanstein castle has always been a magnet for tourists.

I dunno how to resize photos to make them acceptable...:confused: I'll see if I can figure it out, but I'm having no luck so far...Mebbe wasn't meant to be...:(

[Little Lamb]

You're not leaving are you?

[Eurogal]

Lamby… Don’t panic….…he just went to bed for a good night of rest. Just give him a time for sleeping. He’ll log in again after breakfast.

[Eurogal]

Heyman, Eveningstar!!! I am so delighted with your nine pictures. They get me all happy like the time I experienced coming to look at the cottage I live in with Alf for the first time here in our woods.

Your place is just great. Our place has a similarity what with being a small wood building in the woods. But you have much more privacy than we do. There are to manny other cabins around to say I live isolated as what your great beautiful pictures showed. I really like your place of living. I could easily spend the rest of my life in such isolated places.

You lady dog is probably 8 or 9 years old, right?
G.Shepards are good watch dogs and bark like mad when a stranger comes. So you did have poultry or piggies before becoming a veggie guy, eh? It is so wonderful to have one's own place. Does the city clean the snow from the road to your area? and did they also clean the path road to your cabin? We have good city maintainace out here where we live . They do lots of preventive care of the trees and roads.

I was so delighted with the shadow image of you in the trees. The composition of long legs in tune with the long stems of the tall trees made a great image.

I must say again...it was a down right pleasure having seen your pictures. I just rejoice with those who live like how you do in location. The natural nature type of surroundings. The dense population and scarcity of good private land sites at a premimun make such lifestyle in suburban not at all easy for us here in Germany. The costs are very high on land here.

Because we are so far from the site of DSL node we must resolve the fact that a connect will never be with DSL possibility. So we have only Dail-up ISDN. Do you have all the needed connections of gas/electricity/water/DSLconnection ?

She is 9 or 10 years.
Poultry, no swine, I kept a biblical diet. The town clears the road.
I'm on dial-up, and yes, all the other connections...water from a deep well, electricity, etc.
It has been a wonderful place to live for the ten years I've been here, I'm slowly watching the population grow and no doubt it will eventually encroach on my privacy and freedom/solitude. That's okay though, I like having neighbors, I just hope our local culture doesn't become too worldly or perverted by new growth.
I like it simple and Holy.
Yourself, Lil'Lamb, and Dawn are welcome anytime:)
Just ring my doorbell:)

[Eveningstar]

Precious lamb:)

[Little Lamb]

ES considers me a friend. :shake:

[swtsnshyn]

Evening Star,

I really like your doorbell! I could have used one like that when we lived in the old farmhouse. The girls would have known it was supper time without me having to holler for them. ;) In all seriousness, I do really like it.



God Bless!!
Dawn

[Eurogal]

Absolutely right on with good taste for liking the doorbell, Dawn. :)
I agree wholeheartedly. Did you notice his water pump outside, too?
I really am a homestead type gal and love exterior or interior specialties like that doorbell or the birdbath.

The having of a bell to call the kids from outside playing is a good idea. Funny that my mother never thought of it. I was really hard to get home on her calling. I roamed really far into the woods at times that were in the back of the house.

Eurogal

[Eurogal]

You certainly do have an artistic eye for balance in symmetry and the right use of light and shadow in your picture taking, ES.
Do you use digital camera of recent make or perhaps a Pentax mirror-reflex? I used to earn good money privately with taking portraits of Turkish people in the town I used to live in. Of course I keep an outlook for good shots of human interests in the area I live in too.

Your house pic with the chimmney showing might mean you have an openhearth? or is that the chimney to a boiler for heating water for the radiators ? Is there warmth in winter in every room? The walls appear thin. Do you have dampness sometimes in the house? I see two young apple trees you planted. I bet you are looking forward to fruit picking. Do you have far to work when daily driving?

Eurogal

[Eurogal]

That little lamb picture avatar I gave you all was a .bmp.
How did you, Mr.E, get it into becoming a .jpeg?

I know only .jpeg and .gif picture format comes up into these messages if our option selection in our control panel is filled in to 'yes' at the right question.

but never has a .bmp format of picture come up to view.
Somehow or other you transposed it into the other format.

Fess up now... and tell.

Mrs. E.

[swtsnshyn]

E-gal,

Yes, I did notice the water pump outside. I, too, tend to like the "homestead look". We are in the process of changing some things in and out of our own home. We've been talking about getting a "natural rock" look on the exterior (whether it be from a siding company or some other way).


God Bless!!

[Eveningstar]

You girls don't miss a thing, do you?;)

Yes, thin walls, hard to heat, I like the cold though, keeps me alert and healthy.:)
When I moved in, the house had two upright coal burning stoves. I replaced one and the other I either don't use at all, or I burn wood in it, standing the wood upright on one end. There's another wood stove in the basement. I also have an oil furnace in the basement. The house is very badly built. The original owner must have been "Jack." Dampness can be problematic.
But for what it lacks in sturdy construction, it makes up for an hundredfold in character and charm.
After all, it's just a house, and I, a transient being, do not much worry about permanency and I like my surroundings to mimmick what I feel in my soul.
If I ever do have her gutted and remodeled I'd like to stay as true to form as she is now....while using new techniques to make her more worthy.
I'd use the Lord's building plans.
Luk 6:48.
I work from home. No commute.:)
Two apple trees, yes, and one pear tree betwixt them. A long time ago, there was an orchard and grapes, blueberries, raspberries, etc. grow wild around here. The most delicious grapes you'll ever taste!

I simply copied the lamb, emailed it to myself and saved it in a different format...

Adieu ladies...

[Eveningstar]

I also share my home with many lost wanderers, including but not limited to, my earthly Mom, her husband, my two sisters, one has a husband and three children, and the other has a live with boyfriend.
They are all heathens, and I distance myself from them but would not put them out in the cold, unless they were openly abusive towards me or others.
We spend time between this house and our house on Cape Cod.
I'm eager to return to the Cape soon, and wander the beaches. :)

Winter at Sitkum

[Eveningstar]

Hello, Deer.:flowers:

[Eurogal]

i haven't been in this sector for a long time. Now I have a wow surprise!

This is just wonderful! Your latest pics are so expressive of winter atmosphere of nature. I am so glad you had your camera there at the right time in the right place.

A slight blue tinge in the finished development of pictures come when using Kodack asa100 film rolls. Fuiji film has more sensitivities to red pigments. I try to use only 400asa film roles for tricky light or pictures that need to come out really clear. When i make portraits or close up in good light 100asa is good enough. Animals tend to move so i do animals and zoom pics with 400asa.

Mr.E.... did you use a zoom for those loveable deer pictures ? Great that you found them in the laying down position and in snow. A very rare picture indeed. As a matter of fact I have never seen anywhere such a subject compostion of wild like that before. Amazing how God gave them an inner thermostat to allow them to sleep in snow without much discomfort.

MsE-gal

[Eveningstar]

Mrs. E.

I did not take the Oregon pictures, I got them from a friend. I'm on the East Coast and have not been to the West Coast since I were a lad... I don't know how they took the pictures, but the ones I took were taken with a digital camera, a FujiFilm FinePix 2600Zoom.
It's a nice camera, easy to use. Just don't let little kids use it or they break it like my nephews did. Delicate mechanism.
:p

[Little Lamb]

ES,

I didn't think you did take the pictures, but I couldn't prove you didn't. And I didn't want to start an arguement. You do live in a cold area of the world. (Brrrr!)

In any event, it is a nice picture you posted. I like it.

You could never start an arguement with me, only discover the truth.:)
Yes, sometimes it does get cold where I live, and sometime it get hot, and sometime it just right.:)
We get all 4 Seasons in the extreme and mildness of the Lord.
Makes enduring interesting sometimes, to say the least...
The older we get here the more boasting we do of our afflictions:)
