Western Oregon

Some people go all out for X mas decorating- my friend Lisa wanted to outdo her neighbors display with lighted deer replicas, Lisa took it up a notch and went with actual live deer! Yes we had a dose of snow....
I took pictures here, but the unique to the camera cable to download got left in Ohio. .... my pics will have to wait.
After dealing with ice & slippery driving, it was nice to hear the rain today.

I LOVE the beautiful snow & blanket of white.... but icy roads suck.
Can I have one without the other?

Anyway.... it was a nice interlude..... but rain, you don't have to scrape off your windshield....

How is your weather???

Beautiful photos!

Yes, the roads suck here in New Jersey too. And tomorrow it's supposed to rain so it will all melt and then freeze into solid ice as soon as it gets cold again.

Fran,

I used to love the snow too.

At least the first day. Then the reality hits: it mixes with motor oil, chemicals, salt and road dirt and it becomes a filthy mess that attaches to your car and shoes. The dirty car is really hard for me to deal with.

Snow is pretty for the first 24 hours then after that, it's a nightmare.

Since I didn't grow up with snow, I didn't realize this till we moved up here. Can't wait to move away from it.
