It Snowed!!!!

[Bright 9]

Ok, I know that you guys get TONNES of snow over there, but we were thrilled to see a gorgeous white blanket of snow this morning here in Ireland! Well I was anyway! It was only two or three inches but we hardly ever get snow that stays on the ground - it looked so beautiful! I walked my son to school and it was such fun - even tho I ended up with my new suede boots all wet and actually fell on the way home (!!) - despite soggy boots, sore knees, wet jeans, I love it!!!!

Sadly it's melting already but I took some pics.....

(sorry to bore you Alex, I know you're sick of snow already! )

We're suppose to get snow tomorrow, I'm so over bad weather and ready for spring. Nice pics

Beautiful pictures Bright. I had enough snow to last a lifetime, but it always makes me smile to see people that never get to see it be able to. Enjoy it!

Who brought up the "S" word, please dont say the "S" word. I cant take it, I cant take it, is it almost spring yet????? As you can see I am all "S-----" out.

We have had such pretty weather here that my flowers are all coming up. My cannas are about 8 inches tall already. My elephant ears are getting big too! We have a cold front moving in, so this week is back in the 50's, just so we don't get a freeze and kill all my flowers.

it's been so depressing here with loads of rain - everything's muddy and dark so the snow seems so clean and bright! Can't wait for the spring either...tho that means even more rain here!!! sighhhhh.....

thanks Greg will do - just heard on the news we are to have maybe 4 more inches tonight - and the temp will go below -3 (centigrade!) - yay!!!! My husband goes to the east coast USA a lot for work, and to Minneasota (sp??!!) and when I called him to tell him the good news (!) he told me to get over myself! Nice!

Well, Bright, I'm glad to see someone enjoying the snow! We got another 6" or so on Sunday night, and another dusting last night. I don't mind it so much in February, though, since it warms up during the day and we can see that spring is on its way.

Enjoy it, Niamh!! Send us pix of the snowman you build with your son. :D

Thanks for posting the pictures, Bright. I like snow too -- good thing, since I live in Chicago -- and will gladly take a cold sunny day with snow on the ground over a gray rainy one. Remind your husband that Minnesota has had a mild winter this year. . . maybe you should greet him with a snowball when he arrives home from the US!

I love the snow too! Of course, Seattle's weather is very much like yours Bright, our rainy season starts in late Sept and ends in July... We generally get a light dusting of snow every year, and a couple of inches is enough to paralize the entire Puget Sound area! We're very funny.

Of course, I'm now in Idaho, and we've still got snow from December hanging around.

I have to laugh at what the people in So Cal are saying. (yes I know, the floods and hillslides are no laughing matter. Sorry, I'm very insensitive...) "We've had rain for a entire week!" Try having rain for a "double-biblical." I'm jsut a jerk, what can I say.

..........fun of snow wearing off....everything melting and slushy - took me ages to get the snow off the car (had to use a fish slice!) and when I opened the door to take a pic of the kids, they whacked me with a pile of snow - so I'm soggy again....here's the guilty faces!

[DeLarla 22]

A fish slice? Bright, you are so cute! I love the snow. What the heck is a fish slice?

[Bright 9]

doh! it's a thing to remove snow from cars!
