Wow you for sure got enough snow overthere.. I wish it will be spring soon...me needs it badly :) Beautiful Pictures!

i could imagine you sitting in that lounge chair in the lower shot right now Rod with a disapointed looks on your face, sure is alot bro. i used to climd them pole in my younger days gathering insulators myself. glad it was not a shocking exp for me, hope you get Ranpha's help. i can't make it over.

The same is happening to Chicago. But I think that Chicagoans need something to complain about in terms of weather. We love sitting at the edge of the desert praying for rain, only to invite the deluge, and then we love sitting in the deluge, praying for dry weather, thus inviting the drought, and we love sitting in droughts, praying for rain again. It's the Chicago way...which is probably the human way. This is a marvelous series of shots and snow does have its own distinct beauty, when it's fresh and still white. I love these and even laughed at the "frozen jellyfish" in the first shot...well...not really jellyfish, but that's what they looked like to me. I'm weird like that.

Well Rod ... that'll learn yah to be careful what you wish for, LOL! Yes, I can laugh because Sh@T rolls down hill as they say and we here in New England keep getting your left overs from these damned storms! Yup. They're forecasting another frigin storm for us now. The one you just got! I too am getting DAMNED sick of all this snow! The average snow fall for us for the month of February is 10". We are now at about 36 inches! SOB! Would you PLEASE KEEP the rest?!

Great captures~! Thats a lot of snow!

We used to live in NH and routinely had 1'-2' snowfalls. Luckily the plows could clear the roads in a matter of hours. It was beautiful but I'm not a winter person, so after 20 years we moved to KY. More ice than snow here, but no one knows how to deal with any of it, so the least amount of snow and the state shuts down. I vote we have Spring early this year!!!

Gorgeous collage and lots of snow! Everywhere in North America|

Great shots, It's been a long time since I've seen snow, and not this much accumulation... I'll let the girl know, and who knows, maybe Ranpha has some crasy contraption in her lab that can help you with all this snow... or possible blow your whole jard sky high! Man! you really got hit hard with all this snow, don't through out your back shoveling it all!...LOL!..

Beautiful shot! RodS-san

Dang, that is pretty deep when it's up to the 'butt end' of your lawn chair! We got hit here in CO last Wednesday and it's been snowing off and on. A lot melted off the pavement yesterday but today was yucky, grey and cold. No melt. I think it's supposed to snow again here. Keep warm and yeah, don't hurt yourself shoveling all that Rod. Hope you do't have to work on the weekend!

Yeah... I know this look all too well... although we haven't had tons of snow this year, we have twice as much as last year and more normal cold assed temps than the past two years here in Michigan. Seems like the worst of the weather has stayed lower in the state and across the country this year. Hang tough man, hopefully only a few more weeks of this crap.

Very cool (pun intended) shots Rod! and this winter, we didn't get much snow at all and what we did get melted right away.... you're getting the snow we should have gotten just think that spring is just around the corner...

Those are great shots of your back yard! I can hardly believe it! Love Chip's "frozen jellyfish." :) They do sort of look like that, don't they? Is that your bbq grill in the second shot? Can I take that to mean you're not going to be cooking me a chicken dinner any time soon? LOL! Hopefully by the time we get there it will all be melted, the sky will be blue, the birds will be singing, and the weather will be balmy! :)

Does look beautiful though.. Here where I live city is super at getting those plows out and clearing the major streets for traffic. Police car comes around announcing anyone parked on the street will be towed..And trust me I watch and they do..

I heard about Kansas getting dumped on and thought of you right away. Glad to know you're well. Brace up, probably less than a month to go and then the snow should be gone. Then we get drought! Yeahhhhh!!!!

Amazing shots indeed, looks very cold, now those are really marvelous winter scenes!

Great captures Rod, and I got to see this first hand as I am in and out of K.C. for work.

hey Rod i can relate, we dug out again over here in Parkville, another nine inches fell and trees knocked out electricity all day, with more snow to come like you said, great captures! sorry about the @#$(*&^%$#JOB, lol!:)*5

ya gotta watch waht you are wishing bro hehehehe.happy shoveling,leave ranpha inside in the warmth with me,nmeanwhile you can freeze your azz off shoveling ,oh yeah and bring us a cup of tea will ya: two sugars. and we all knew that you are a bit balla balla so are we.

Snowmobiles, Rod! lmaooooo Ohh man you are buried, ouch! Excellent pictures, bud, stay warm :)

Whooooaaa Rod that looks cold my friend glad its not me that's all I can say, at least where I live we don''t get snow :-).. Hope you don't get any more of it.. Nice captures by the way..Stay warm in front of the fire or heater..

We just got over a similar hit here in the UK. It does my head in when people go on about how wonderful and beautiful the snow is... they've obviously never had to drive in it!

Thanks for the good look Rod. Your yard looks a bit different then I remember it:) I had a distinct sense of gladness come over me as I read about the two storms in KC...and appreciated the fact that I haven't had to get out the snow shovel even once this year here!

Wonderful captures!!!

Brrrrr Sure looks cold Rod, Wondrous shots of winters dance. Do stay warm, and I think your collection of 'glass insulators' is great, as I have a couple myself.

Cool photos.

That is a boat load of snow. Personally i like to visit snow rather than have it visit me. It is a nice time to sit warm and quiet and render up a storm. stay good.

It's been a nasty winter in Michigan. Last year was on the warm side. This year is horribly cold and awful.

Wow that is indeed a lot of snow Rod, i hope will go away very soon....stay warm my friend. Cool photoshot.

At least one things is good about it. When it piles up on the roof, it stays warmer inside. ;}
