It is 5am here. It's snowing. I am mildly intoxicated. The BF is sleeping. I am going to play in the snow. There will be snowmen. Lots of small ones. I have a package of cloves in my pocket for eyes and buttons. There will also be pictures. Wish me luck.

'I am just going outside and may be some time.'

I am back. There are six cute snowmen outside, and three others that are not quite finished. I realized when I was outside that my friend borrowed my digital camera!

This is one I made a week ago. They look like this:

Nice!!! We did finally get some decent rain here last night. More coming next weekend! Yay! Rain sleet or snow, we'll take it. Although snow would be peaceful and pretty to watch. :D

Happy Nor'Easter - I went out for the morning paper and the ground was like powdered glass. Parts of the street have a good half-inch of solid ice, and the sleet's still showering down.

Jealous. We were supposed to get snow today but it's 39 degrees today and just raining like hell. It's been raining for months now.

So much snow here in Toronto. It's been snowing since Friday, and shows no sign of stopping!

Cute.
it's snowing like an endless dust storm outside.
i wish i had an insulated catsuit for The Bees so we could play in the snow. i'm not sure if she gets cold or nervous but she starts shivering. She's never seen snow before and is pretty amazed.

Kyoot! It was a glorious day today here in London - sunny, bright and not very cold.

But it is now 4.15pm and almost fully dark.

Raining mad snow here now - it's 11:19am Sunday, and you can see the depth of it by looking at the base of the tree outside - a snow hole that is about a foot deep.

The back spine of the Adirondack chair outside is all that is visible. The garden is deeply buried.

The wind outside howls, and as it's path moves through the boards of this house, I realize that my past is a plodding thing, made noiseless through memory.

For future reference, next time this mood strikes you should make a horde of these. And then put them all over his car. Or all around the front door and send him out for the paper in the morning.

It is raining now.
The ground looks like white Del's.

Awww... very cute mr. snowman. He needs a tophat!

It's more the iceman cometh here, I fear.

Alaska got an inch or two last week, and nothing since.
At least the ground is partly white now.

So jealous. I'm in LA, after five years in Boston, and godDAMN I miss how wonderful winter can be.

(I don't miss digging my car out in the morning, but tromping home through snow and having hot chocolate and lentil soup makes up for it.)

On going outside in the snow, and in response to e/j: My second favourite Ad at the moment. And my favourite.

Just cold rain and high wind here, unfortunately. Though on my way out this morning to get the paper and bagels, I noticed someone's gazebo in the middle of the street. It was legs up, like a big, dead bug. I have no idea whose yard it escaped from, but it was gone when I got back.
