  • Un temps exceptionnel ce 1er Mars


    An exceptional weather on this 1st of March .


    English version below every text .




    What I see from my computer place  : the street                                          1st March 2005 taken by Michel Fauquet


      Pendant que je tape ce blog il neige , et il neige beaucoup . Et pour un premier Mars c ' est exceptionnel pour nous ici à Amiens dans le nord de la France .. Voici sur la photo ci - dessus ce que je vois depuis par la fenêtre en ce moment précis . Du sel a été déposé dans la rue et dans une entrée pour faire fondre cette neige .


      While I type this blog it is snowing , and it snows much . We are on the first of March and it is exceptional for us , here , in Amiens iin Northern France . Here is on the picture above what I see out the window at this exact moment . Salt has been put on the street and a drive way to make the snow melt .



    View from our living on the backyard : stall and lawn  wih trees               . taken the 1st of March by M.Fauquet


      Et voici ce que je vois depuis notre salle de séjour sur l ' arrière de la maison. C ' est le garage et
    l 'ancienne écurie avec un aspect inhabituel . La vieille lanterne et la pompe qui ornent le mur en briques blanches apparaissent sombres On voit aussi une partie de la pelouse . Blanche .


       And here is what I see from our living room on the back of the house. This the garage and the
    ancient stall with an unusual look . The old lantern and the pump that ornate the wall made with white bricks look dark . We see also a part of the lawn with the trees . White !



    Roofs of my office and the stalls viewed from the second floor of the main building .              M Fauquet 1st March 2005


    Voici ce que je vois depuis notre second étage : la perspective sur les toits de mon bureau et de l ' ancienne écurie . On voit mieux la pelouse et les arbres . Le potager est encore plus loin caché .


    This  above is what I see from our second floor : the perspective of the roofs of my personal office and the ancient stall . We see better the lawn and the trees . The vegetable garden is farther hidden by the trees


      Pour beaucoup d ' amis américains cela n ' a rien de surprenant mais pour nous c ' est un événement . Les autoroutes sont dangereuses malgré le salage on le sablage . Janine devait aller voir son père dans une maison de retraite à 80 km d ' ici . Elle ira demain .
      
    Les services sociaux s ' efforcent de trouver les sans - abris pour leur offrir un abri pour la nuit . mais certains ne veulent pas et préfèrent se débrouiller seuls . Pourtant il gèle la nuit -( -6 ° C ).



                                 Puisse le doux printemps arriver bientôt !


      For many American friends this is not surprising but for us it is an event . The highways are dangerous in spite of the salt and rhe sand spraid on thm . Janine had to go to a rest home at 80 km from here to meet her father . She will go tomorrow .
     
    The social service tries to find the poor people without house to offer to them a shelter for the night . Some of them prefer to manage on their own . However it is freezing on night ( - 6 ° C ) .


                                  May the sweet springtime come soon !







    Et le jour suivant ......


    And the day after........

  • Right, here on the Great Lakes we're in the 40th hour of constant snow. We're used to it, but come March we just want it gone...

    Still, it can be very beautiful...

  • You've got so much snow!! We haven't had any snow or any rain. It's pretty odd for this area and they are already talking about drought conditions. Stay warm and drink lots of tea or hot cocoa!

  • It seems strange to see all your beautiful snow while my flowers are starting to bloom.  We have had a great deal of rain this year.  Our hills are green and the wildflowers are in bloom.  I hope your spring comes soon.  The snow is beautiful but it also makes driving difficult. 

  • I saw it on television, snowing in Normandie and Picardie. Hier in Bruxelles  it snowing and not snowing, the time never makes up his mind hier, but it is cold.

    The landscape in amiens must be nice with the snow. Will you send more photo's?

    Bien à toi

  • En Ohio, nous avons recu beaucoup de la neige. C'est belle, mais marchant est dificile, et je dois marcher a mes classes beaucoup des temps!

  • please be safe and stay warm...

  • Stay warm.  We've had snow but not as bad as that.

  • If it snowed here it would be an event also!  In my lifetime it has only snowed here once and it was so unusual that everyone stopped what they were doing to stand outside in wonderment...even as the thin layer of snow melted almost as quickly as it landed.

  • enjoy your snow from the comfort of your cozy warm home~!

  • Oh your photos are so beautiful. You live in a lovely comforting place.
    The view is so pretty.
    I hope you are warm and safe.
    Enjoy the beauty.
    Yesterday we received 18 cm of snow. Now it is windy, b-r-r-r-r.


    Rosemary

  • What a memorable March 1 for you!  I am sure this will make spring all the more glorious when it finally arrives.

  • When my family lived in Italy it did not snow very often either.  It looks wonderful !  You are making me miss Europe, Michel!

    -matt

  • Yep, Rufus is her guinea pig. He's a cutie too! And very full of personality!

    We are all worried about drought now that we are supposed to be in our rainy season and there isn't any! Yikes!

  • I am surprised you do not get much snow. I just love your house. This will be the type of home I will look to own when I move.

  • Il fait mauvase ici aussi aujord'hui.
    C'est terrible pour conduire.

    K xo

  • Il neige chez toi et chez moi aujoud'hui!

    As-tu une pelle pour deneiger ton trottoir?

  • Une pelle sans manche? Ca sera pas rigolo!!

    Et ton histoire de pantalon m'a fait sourire!

  • I think we got part of your snow storm. However, it wasn't as bad as they thought it would be. Not good for driving.

  • I would love to send warm weather, but I will have to send warm thoughts instead... it is still snowing here... 8 inches plus. No sign of spring yet... but we can pray for it

  • I know its been very cold in France I was watching the rugby from Paris on Saturday and the reporter had many layers of clothes on as he was that cold . I would love to get that much snow but because Widnes is sheltered from the East we do not get much . I hope the grand children enjoy their snow day . Hope Janine and you keep warm and safe

  • Bonjour, Michel!

    Coming from South Carolina, I never saw a lot of snow growing up. It would only snow about four or so times a year, and it would only be up to around two inches. Now in Canada, I am getting used to seeing and getting more and more snow. It is a big change for me, but I like it very much. It started snowing here in Toronto yesterday around 11am, and has not stopped yet! We are expected to get over 20cm. I believe the temperature is -8 degrees celsius right now. You, my friend, are not the only one being bombarded with winter weather right now!

    I hope that Janine makes it to see her father soon. It is a disappointment for her not to be able to see him, I'm sure. If you must go out, please be careful and stay warm! Have a wonderful day! God bless.

  • it is beautiful but also alot of work. i lived in the snow for ten years. i do not miss it. and i can drive to it in less than two hours. wonderful photos.

  • It looks so beautiful. I know that it is cold and unusual for your weather this time of year. But I do love when snow covers everything like in your pictures.

    I recently read a book called, "Two Old Women" that was an Alaskan Legend-it was so good and I thought of the book when you mentioned the homeless people living in this kind of weather. Perhaps you could find it in French? It is such a good tale.

    Thanks for all of your comments on my blogs-I don't mind you being late. I just appreciate your visits!

    Hugs,

    Lisa

  • The pictures are beautiful, Michel.  We had snow here also on March 1.  School started an hour late for most students and Katie did not have school at all since she only goes in the morning.  Julie will be jealous of your snow and will be moaning that they never get snow.  I would be happy not to have any more since we have had so much but can understand that it is a big event where you are.  Enjoy it, it really is beautiful!!  I loved all the views from your house, you have a lovely neighborhood!  Karen

  • Karen knows Julie nearly as well as I do. She ( Julie ) is a DARK shade of green with envy, she even told me about your snow when she rang a short while ago. As someone said ... snow is for Christmas cards ! I hope Janine gets to see her father soon and safely too. Lovely photos BTW... the way I like to admire snow - from a distance. marie

  • Le paysage est magique et très pur, vu de l'intérieur auprès d'un bon feu et buvant un breuvage chaud. Mais si on est dehors, ça devient beaucoup moins gai. L'hiver n'est pas ma saison préférée.

    Je ne comprends franchement pas pouquoi nombre de sans-abri, que ce soit chez vous ou ailleurs, refusent l'hébergement quand il leur est offert par des conditions difficiles.

    Merci de ton amitié continue, Michel.

    Clara

  • Such beautiful photos. I certainly hope it doesn't cause you much hardship.

  • Looks like you have a little surprise for your first day of March It is doing the same thing here right now, after getting another 10 inches a couple of days ago. I think it is a good idea for you to view it from inside where you have no danger of a auto accident. I try not to drive until after the storms are over and the roads are cleared. Good idea for Janine to wait before driving to see her father, it will be much safer..

    I enjoyed your pictures. In the first one it appears that it is snowing quite hard. The one good thing about your storm, I imagine that it will not last very long there, and will soon be melted. Enjoy the beauty of it while it lasts.

    Love ,

  • Il neige beaucoup en Philadelphie aussi... j'en ai marre! Mais la neige francaise, je la trouve plus belle.

  • Here in Colorado Springs we are snow free and the day is bright and clear.  Your photos are lovely.  But I'm hoping very much for Spring and Jonquils SOON. 

  • The snow is beautiful, but I don't think I would want to live with it.  I didn't know that sand and salt is put on the snow, that is really interesting.  I just wonder where the salt ends up.  We have areas where salt from the ground has risen with the raising ground water levels and has made the land useless....nothing will grow in these salty inland environments. This is due to two hundred years of clearing our fragile land of trees.  So the idea of deliberatly putting salt on the ground is a very strange one to me. 

    Autumn has started here.  It is noticable only because the days are becoming shorter, and I now rise in the mornings before the sun.  I hope you will get some nice Spring weather soon and that your vegetable garden will do well again this year.  I imagine that once the snow melts it will be time to start work in the garden?

  • Very pretty! I've wanted snow this winter, but we haven't had any snow worth talking about. A little ice, but that's it. It snowed here today too, but only a dusting.

  • On a eu pas mal de neige ici aujourd'hui (a Montreal, Quebec, Canada), c'etait tres jolie! :)
    I love the photo you shared here of what you see from your computer.
    Just beautiful!
    Thank you for sharing et passez une tres bonne journee!

    Amicalement,

    Wren

  • *sigh* I wish it'd snow in texas.

  • we had a blizzard here too join the club...the weather is out of control these days...

  • What a beautiful snow...big flakes! I like the second picture best with the red bricks and evergreens contrasting the white snow. It is still cold and snowy in Illinois, too. I am sending warm greetings to you both.

  • Wonderful pictures of your snow falls, Michel! I do think the world weather patterns are changing, and we still have hot days, even though it's now March! You've included some beautiful pictures here, and I especially love the one from your window. The snow looks so magical!!

  • We haven't had that much snow here. I"m like you i'm ready for spring. I wish it would come  and soon. Well you all take care, be careful, drive carefully and be safe.   :)

  • yes snow here too! stay warm with the wife and enjoy the beautiful scenes!

  • I have to comment in English today because it's much faster for me and I have to rush for class soon :) I've actually never experienced snow in all my years of existence. It looks amazing and so "clean". I probably wouldn't be used to it though and would need twice as much winter clothing as other people!

  • Je ne l'aime pas quand il neige, mais c'est très beau. Il fait beau en Colorado.

    Je pense que vous voudriez ces photographies. Ayez la patience, s'il vous plâit, parce que ces photographies sont très grand:

    J'habite à Boulder, Colorado. Il y a une photographie de Boulder et mon université sur ce site Web. Mon père travaille pour la compagnie qui a fait les photographies.

  • how pretty! we don't get much snow here in alabama, but i did see a decent amount when i was in pennsylvania once =) be careful if you get out in the weather.

    it's 27degrees F here... cold!! and it was in the 70s the other day!

  • the snow looks beautiful from your photos, but it looks like December photos... wishing you warm and sunny spring days  :o )

  • hello michel! it seems that you are having the same weather that we are having here in the uk......i am very ready for spring and hope that this snow does not stay very long!!

  • Cher Michel,

    alors vous me demandiez l'autre fois comment vous pouvez afficher-diffuser une vidéo sur votre Xanga. C'est très simple, surtout en ce qui concerne les sites comme le mien : il vous suffit de bloquer-copier-coller l'objet virtuel en question dans une de vos rédactions d'entrée comme n'importe quel texte ou image et vous pouvez vérifier le code HTML par vous mêmes en cochant sur la page d'édition HTML.

    Ce faisant, il vous est facile de repérer l'adresse initiale d'où la vidéo est stockée, et à partir d'elle vous pouvez rectifier les codes aux alentours selon vos besoins. J'avoue que ma méthode n'est pas des plus sophistiquées mais y'a pas grand secret non plus. Le recentrage de la dernière vidéo en date a emprunté les codes de tabulation (TABLE align=center TBODY, etc...). Donc dès que j'ai une vidéo qui me plaît, je repère la source, puis je reproduis à peu près à chaque fois les mêmes codes sauvegardés au préalable.

    Le XV de France ont été épatants à Twickenham alors qu'ils traînaient au score durant la majeure partie du match, mais malheureusement les gallois ont fait le même exploit sur votre pelouse ! Quel audace et courage pour revenir au score ainsi ! Faut dire que durant la 1ère mi-temps, défaut habituel, les français se sont trop occupés à faire le beau jeu sans pouvoir concrétiser dans les temps forts. Le match fut un délice à regarder du point de vue technique, les Bleus ont mieux joué que durant les deux matches précédents...L'ironie du sport !

    Et enfin, en ce qui concerne votre entrée, c'est une bien jolie ballade que vous nous offrez-là. Il fait bien frisquet mais de la lumière reflètée par la couche blanche émane certes un effet appaisant.

  • Whew!!  Look at all that snow!!!!!!!!!

  • Michel,

    The snow is beautiful!  What a beautiful view from your windows.  It looks as if you are very prepared for snow.  It would be quick the shock if we had that here!  :O)

    xoxo Cat

  • Oh that is a lot of snow. It looks beautiful.
    I like the new pictures as well

  • Answer to your post is in your email. Thanks for your concern...t

  • ryc:  Merci beaucoup!  : )  I can not take credit for the topic, though, as I belong to a Blogring called Photo Challenge.  The weekly challenge topic is decided by rotating members of that group.  Have a great day!

  • Oh my, I love those kind of snows. Not the dangerous street part, but the beauty of it. It was bitter cold here in Midwest USA yesterday, but no snow. We have gotten very little snow this season. The folks on the Northest coast are getting it all.

  • Hi Michel,

    Thanks for your very kind response to the post on my site, Please don't apologize for not posting sooner. Obviously, I am not making site visits or blogging right now, so I cannot really expect people to be visiting me. My life is very hectic at the moment. I am hoping that it will slow down a little soon!

    I sympathize with your snow! When you are not accustomed to it, it is hard to handle. We have snow on the ground now, too, and very cold temperatures, but that is normal for Minnesota at this time of year. We have another 2 months of the possible snow season. Usually in March we get about 10 1/2 inches of snow, This year we have less than usual so far this winter, so we shall see what happens between now and spring!

    Nancy

  • Be careful when you shovel...the medical experts say that shoveling can be dangerous for he heart.  How warm is it normally in Amiens in the month of March?  I like very much the heavy iron gate. How long have you and your family lived there?

  • Thank you for sharing those pictures. I have not seen snow like that in many many years. I am sorry for the hardship that can come along with it, but ohhhhh it is very beautiful to look at so thank you.

  • J'adore ton site et toutes tes photos!! Je me suis perdue l'autre jour en "feuilletant" les pages de ton journal intime...mais il m'en reste encore plusieurs à découvrir.  Merci de partager ces petits trésors de la vie avec nous.  bisous tiffany

  • we usually get two or three good snows each year in my part of the country, but they have been sadly absent this season.

  • TRES INTERRESSANT! A HONG KONG NOUS N'AVONS PAS DE NIEGE.

  • We had snow too...so pretty but so cold and heavy...stay warm and safe...your pictures are wonderful...huggs...Sassy

  • dans pennsylvanie, nous avons recu beacoup de neige! c'etait tres beau! j'adore les photos! a toute a l'heure!

  • Snow looks pretty but the clearing and the slush as it melts is not good one benefit of living in Australia, no snow where we live. It must make your back ache thanks for visits Love Marjie

  • Don't shove the snow! You'll hurt yourself and regret it later!!

    It looks so lovely. You know what they say about March: comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb because the weather starts off badly in March but by the end of the month spring is here and nice!

    Your house is lovely

  • Wow this is pretty phenomenal. I also remember that last summer had been terribly hot in France .... the weather is really messed up these days.

    Have fun while the snow lasts Michael

  • Les nouvelles photos sont impressionnantes.

    Je suis très occupée cette semaine et je n'ai pas une seule minute à moi. C'est donc hokie qui compose et poste les blogs chez moi pour s'amuser et divertir la galerie.

    Clara

  • Bonjour, comment allez-vous ? Je me demandais à quelle distance de Paris vous êtes. À quoi ressemble le survivre à où vous habitez et à Paris ? Juger des images que vous l'avez signalé doit être très froid et neigeux je suis au printemps coupure bientôt. Je vais aller à Paris.Billy

  • C'est plaisant de découvrir ton environnement
    de plus enneigé .......
    oui c'est vraiment un vrai hiver pour tous !!

    il y a 15 jours, un sans abri a dormi devant notre porte au 5eme étage ... (la porte de notre immeuble ne ferme pas toujours correctement); je l'ai entendu s'installer (avec sa bouteille!) vers les 1h du matin et pouvais distinguer son ombre au travers de l'oeil de boeuf ... que faire me suis-je dit ? J. et le concierge (sans doute) dormaient du sommeil des justes et j'ai pensé que ce pauvre hère méritait aussi son sommeil pour une nuit "grand luxe sur notre palier avec radiateur et tableaux amcolours ;) " on pourrait toujours aviser au matin ... vers 7h15 lorsque J. sortit pour le bureau, il venait de s'en aller par l'ascenseur laissant flotter une légère odeur de cigarette ...
    fin de l'histoire - nous ne l'avons plus revu depuis

    amitiés

  • What a treat even though it also means extra work and the need to be very careful when driving.  Many parts of America do not get snow or only get it on rare occasions.  When I lived in New England there was much snow each winter.  It was always beautiful.  The cycle of seasons brings new delights with passing time.

    Carol Suzanne

  • La neige me fait penser a une chanson de Francois Feldman :) On dit "penser a" ou "penser de" dans ce cas? Merci en avance!

  • it's pretty cold here in Hong Kong as well...but i am glad that it never snows! haha

    anny

  • this is when those young and energetic grand kids would  come in very handy! grab your snow shovel and come with me! thanks for the kind comments. you are wonderful.

  • Thank you for posting photos of the plough . I did think about you this morning when it was on our news about how much snow the south east of England has had over night ( so your daughter would of had snow as well ) as I knew you would be getting more snow as well . love a jealous Julie

  • I am not a fan of the cold weather and the snow.  It looks like it caused you a lot of work! 

  • Hello,

    I'm Char(cjc2).

    Your pictures are lovely. I sometimes miss the snow. I grew up in New York State but now live in Florida. In the 30+ years I've lived here we've only had snow twice.

    Stay inside and warm in your lovely home.

  • Beautiful pictures .love fancy

  • Michel, did you include these last two pictures of you shoveling snow later? They look great! It looks very cold, hard work.

  • Those were really nice pictures, Michel.  Thanks for sharing them.  It's a very nice neighborhood.  Please be careful in the snow....and don't overdo with the shoveling.  How are your choir rehearsals going?  We got our programs for Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday.  We on ly have two more practices before Palm Sunday.  At the last practice, the entire tenor section was sick.  I hope they are better for the Holy Days.  How is all with your choirs?

  • It is so beautiful....except as you know, it is a lot of work!

  • thanks so much for the comment, michel.  i confronted him and he did say he was sorry.  stupid kids.......

  • That is a lot of snow you are trying to move around there

  • Well the snow might not fall much there, but isn't it beautiful?

    -Ranah

  • your street is beautiful...where do you live?

  • Have courage, Michel!  Spring is almost here!  And like Karen and MM, I was thinking the very same thing how Juls is jealous of your snowfall.  I told her she could have all the snow in Rhode Island if she wanted!  I'm sick of it!   Your photos are beautiful, Michel.  Thank you for sharing them.  Cheers, Neil

  • À moi, il semble comme l'endroit où vous êtes est semblable à où je vis. Il neige seulement de temps en temps et c'est toujours un événement ! Vos images sont belles. Faites attention et ne travaillez pas en pellant trop dur la neige. Nous ne voulons pas que vous deveniez blessés dehors là!

    To me, it seems like the place where you are is similar to where I live.  It only snows occasionally and it is always an event!  Your pictures are lovely.  Take care and do not work too hard shoveling the snow.  We don't want you to get hurt out there!

  • Thanks, Michel, for telling me about your snow plow pictures.  You make a fine snow plow indeed!  Hopefully soon all the snow will melt and we can begin to plant flowers!  Meanwhile, we have more snow predicted for Monday!

  • Lovely pictures of the snow!  I hope your grandkids enjoyed it. 

  • The pictures are quite beautiful, but I am sorry it made more work for you. Did Janine get to see her father? Take good care!

  • Hello my dear friend you better take it easy out playing snow plow looks like you got the same amount of snow as we just got. It is cold brrrrr Hope we all get spring sooooon I'm getting caban fever I need to get out. God Bless hugs

  • RYC. yes MICHEL you have understood my feeling so well, in fact I have my daughter's sadness at heart. remember I mentioned her jealous man. She's having to face a sad time of her life, I know it will pass, as a mother I live her sadness too. RITA

  • Michel!  91 comments...wow!

    Yes I agree with you...the greatest of all is love.

    How is the snow?  My son has arrived from snow to balmy, sub-tropical weather here in Florida.  He is very glad to be home!  His momma is glad he is home too!  :O)

    xoxo Cat

  • you be careful with that shovel papa!

  • Spring is here in Texas.  No snow for us!  Hubbard has been working in the yard all day long.  Your snow looks really pretty!

  • I'm glad you like it. My dad came from a long line of alcoholics. It was hard times but hard times make you appreciate what you do have and the good times. Sorry about your parents though. Take care.

  • O wow! You seem like an interesting person. You speak both English and French.  Are you originally from the US?  What has you in France?  The snow is lovely.  Have a wonderful weekend!

  • Be very careful with that shovelling! The French teacher at school is taking some of her students to Paris in two weeks. Should they pack snow boots? Also I have a question for you.
    In America a woman can be addressed as Miss (Mademoiselle) or Mrs. (Madame) or Ms. which doesn't depend on marital status. Is there a word for Ms in French?

  • brrrrrrrr!  That looks so cold. Beautiful, too. I love the picture of you shoveling snow.

  • I absolutely love the pictures.... and I am so very jealous! We didn't get any snow this season and I am very disappointed. Maybe we should trade places for a day or so because I am enjoying 60-70 degree temperature and playing in my garden. I have onions, garlic and brussel sprouts growing outside and other things are planted. The trees are budding out and bulbs are starting to bloom. These are the first signs of Spring for us. But I hear it is cold in Italy and that is where I will be in a few days. We leave Thursday for a 10 day trip. We do stop in France but only to change planes. I'll wave when we fly over.  :)      Blessings, kc

  • Oh my gosh, that is so beautiful! You're so fortunate! It's been raining a lot (by that, I mean A LOT! Like three years worth of rain or more) here, and it's dreadful. Actually, it's not tha bad, but I miss snow dearly. It never snows in where I live, and that indeed IS dreadful. Well, thanks for sharing that with us.

  • Bonjour Monsieur Fauquet.
    I have not read your blog is so long. You had disappeared for awhile, and so I eventually deleted you from my list. It's nice to see you around. Looking forward to catching up again.

    I hope that you are well and your beautiful family is also.

  • yes, am loving it too here in holland. i just slipped once o ice, aftre the snow started to melt- hard on my butt! hehhe! but it is beautiful!

  • Bonjour Michel! C'est vraiment beaucoup de neige pour le nord de la France! Et il fait très froid aussi. Moi aussi, j'espère que le printemps viendra bientôt!
    à propos de Vastu, tu peut lire un petit peu ici et ici. Amitiés à toi!

  • Merci, Michel, pour ton deuxiem commentaire. Je crois que Janine a une intuition très précieuse! Oui, c'est très important d'avoir quelque overture à l'est parce que le Soleil le rèigne et il a beaucoup d'influence sur les hommes dans la maison en particulièr. Mais on peut corriger cette imperfection par poser un "yantra" de soleil sur le mur. Si tu es intéressé, je peux t'envoyer qq liens sur l'internet. Une peinture avec les couleurs chauds est aussi une bonne idé! Bisous et bonne soirée!

  • hi, great pictures and what a loveoy home!!What a great idea to doboth english and french!  Maybe I should follow your lead and do both English and Spanish!!!  have a great day in the beautiful snow and then get warm and toasty in your great home!!!  Here in the South,we make snow angels when we get snow, yall should try it and them make some great snow cream.. Your snow is so white!!!  Alittle vanilla, some nice berries and you will have great snow cream!!! Till next time be safe

  • yes, i get  a lot of snow myself.  sometimes over a foot!  stay safe and warm!

  • Thank you for coming for a visit at my site. That was very nice of you.

    RYC: I have Scleroderma. It is like an autoimmune disease have had it for 13 years but it did not rear it's head till about 2 years ago. I am not complaining as I am grateful for each and every day of my life. :)

  • Hey There!

    I've seen you at so many of my friend's sites saying such nice and kind words, so I just had to stop by your site, too, and say Hi!!  

    Very cool site you have here!  Thanks for all the kind and sweet things you have said to my friends.  I really appreciate it!  You are such a nice person!!

    (((HUGS)))

  • I hope you read all your comments. I am the 109th commentor. Actually you are the most popular person I have ever seen at xanga. WOW!

    We have 13 inches of snow on the ground at our home right now. I sure am ready for winter to be finished. I need spring time with flowers shooting out from the ground. I want to see green grass again. Ah well, soon ...............

    Great pictures, by the way!

  • WOW! I love your site. You seem like such a sweet man. I subscribed to you before and I have no idea why I stopped reading. Maybe I unsubscribed by accident. Anyway, I have subscribed again.

    Keep taking pictures of France for us Americans who are too poor to travel to Europe. It's so interesting to see how people live and France and what type of products you use. Why don't you post some pictures of meals your wife cooks for you? It's always interesting to see what food people are eating in other countries.

    Cheers!

  • Were having strange weather here also. March is coming in like a lamb here. Its about 70 to 74 degrees and windy today. Its beautiful. It gets lighter here, stays lighter longer now and we've also seen the robins. Spring is coming and so looking forward to it. Hope all is well. Take care and your welcome. LOLOL

  • Just wanted to drop in and say hello.  It's been awhile!  The snow pictures are beautiful!

  • You had fun in the snow? I hope so. It is very beautiful.

  • My friend, I feel your pain. We are getting more snow than usual in Mannheim and Heidelberg, also. Denise is in Fulda, which is in a bit of a higher altitude, so she's used to all the snow they get. I'm not! She keeps trying to teach me to ski, but I'm just not that excited about it. Snow simply isn't my thing. It's too damn cold!

    While skiing this past weekend, I had managed to make it most of the way down the mountain without falling too much. I had stopped, and was talking to Denise when this little girl about as tall as my knees came from no where and ran into me...fast. Skis, sticks, little girls and Derrols went everywhere! Quite an adventure. Thankfully, she was ok. Not me! I smacked my head pretty good, and had a pounding headache and dizziness. Everything's okay now, though.

    Take care, my Friend. In friendship,

    ~Derrol

  • That is a very nice neighborhood you live it, from what I see in the pictures. Nice yard! And pretty in the late snow, too. I am hoping to see spring, too, when all will be fresh and new again. Until then, I enjoy the snow while it is here.

  • Brrrr! I don't miss shoveling snow, but I do miss all the fun stuff, like sledding and skiing! Hope you are well!

  • We have hardly had any snow at all here!

  • j'ai appris le francais au lycee :]

  • Brrr, makes me shiver. Thank goodness spring has finally sprung here. Yet we haven't had winter weather like you. Keep that furnace stoked and the heating bill paid!

  • the dress wasnt too terribly ugly, but it was so greasy and dirty that i feared that i would catch a disease wearing it!

  • c'est pareil ici aux Philippines, nous avaient eu un temps exceptionnellement légèrement froid depuis le premier jour de mars.  il est étrange puisque la mois de mars est le début de la saison d'été ici dans notre pays. 

    mais ce sûr est amusement à jouer dans la neige, n'est-ce pas?

  • Thank you for the English version! Beautiful photos!

    What a great site....thank you for posting!

  • thanks so much for subscribing,, have a great week,, until next time be safe

  • greetings and salutations michel

    thankyou for your kind words - we have weird weather here also - I think the tsunami has something to do with it & also global warming though it does look like global chilling where you are.....it is always hard to imagine snow in the city for me....

    I remember going to England with my mum - we woke up and it was snowing outside - incroyable!!! zut alors!!!! and then we thought to go out sight seeing  not thinking that services would be delayed because of snow - they were - we waited very long times for transport while stomping in the snow to keep warm - but oh! the prettiness of it all!

    glad you are well and active - take care - anon - 8)8)8)8)8)8)8)8)

  • Oh, la France semble comme Indiana. Il neige aujourd'hui, mais pas beaucoup.  Le temps faisait beau, il y a deux jours.  Le temps change rapidement. 

    Je suis d'accord!   

    bonne journee
