It has been snowing here ( and really cold )in Edmonton for the last couple of days and then this morning...gorgeous winter blue sky that we are famous for!
Many highways are closed and the driving conditions are terrible and the forecast is for rain tomorrow...    But today...isn't it pretty? (sorry, I live in the middle of the city so the pictures aren't that glamorous -  just outside my front door.)

Also couldn't resist mucking about with photofiltre :redface:

You lucky thing you! I wish we had some decent snow here in the UK. Generally whenever we do get snow it lasts around 12 hours then it melts and then the weather warms up again.
I adore snow - the light is so fantastic is'nt it? So bright and clean.
sigh

Thanks for the pics, they're lovely

What lovely pictures, so pretty. We have an uncle visiting from Canada in Australia at the moment and he was hoping for snow by the time he got home in about 3 weeks. It must make Christmas so special with that for a back drop.

Cheryl: you lucky dog!! Here in Minnesota (twin cities area) we are waiting patiently for a good snow...Enjoy it, for I think I am destined to look at everybodys beautiful snow pictures as I gaze longingly at my brown grass.....

How pretty! I'm looking forward to our first real snow fall. I can just smell it! Seriously!
Thanks for sharing the pics!

Isn't it funny, the love/hate relationship we have with snow? I was all stressed out because of the bad road conditions and because I still have problems with my knee after surgery and a fall would be disastrous! But a couple of years ago we had a brown Christmas and I was so bummed. It makes everything look so clean and fresh and I always think everything is a little quieter. A white Christmas is a definite for us now...I guess I am lucky!
:hug: for everyone

mucking about

I just love that phrase.   

Beautiful picture...city or not!!!  I have a love/hate relationship with snow too.  I love it as long as I can stay inside with a nice hot cup of whatever but hate it as soon as I have to go out in it.

Thanks for sharing.

What wonderful pictures, I have said it before but it isn't quiet the same having Christmas in the heat. We went back to England in 99 to have a white Christmas I loved it, but HD didn't like it at all. He is Australian and his first experience of Christmas in winter.

Ooooh Cheryl

I am entirely jealous!  I would rather be at your place than in the supposed "sunny climes" here!!  I can't remember if La Nina or El Nino is responsible for our current weather but whichever one I am most disgruntled.  here we are in the last two weeks of spring and I can count on one hand the days with no rain or wind and actual sunshine.

Yesterday we had wind gusts up to 160km an hour and horizontal rain (about 100 miles?)  I had to fight to stay on my feet and decided to skip lunch as I couldn't face going out in it.

I will therefore enjoy your snow by proxy - thanks for sharing!!  One day I will have a white Christmas!

Beautiful pics ... it makes me think of American movies!!

edie Nov 15, 2006

Cheryl, your pictures are just great! I think that's the only way I like snow - in pictures! 

Terrie Nov 15, 2006

Cheryl your pictures ARE great and I agree with Edie, the only way that I like snow is in pictures also  :crackup:
I LOVED the Christmas with no snow! it was easy to get around, not too cold and the kids went rollerblading on Christmas day. I must admit that all of the Christmas lights and decorations do look better with snow,  if it would just disappear on Boxing day, everything would be perfect :crackup:  :crackup:
