The National Weather Service is saying we might get up to 20 inches of snow by morning, while conservative estimates land around 13-14".
Sweet. Just what we need on top of the 52 odd inches we've already seen this winter.
But, as in all things, it's all relative. My friend Fred Bryan of Oftencold.com lives in Alaska, and when I mentioned the 20" he didn't even think it worthy of acknowledgment.
There are advantages to living in the boonies though - check out the visitors on Fred's back porch:
Oh my goodness! Is that a real photo from your house?? That are beautiful!!! -Missy
ReplyDeleteNo, that's the porch of my friend up in Alaska. I reread the post and realized I hadn't made that clear; I've edited it to stress the location. Sorry about that. Heck of a shot tho', eh?

I just came back and noticed. Wow, that is beautiful! -Missy
ReplyDeleteOMG...if that doesn't help make it worth it living there! I'm just in awe! I always wanted to go to southern IL when they have the Eagles coming which I think is soon. 20 inches...OMG! So the kids will get a snow day now...ha! They are saying we will get 5-7 inches tomorrow morning to early afternoon. I love hawks but eagles are next!
ReplyDeleteCan hardly imagine all that snow. Here in the Uk we are at a standstill if we have a few ins. !! never mind feet of snow....I don't think I would like all them there eagles on my deck !! Sybil x
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love THOSE visitors to my back porch!
ReplyDeleteWow, What a picture. Dawn
ReplyDeleteThat picture is soooo cool! Now I'm going to have to pop over to your friends site. I only have one blog I read out of Alaska, I might need another opinion <g>

ReplyDeleteHere's hoping his site is updated. Last time I checked it'd been more than two YEARS since his last post. I guess he prefers to wile away his free time on message boards nowadays.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my journal. I wanted to stop in and view your page. I love that picture your posted.
ReplyDeleteAfter talking to my daughter I had to come back and relook at the comments and log, I first thought they were turkeys as we had them at our branch office...
ReplyDeleteBut as a second look, they are not turkeys and they are cool, great to be an American..lol
