Hi Steve I was crying for not having snow in January but then it hit us in feb and march. Snow in the city is beautiful when fresh but hateful when it becomes black. Snow is very romantic but can be very deadly also.

Like Lorraine, we have to travel to get to snow but 2 years ago had the chance to have a christmas in Canada and there was lots of snow. We were sick of it after a week but everyone back home was emailing to say how lucky we were. Was speaking to family in Toronto the other week and the kids were supposed to have snowboard lessons but there was no snow. With a good dumping in New York state, looks like they may have got some there also and the kids will get their snowboading lessons. At least the snow is a good reason to stay inside and play on the computer.

A nice image, Steve. The sky looks full of snow still too. Things are much the same in Vancouver, with chaos esp during rush hours when snow falls. Many people don't have snow tires on their vehicles, which adds to the pandemonium :) The people in Northern BC watch the news from Vancouver in amazement when we have snow in these parts, as they deal with amazing amounts of snow with no problem, lol. I believe New York State has got a real dumping of snow recently, 100 inches or so, and 2 feet more to come, I think. How lucky can you get LOL

Thank you Vicki! It's amazing how many of the States-side members of TLF have previous lives in England! This is Hayes which is technically in Middlesex, not London, but I don't think that accounts for the clean snow! The reason for that is simple: this was taken at about 6:45 this morning and this is a quiet residential street and only one or two cars had yet been along it. It was very grubby looking half an hour later!

Now, you're sure these were memories you wanted back, aren't you John? :) Thanks for your comment, and it's amazing to think of all the different reactions a single photograph can provoke in different people!

Thanks Mike! Strange how the south had more snow today than the north!

Thanks Don and Lorraine for leaving interesting and thought provoking comments!

Cool shot of the snow Steve. It's the same way here after the first couple of snows, like people forget to slow down on slippery roads I guess. Lots of wrecks at first, then later in the winter everyone gets the hang of it. Don

Hey enjoy the snow Steve.. Were about the same here in Arizona. But it does not take long and they have the roads clear and everyone is out playing in it.

Great composition of your lovely City street.I think a fresh coating of snow makes everything look so pretty and clean looking but im always thankful when Spring arrives.Great photo!
