Snowed in Oregon last night, but around here snow stays where it belongs this time of year - up on the mountain - 4500 feet up.

You just reminded me why we moved to NC 6 years ago... I've been in a tank, shorts and flip flops all week. Snow in May should just not be allowed... sending sunshine and warmth your way.

It sure looks pretty.

SarahB · 05-12-2005

Your pictures are beautiful...but I'm really glad it's not here!

Brrrrrrrrrrrr

But it looks pretty

Hey Cuff, don't be so selffish and send some of that snow to the top of my mountains, we need it here, not there.

cuffedlinks · 05-12-2005

I'd like to oblige you Jesus, If I had ANY control over that sort of thing...

I was just outside again and heard tree limbs from across the street bending under the strain....

Wow, it DOES look beautiful though, Cuff!

Wish we'd get at least ONE good snow up here, it's fun when it happens so rarely. Right now we've been having 15 to 20 degree days (celsius).

Ginger, we had a decent snow back in January. Well at least here in Burnaby did, but i can't complain about the shorts and tee-shirt weather we have right now. I love it. I was made to live in the sun!

Now I can say, MN isn't so bad!

Beautiful photos! We lost many of our trees in an ice storm we had in NE PA in January - no power for 7 days! It looks like a bomb dropped in the area and they say that with the severe amount of damage to the trees from all of the branches breaking off it will take around 20 yrs for the area to be as it was before the storm. I know why you are concerned about the weight of the snow on the tree limbs. Sounds like gunshots when the branches break. It is amazing how something that looks so beautiful can cause such damage. Hope you get some sleep.
