Those are the kind of Pictures I really enjoy looking at and knowing I
wasn't there to take ! ;-)
So was that you next to the Snow Queen or the artist ?

That's the Snow Queen's owner and co-builder.

Our fire station built a family of snow giants out of the snow they'd
shovelled off their forecourt. There's a drunk snowman leaning on a
dustbin opposite the end of this road. I've had reports of one asleep
on a park bench on the other side of town. The university students
built all sorts of stuff - arches, castles, towers. Someone had lifted
a huge slab of trodden packed snow off a forecourt and propped it
upright then put a tiny snow finial on top of it. Now that icicles are
available we'll want to sort the Queen out a sceptre!

My compliments to Her and her Partner.

Nice shots. I'm right across the pond from you in Newfoundland and we
don't have a stitch of white on the ground. It was 7 degrees the other day.



Not a stitch of white on the ground! That's not the usual, is it CD?


Not by a long shot. I grew up with snow from November to April, now
we're lucky to see snow from mid-January to mid-March. We get little to
no sea ice off the Avalon now too where it used to clog the coast from
February to April. (Which affects the seals terribly as the ice melts
out from under the pups and they drown in the tens of thousands.)

Lots of icebergs in the spring though. Greenland has been much too busy.

Chilly in your neck of the woods I see...but some milder stuff looks to
be on the way.

:]

Right. It has been milder - a little break in the action. That's a
shame about the seal pups. When you say Greenland has been much too
busy, that's because its polar cap may be deteriorating?
