  2. Wow. I live in a tropical country and it will never snow in Singapore. I don't know what a blizzard can do, but I'm also excited to see one. :P

  6. I wouldn't mind the blizzard, just the cleanup afterward. We are so snow-removal impaired down here.

    But I really really LOVE these shots! Fa-la-la-la and all.

  7. Snow day!!! Well...at least that's what my kids are hoping for (...we shall soon find out!). The newly fallen snow looks so peaceful outside, not yet disturbed by footprints or tire tracks... Enjoy the snow Lisa!!

  8. I hope you don't have to go out or be outside. Looking at a blizzard from inside can be cozy, but still...

  13. That does sound exciting but only because I get to experience it through you LOL It's a warm 71 here - which makes looking at your snow pics even better.

  14. Love your Christmas decorations. Enjoy you blizzard. We are in the middle of one here in Southern New Hampshire and the kids have a snow day, but yours sounds like it will be worse than ours. I hope you have stocked up on hot chocolate!

  15. What beautiful shots! I'm just 'learning' how to take pictures in the winter, so I am glad that I got to see your representation of it! Lovely job! I, too, am part of the country's blizzard right now. I live in Iowa, and, basically, the entire state is shut down! It's pretty nasty right now, but at least I know some lovely pictures can result from it. :) Happy WW!

  17. Your pictures are beautiful but, brrrrr, just the thought of a blizzard. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, where the high today is 59 degrees. I can appreciate the beauty of a snowstorm but I sure don't miss driving on the slick black ice. Thanks for sharing your photos!

  21. Snow if fun, Lots of snow is really fun - but blizzards are dangerous.
    I've survived two and have very scary memories. Falling trees, damaging winds, loss of power and heat, broken water pipes and water mains.

    Pity and pray for all the folks who have to drive to work in hospitals and nursing homes and the like.
    Hopefully the winds will not be too damaging and you will be able to stay inside, safe and warm - and don't lose power.

  22. I like your outside decorations! I wish my husband would finish ours. ;) Good luck with the potential blizzard. I hope you don't lose power. We had bad winds and now snow and lost power for over 8 hours yesterday.....

  23. Quit terrifying me with evil bird pictures will you? We got 14 inches, what did y'all get? I almost crashed my new (ish) car at a stop sign just as I was saying how well it handled last night.

  24. It hit us last night, hope everyone stays safe in your neck of the woods..

  28. I love the lighted Christmas decors covered in snow! But my face is the first photo - the apple. I feel like Snow White being tempted to bite that delicious apple:)
