How fortuitous that Alan chose snow for this weekends Sepia Saturday. Does he have some sort of meteorological skill he has not yet shared with us?
My sympathy to those on the East Coast of the United States being buried under snow. I hate to say it, but as a Californian, I do long for a good snowstorm. I used to get my snowstorm fix in the Sierra's when I could often stupidly be found driving over Donner Pass at night during a snowstorm after going out to dinner in Truckee. I was young and incredibly stupid; I will admit that now. At the time all the good looking ski bums were just too hard to resist.
So let's hope the East Coast is soon snow free and not forced to spend days doing as dear Geoffrey is doing.

I'd like my snow flavored with something, perhaps maple syrup but snow doesn't come my way too often.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter in Michigan has commented on the snow they have had on Friday, Here it's nice and sunny. Eating snow is an innocent pastime.
ReplyDeleteI looked up Donner Pass and found it is 7,056 ft above sea level! You wouldn't have met me there under any circumstance. I would rather eat snow :)
ReplyDeleteI hope someone told him not to eat yellow snow!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh. I am reminded of Frank Zappa's great song "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow". I bet Geoffrey heard it from his Mom.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that is what all kids want to do as soon as they see snow for the first time. I remember feeling that myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd here is your seven day forecast for next week : Changeable with plenty of rain and the occasional sunny period. (The sunny periods will coincide with looking at delightful old photos such as yours)
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, my pst has my daughter tasting snow too, It must be what children do.
ReplyDeleteSo many fond memories of snow.
ReplyDeleteWe are seeing more snow in Oklahoma because of the climate changing. It used to be a bit of a dusting every four or five years and a significant fall about once in ten was about it.
I always preferred icicles to snow.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were likely to be cleaner,
untouched by dogs....
:D~

We always ate snow too. My friend's mother made us snow cream. I guess it was ok, but I prefer my snow "raw."
