Lovely to look at Kim but I guess a darn nuisance if you have to live with it. If you do have to go out in it, stay safe.
-
Thanks jd will do but if its like that or worse and they dont salt the roads we wont be going anywhere.. Too dangerous as you cant see the road or where it ends or ditches etc.. Not to mrntion the sliding if you hit ice underneath
Its enough of an adventure just getting wood for the fire on the side of the house lol
-
How beautiful Kim, but a real pain all the same! :)
-
Today its beautiful tomorrow if it continues yes will become a pain but enjoying the pretty side of snow for the moment... The kids will want to go outside snd play in it once the snowing eventually stops.... Boohoooo lol
-
Kim, thanks for the lovely photo. Stay warm and enjoy looking at it from inside.
-
Lovely and warm thsnks chookie but am feeling fir the homeless at the moment... Must be horrific.. Just praying thy all find shelter
-

Frozzie = these photos are gorgeous = it looks so pristine . . and they'll certainly have a special place in your memories/. but I do know what snow is like in towns and cities - so please take care and let's hope this big freeze comes to an end soon . . . .
-
Those pictures are absolutely beautiful. I love looking at pictures of snow but I'm definitely a sun,surf and sand girl. 🏄☀
-
just makes me want to go to France even more
-
That does look so pretty Frozzie (frozen Frozzie). I loved it when it snowed where we used to live it was such an amazing sight (only happens every few years ) it was here one day and completely gone the next. But I did get some wonderful photos.
-
Lovely photos Frozzie.
-
Here's another pic for you snowphiles... it's melting pretty fast here so I think it was a one-day wonder :( :(
-
when was that photo taken Katya ?

The snow on our house this morning. :)
-
Not melting here katya but it has finally stopped snowing!
-
Fundj - it was taken in our garden this morning.
Lovely picture CC - you seem to have more than us. Not that it is a competition ;D ;D
Frozzie - hope your thaw comes soon. I am hoping that it doesn't freeze over too much here tonight as it could be treacherous tomorrow.
-
Lovely cc 😊 and you ventured out to take that photo lol...brave girl
I have only been out with my boots to gt some wood this morning... Even the dogs are in the garage as they dont want to be out!
-
Katya thats what im a bit worried sbout ... School early tomorrow morning and docs appts etc...worst case we dont go anywhere and stay home... Our car doesnt lke the snowvas keeps trying to correct and you need to drive and keep turning of esp.. Not my idea of fun lol
-

I went for my usual morning dog walk this morning Frozzie. :D Off again later for the afternoon one ;D
-
Love your house CC.
-
Must be in the blood... My aussie roots and freezing cold just dont mix lol
-
it has been so hot here lately, that we find it hard not to love your picture postcards of snow ;D loving walking in the freezer aisle at the supermarket ATM
-
I can understand that too cp just one thing i have always struggled with living in europe is the cold brrrrr however a positive part of the cold is wood fires (damn i love that smell!! ) and snow is pretty just not practical
Cc your poor dog lol... Crazy crazy woman !!
-
I miss the snow. I loved the snow when I lived in New York. I hated it when it melted though. I still like a wood fire and it does get cold enough here for one in the winter.

The snow on our house this morning. :)
I love your house Cornish, picture perfect. :D
-
It was DD2's first experience of snow that she was aware of today. She looked out wide eyed and said 'ooh. Wow!'. 😃. We took the girls sledding and they loved it. Snow is so much more fun when you have kids, isn't it?
-
For those of you who love snow, this is our back garden last year....
-
Thanks for the nice comments everyone. :)
Thank goodness it has started to thaw.Hopefully it won't freeze tonight otherwise it will be like a skating rink tomorrow.

We're at day two of our ski hols in porte du soleil. Max today was -16 C. Needless to say we didn't ski the whole day. Trying to upload photos with tapatalk, in the hope that it's easier!
-
Ok, it didn't work. I might try again later after I start the chicken soup. In the thermomix, of course.
I always have problems with uploading photos!

Sorry, you have to stand on your head to view this, but it works by installing directly from the gallery on my tablet! stoked!

Now that's cold! :o

The first photo is one of the chalets just behind us, taken this morning, and the second one was taken at sunset about 15 minutes ago from the front of the chalet.
-
Stunning sky, Cheryl.
I always loved that first fall of snow but hated it once it froze over - truly treacherous to walk on. All those photos manage to cool us down a bit during our summer here.
-
Gorgeous photos but stay warm and safe everyone!
Also, next time my kids complain about how cold they are when I walk through the freezer section in the supermarket I am going to show them these photos, even though they love going skiing provided they have about 10 layers on!
-
This afternoon the kids and i went and threw some snow around... The kids had a ball as they love playing in the snow and i guess who doent lol but im still not looking forward to tomorow... Driving in it and probable icy nightmare..we will see in a few hours...
-
Oh and cheryl lovely photos

I definitely don't miss the snow! Had my share of freezing days, icy roads and sludge when the snow starts melting... without counting frozen feet, even in snow boots! Much prefer aussie winters :)
Kim take care on the road. Hopefully your "mairie" is efficient and roads are getting cleared, salted/ sanded.
-
Loving all the snowy pics.
Just seen on the news heathrow is running at 50%, cant believe it snows every year but London never seems prepared.
CC love your house.

-
Frozzie, what a beautiful place you live in!
-
Thank you all so much for the photos, they are truly beautiful. Certainly picture postcard. CC your house is beautiful.
I have had very little contact with snow. Mainly in Tassie and round New South Wales hills. A bit in New Zealand and that is all. We were lucky enough to see it snow in Tassie once.
-
So sad this morning.. I found out tht this weekend a liitle 8yo boy died after trying to wlk on the iced over lake(well mini lake) in town and fell through... So very sad and makes me a little angry that kids arent more aware of the dangers around water.. Should never have happened ..
On a happier note got dh to the docs and the kids to school this morning with only minimal sliding... Had more trouble getting in nd out of the drive so spent this morning digging it all out and clearing the drive... Who needs a gym!
-
That is so sad Frozzie, my heart breaks every time I hear of things like this. Such a hard hard thing for families to go through. Very very sad.
I'm glad you got to the doctors and the kids to school ok.
-
I cant even imagine dede... So cruel to lose a child nd evn worse from kids being stupid..cant even begin to imagine what his family is going through..
-
That's so sad to hear Kim.
On a lighter note though, it is good to hear you are toning the muscles moving snow, someone has to do it and it obviously it isn't going to be DH for a while. How did he get on at the doctor's today. Any improvement?
-
So jealous, we had a beautiful snowy Xmas a few years ago in the UK.
I am so fed up with this heat.
It looks so pretty where you live Kim and CC your home is beautiful.
Poor little boys family, I couldn't imagine ever getting over something like that.
Kim,hope your DH is on the mend.
-
Good news that you got your family safely to their school and DH to the docs Frozzie but what sad news about the little boy.
-
Jd dh is a little better.. Physio is definately helping but still a hole lot o bed rest and three more weeks off.. Still cant be up for more than 10 mins and no sitting plus He is getting very fed up though with being in bed :(((( wont kill him though... Rest rest and more rest
Wasnt fun digging out the drive alone... Def starting to appreciate dh alot more than i did lol
-
My DH knows all about a bad back ( sure I read somewhere that you DH had a bad back) my DH had 3 months off work with a squashed vertebrae. He was using 2 walking sticks to be able to walk just a short distance. Was horrible for him. He end up changing jobs to something not involving so much physical lifting. It almost broke us and took us months to catch up.
Hope your DH gets better soon and takes it easy.
-
Thanks dede... Yes he has a herniated disc so its going o take time... Thankfully for the moment no probs with his income.. Just a slight cutback first month as over here you lose first three days of salsry when sick... Think its to deter throwing a sickie but other than that its all good but its the not knowing how long its going to to take until he gets better...
-
Frozzie, what a beautiful place you live in!
Thx snappy

Def with you there carine... Im not loving the ice and snow... Good for about 5 mins then the amusement wears off... On the way home from school a large van slid off the road and into the large fausse (dip/drain on the side of te road) and two hours layer they are still trying to get i out... Truck just arrived after the tractor failed... The fun of icy roads ...
-
Frozzie I am pleased to read that your DH has shown some improvement. Obviously snow has lots of drawbacks. I think I'll stick with the heat.
Reading about the little boy on the lake was so sad. :'(
-
;D I love the snow photos. Frozzie its amazing.
CC love your house.
All we have is sun, heat and rain.

SNOW..
Lovely to look at,
Nice to hold.
But if you live in it.
It to .... cold ;)
-
Gosh there really is a serene beauty in all these photos! Something that would be very unique to experience as well. :)
I'm so sorry to hear about the young lad Frozzie. So unfair. :( :(
Sometimes I curse the humidity but I think I'd struggle to live anywhere it snowed like that! :-\
-
Cookie, you've turned into a rose - how fitting :-* :-*
-
This morning still icy roads... Always an adventure.. Suspension is not orking as the liquid is frozen lol and had troubke starting off this morning...car didnt want to behave... Finally got going slowly but steadily .. Its a lovely minus 8 and sunny here this morning lol.. However its quite pretty with the sun as it looks like there are crystals glustening all over the place...
Thx cookie for dh .. Slowly but surely 😚
Will post a couple of road photos this morning..
-
Lovely snow photo's, but that's as close as I want to get to snow.
Use to love the snow when I was young, but after moving to warmer climates I now hate being cold.
I do remember it snowing one Christmas day in Hobart many many years ago, and it was summer.
Fozzie good to hear that your DH's back is improving, not long after DS3 was born, I suffered with squashed vertebrae couldn't walk, couldn't sit, its was very hard on us all, I know how he must be feeling.
-
Thanks to all the NH's (Nthern Hemisphere) lovelies for sharing your present climate with us - beautiful photos but I am hopeless at functioning in such conditions. We were in NY 2 yrs ago and were snowed in - needed to change flights etc!!! The sauna type conditions in Rocky yesterday after arriving back from Sydney were a bit difficult to capture through the camera lens and there was no beauty to be seen :D :D
-
Let's hope this weather improves soon. It's -22 C outside our window now. Apparently the "Bise Noire" is due to a high pressure system over Denmark, and a low pressure system in Greece. This doesn't happen too often, but when it does, this causes cold wind from Russia to blow towards the west.
Skiing today was pretty horrible, as was yesterday. I'm on vacation, so I might post some photos soon on my blog. I brought my TM along with us to ski, and I've been busy cooking. I've been so busy with my experiments that I haven't had time to do much on the blog. But I have sold quite a few TM's in the last few months and had lots of fun in the process!

P.S. Here's a link to a blog on this ski area that I posted for friends, family and fellow travellers/skiers (written in 2008). We've been coming back here for the last 4 years, it's a fantastic ski area.
