Welcome to Snowpocalypse 2015-16, y'all!

[Sir Slash]

Stop posting these pics! You're causing my wife to want to go north dammit.

uuugg, just ventured outside to check/clear our heat pump.  That wind/snow is brutal.  We've got 3-4 foot snow drifts all around the house...and of course directly in front of the garage doors

Yeah, the wind is really starting to pick up now!

It is no joke out here right now- it is snowing HARD!   >:(

You can't tell, obviously, but the ocean is just beyond that last tree.

Uggs in their natural habitat?

Warm, stylish feet are the key to happiness.

Here is the view outside my window.

Just before the snow started getting heavier I went out and filled the bird feeders so I wouldn't have to do it later or tomorrow morning. Well, I just checked out back and a huge flock of Grackles had come from gods-know-where and pounced on the full feeders. They were just about empty by the time I shooed away the marauders. Now the flock is sitting in the trees watching as the cardinals and finches and whatnot I was trying to feed are sadly pecking away at empty feeders.

5 min later- A huge explosion of black feathers as a hawk perches on a tree near my house. Those pesky Grackles were outta the neighborhood faster than a bunch of juvies scattering from a broken store window when a cop car roles by!

[Sir Slash]

Love it. Can't stand Grackles--- the Un-assimilated Syrian Rugees of the Bird World.

First time playing in snow?

[MetalDog]

Exactly my thought!  Pure joy :)

The kid looks happy too.

It is wonderful stuff if you don't need to shovel it or drive in it. Both items on my list of things not to have to do when I retire.
