Fragile Things
Short Story
She knew the weather is bad, but she was determined to venture out to the bodega, to get milk, as she had none left. Bundled up, she encountered white out conditions, and soon enough, she got disoriented, and didn’t know where she was. The next morning her son woke up, and his mother was not […]
Winter Quote ~ Ogden Nash
Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snowmen And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty white, The world looks good enough to bite. That’s the season to be young, Catching snowflakes on your tongue. Snow is snowy when it’s snowing, I’m sorry it’s slushy […]

A bit warmer than yesterday, and tomorrow a lot warmer.
Taken Through The Window – Snow Squall
Shortly after 1:00 pm, a snow squall came through, and lasted about 20 minutes. The colder weather will be moving in, along with the wind chill factor.
Spring Redux
Weather people now say that snow storm won’t be as bad as they thought it would. Now they say maybe an inch or two of the white stuff on my part of the commonwealth.
Snow No Snow
Last year nearing the end of February, we had 100 plus inches of snow. In some places there were snow piles higher than a two story building. At this very moment, there is no snow to be found. An El Nino weather pattern will do that in the northeastern part of the US. Maybe next […]

It Is April, Right?
The calendar says it is April 8 Well, it’s 36 degrees and it’s snowing. Come Friday the expected high is supposed to be 65. Just more wacky/weird New England weather to deal with.
Springtime In New England
We all could use a little humor, especially with all the snow that was dumped on us.
Dirty Snow
March 20 is to be the first day of Spring, but here in the Boston area, and doesn’t have the feel of a new season set to begin, as it has and still is windy as all hell, with wind chill factors at times in the teens. Also, there is snow to arrive on Friday, […]

It Doesn’t Make Any Sense
For the past couple of nights, I have seen ads of all things: lawn care. It seems odd to show green grass, flowers, etc., when there is so much damn snow on the ground, and it looks like it will be here for quite awhile. By the way, we’re expecting another inch to three inches […]
I Read On …..
I read on boston.com the snow that is still on the ground with the exception of the real tall mounds of it, should be melted and gone between March 25 and April 3. Then dear Agnes, it will all be just a memory.
Just A Thought
With all the snow in the past three weeks, which was a good amount, there is one way and the best way of looking at it, Laugh! No sense in getting all bent out of shape, as it won’t do you any good. Besides, its Winter! Enjoy it, maybe next Winter will be one of […]

More Snow On The Way
February 2 is Groundhog Day How many groundhogs will see their shadows? As far as living in Massachusetts, more snow is predicted for Monday. Talk is, 6-10″, 6-12″, 10-12″, 12″ plus. Snow is good for skiers and snow boarders, but not so much for drivers, shovelers, pedestrians, etc. I say just grin and bare it, […]

January
January can be: cold, frigid, blustery, snowy. January can be: sunny, windy, blustery, calm. January can be: time to bundle up, dress in layers. January can be: a cruel month, with short days and longer nights. January can be: some of the above, or all of the above. A Pondering Mind

Snow is white. When it melts, it’s colorless drops of water. —— A Pondering Mind 9/20/2014
Side Walk Covered With Snow
The side walk is covered with a layer of snow. This was taken this morning (2/19/14). We got more snow in the afternoon, before it changed to a light mist of rain.
Tire Track
While I was standing outside, during the middle of the afternoon, I took my phone out and was going to a photo of the snow covering the yews. When I looked to see how that pic came out, I saw this photo of the tire track and the curb to the left of it. The […]
Mother Nature
It seems that mother nature has a problem. The problem is, she must have a very itchy scalp. With all the dandruff falling from the sky above, it looks like she needs a good shampooing, with a good rinsing. Then a apply some conditioning, then rinse and repeat. Now, all this dandruff is landing on […]
Shadow
Late morning shot of the shadow created by the lamp post.
Snow
Its been snowing here for the good part of the morning, and you can see the building’s maintenance man, snow blowing the sidewalk. He will be at this throughout the day, as the storm will not be over till sometime later this afternoon.
Winter
From my email inbox:I’m sure there are few people out there, that feel this way about winter…
Where the hell ….

Wet Snow Day
Got about two inches of heavy, wet snow. It was in the mid 30s F, so that isn’t to bad. The colder weather will be here, come Tuesday. Click on image to enlarge it.Source of quote
Cemetery on the NH – Mass Border
Before entering the supermarket, I took a couple of photos. The first one, is a photo of a cemetery in New Hampshire, which is right near the Mass border on the left side of the photo.The photo below is left of the one above.
Dusting Of Snow On Hedges
Got about an inch or two of snow today, more or less of a nuisance. Warmer weather is to be here for the weekend, and Monday.

This one is in black & white.
The Lights Are On
This is a photo I snapped this past Thursday, but I was too damn lazy to post it. This was taken shortly after sunset, which is 4:13 pm. With that said, there lies the reason of the lights turning on so early.
Snow Covered Park
On my daily walk this morning, I decided to cut through the local park, as the walking was kind of on the treacherous side. Lots of icy spots. I only took this one photo, and it does have a Zen look to it.
Light Snow Falling
A View Through The Balcony Window
Two photos of rooftops and grounds covered with a coating of snow. Not much of an accumulation, as it went from snow, to sleet, back to snow, then a light mist.

After The Snow Storm Photos
Took these mid-morning, and the snow does look nice, but the wind is making it feel like 16F.
Snow Photo
A photo I took while I was standing outside, getting some air. I took three of them, but this one I preferred, as the other two came out a bit blurry. May post them later or tomorrow, and yous can decide about the clarity of them.

Winter Solstice
Today, December 21, begins the first official day of winter. It is also the shortest day of the year, day light wise. As the days start getting longer again, we will have one extra second of day light beginning Wednesday, and as the days go by, gradually the sun will be rising earlier, and setting […]
