solarbirdI love snow. Snow roxx0rs. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
annathepiper went out in it and I made a tiny snowelf and we went to the shops and got hot chocolate and fed ducks and had some fresh bread samples, and bought some to bring home for Chicken And Stuff for dinner tonight. There's still a bunch of snow outside too, even if a lot of it has already melted - the ground is still solidly white, but there isn't much left on the trees and bushes anymore.
The bird feeder is the most popular place in the world right now. ^_^
Now we're back home, andrisu made tea, and I'm sitting under a blanket and looking out the windows at the birds and listening to silly comedy shows on NPR. I've got a lot of pictures here, indexed. I really like a bunch of those, though I did no processing on them at all and probably would do a bit if I was posting them one at a time or something.
Oh! And I figured out how to make my digital camera take short movies. No sound, but 320x240 movies, up to 15 seconds each. It's fun! ^_^
Okay, so here's a big picture:
...and I also made a bigger version too.
This hillside shot came out pretty well too:
And this column looks better in snow than it does normally, when it just looks kind of odd:
And three movies! Each one is about 4.7M.
Walking down to the street. There was already a little less snow, it had been falling off the wires by that point. But not much difference. It's been right at freezing all day so far.
On 56th, a little bit down the hill, panning. That's probably only, I dunno, 75 or 100 feet below the house; not a lot of difference from that, I suppose.
Anna feeding ducks down at the shops. Note how much less snow there is down there already - that's almost down to lake-level, and might only be twenty feet or so above the water level. Not sure! But probably 400 feet below the house. It made a real difference. It was noticeably warmer down there.

snow report

Date: 2005-01-10 02:15 am (UTC)Still, they're talking about maybe some more tonight. Seattle's low has just been revised down to -2C, so if anything does fall, it'll likely qualify. Here at the house, we're down to -1C already. So, who knows? Anna takes the bus to work and I take the bus to my studio, so we don't really have to worry about driving, which I'll admit helps. ^_^

I don't get much opportunity to listen to it since most radio reception in this part of erie sucks big time... in fact any reception (even local television) sucks, which is why i broke down and got a dish... was watching some Fawlty Towers on BBC America this afternoon and nearly busted a gut from laughing... too bad the FCC is so damned tight-assed about the content of television shows that we have to rely on the british to keep us amused... I think my next major expenditure will be the FT boxed set on DVD...

The text can be small and faint but should still be legible. Thanks.
