Hi everyone,  well we just got power this morning, lost it Thursday evening.  We had a crazy snow storm, lots of limbs and trees down.   Also power lines down all over.  Some people won't have power till Sunday.  Her are some pics from my street.112_1234tt.jpg112_1239tt.jpg112_1238tt.jpg

Glad you've got power again!! You appreciate it so much when it's out for days....I remember loosing it for 3-4 days and thinking how wonderful it was to make coffee and tea again!!! Boiling water was a big thing !! bear_grin

The poor trees are all set for fall and they get hit with Snow...it's a funny picture when you really look at it. 
I love the snow, but I wouldn't want to rush it...not October snow!

:hug:

What an unusual storm!  I know Thursday I wasn't expecting it.  Went into Kansas City with only a sweater.  I was thinking the afternoon sun would warm things up.  Nope, never. 

But at least we didn't get dumped on with snow and lose our power all at once  bear_sad   Really glad the powers come back for you  bear_thumb

I'm in Rochester and we were insanely lucky... didn't even see a snowflake, though we're right beside Buffalo and the areas that got hit!  I needed to travel to CT for a bear show on Friday, we needed to get on the thruway at exit 45 and head east.  We had no problems at all, but turns out that the thruway was closed from exit 46 and everything west at the time!  As we drove down the interstate, we kept being passed by convoys of repair trucks headed west to Buffalo.  Talk about lucky, we are in glorious fall colors over here and no sight of snow (for now... though that will change soon enough).

Best wishes,
Kelly

WOW! Its snowing here today but I don't think we're expecting THAT!  bear_shocked
As long as the power is okay, I kind of like the snow.
Where we are in Northern Alberta we get lots of sunshine (short days though!) with our snow and somehow that makes it better than lots of grey days.

I'm glad you're okay Kathleen,
Hugs from a snow buddy, :hug:

I'm like Cherly: I love the snow as long as I can stay comfortable....We Minnesotians love our snow and are about ready to skewer the weather person when we don't get it....But the storm in Buffalo was very nasty.....I wouldn't want that!!

I love snow too, but I like my internet,coffee and cable.  My husband asked me on Saturday if I was having TT withdrawal and kept teasing me that I was missing all the lastest in bear news lol.  The weel before this storm hit we were in Florida for a week, sunny and 90 everyday.  We went from one extreme to the other.  The bad weather wasn't a total waste,  worked on my needle felting and started a miniature bear (sewing by hand)  didn't think I'd like sewing everything by hand but it's kinda relaxing . Well back to hauling tree limbs lol. Glad to be back! I missed you guys bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub

If you don't think of the destruction, those last two pictures are gorgeous, Kathleen - would they ever make nice paintings!!!
After seeing that I don't feel quite so bad that it is snowing here today - it is just right around freezing so is pretty much melting as it comes down so I'm sure we won't have much if any accumulation. I am SOOO not ready for winter yet - then again when am I ever !  bear_grin
Glad you have your power back on - that's always the toughest part - I can really sympathize as out here in the country we have power outages a lot - and seems for sure whenever we get heavy wet snow like that !

Im so glad you have power-snow isn't so bad if you aren't worrying about Ben & Jerry  softening in the freezer...

bear_original I think Buffalo is the snow capital of the World! My Dad grew up there, I've been stuck in the airport a gazillion times, and it always seems to have snow at Christmas when Toronto (great white north phooey) doesn't.

I'm sorry you were powerless for so long, Kathleen, but your pix are so beautiful!

When our power goes out, usually in the summer, I make coffee on the barbeque! Any port in a storm . . .

Wow! Without power for 3 days?! Didn't you freeze? You probably didn't stray too far from the fireplace huh?
Can't wait to see your sewn-by-hand bear!
