Winter in the boonies can be very beautiful and sometime can be cruel. It is beautiful when the ground is covered with snow and the sky is blue. It feels beautiful when it is cold and dry.
It can be cruel, when mother nature decides to drop liquid from the sky on an already frozen air and ground. Then we have ice everywhere. The heavy laden tree branches will snap and powerline will do the same. when powerline are down it will result in no power for at least a week or so. Imagine that in the midst of cold winter, ice, ice everywhere and you have no electricity. For all of us in the boonies, we are ready and prepared. We have generators to run the electricity and we have gasoline stocked up.
We will practically be iced-bound. can't go anywhere, can go down the hill, but not up the hill. We glide from one spot to another. My dogs love to run and glide on the frozen ponds.

talking about ice, I slipped once and broke my ankle and had to be on crutches for 6 weeks! nasib baik hubby (then-boyfriend) was kind enough to come over to my place and helped me move around to class, laundry, etc, etc...
and lucky thing I lived in the dorm :)
Thaqt looks soo cool! Winter is slowly coming here now, in NEw York.
I hated the English winter most of all - London was dreary and miserable, no snow only slush. Am hoping Colorado would bring a different kind of winter ;-)
Mama Rock: Biasa ler jatuh2 ni. My wrist was fractured last winter sebab bedebuk2
Alex: too soon it will be winter again. We usually have our first snow in he fall.
MsJ. Winter here is very different than in the UK. here the air is dry and the sky is always blue after snow fall. Did not like winter in UK, be it in london or Sheffield.
drive carefully...silap haribulan kereta berpusing-pusing atas jalanraya yang licin tu ke ke ke...
