yes, that's the périphérique here. i don't know the speed limit though.

The snow was so bad all road were offically closed and only emergency personnel like Pshrynk were permitted to drive... I was out using a meter stick like a sword to chop off snow from plants that were collapsing under the snow load...(Evergreen cedar and juniper type plants...)

wow, crazy.

Great cat story!

Sunny and cold here.

Jeeeezz. So we´re all glad that you safely made it there and back again.

I grew up in Iowa, where it actually snowed more than once a century, so I was the only one on the road at that point. Everyone else had been taught a short, sharp lesson on driving in Texas during a snowstorm. To whit: Don't.

Paris périphérique speed limit is 110 kph if I remember right.

i'll just trust you on that. i've got no idea myself ; i know next to nothing about the traffic laws and i've got no memory for numbers.

We've already got some snow. It's supposed to get to 6-10 inches this weekend.

You got me! Looks like it's happened to you too!

It's a day for mostly staying inside, going for a zoom-y drive in something AWD/4WD (like Wolfie), or heading to the shops.

Marc! ...Shut up!

BTW, This morning it's -18 and I'm doing finishing work with the shop doors opened every time I shoot, with fans circulating the overspray towards the outside. Gh Gh Gh Gh..CCCCColddddddd.

We had more snow! Some of it is still on the ground, too

I would have got pictures when it still all looked pretty, but snuggling back into a warm bed was much more appealing!

More snow expected tonight and tomorrow (which I hope WILL NOT interfere with my visit with my mom-- we plan to get Indian food!) Cold outside and in. I'm huddled up in a quilt right now.

On Canadian Public Radio last night, I heard a very amusing story about longjohns (long underwear pants) being given away to elementary school kids up in White Horse. Our weather is practically tropical in comparison to what they've got up there....

What, you don't wear any?
Hmmm! Are you suicidal?
Go get a pair (if you can find them down there) you would'nt need that quilt.

What station are you talking about?

I just spent the past few hours curled up by the fire reading a book (in my knitted blankie).

You know, that does sound like an awesome idea!

The weather was beautiful here today. Clear skies, temps a few degrees above freezing. So, we decided to go to town (which we don't do too often as we tend to spend much more than we can afford )

Of course I wear them. I'm wearing some right now. (I have silk ones that fit nicely under my jeans for most weather; if it gets colder I have some even warmer ones I can switch to.) But when I'm sitting still, a quilt is still a good idea, as I tend to go into this "power saving" mode where no heat gets sent to my extremities, so I need an envelope to capture core heat and redistribute it to my toes and such.

Well, in fact it was my local New Hampshire Public Radio, re-broadcasting "As It Happens." I think that's a CBC show, but I may have my terms mixed up. The segment about the longjohns was extremely cute, in any case. I've never heard kids get so excited about something that prosaic. Some of the kids chose to wear them on their heads for the math lesson that was immediately to follow.

Currently have clear skies and thick, sparkly frost.
