Still snowing, Diane?

It's snowing here at the moment---although I'm pretty sure it's not up to Canadian standards. Are the moose still messing your moss?

We only had about a foot of snow covering this winter so the moose didn't hang out at our place. We have about 4 to 6 inches left but the driveways are getting dry and it's pretty clear in the sidewalks in town. Not outdoor Easter egg hunting weather.

We have blue skys and sunny - a couple of more weeks of this and it will seem like spring.  ;D

There wasn't even enough snow here to fill up a Beau Peep mug.

Unbelievably, we only had one flake... and it stuck to my nose. I was on the way to the Bute Museum to record it, but by the time I got there, my body heat had caused it to melt, so it merely resembled a drop of rain. I figured that this would be of little interest to the custodians of the aforementioned Bute Museum's collection of various artifacts, so proceeded to a local hostelry to plan my journey home.
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

Snow is unknown here in Queensland, though there is a snow season down south in the hinterland between Melbourne and Sydney (a region known as the Australian Alps!)

I miss the snow, not that I was one to go out in it. I was more of a bystander, one who appreciated it from the comfort of a warm hearth, than a tobogganer.

I put that down to my Scottish upbringing. Even when I lived in Germany we were shod in wellies, not the ideal snow wear. The local kids were kitted out like alpine rescue teams, with thick woollen socks, sturdy snow boots and crampons. They were roped together and that was just for the walk to school.
