Cliff, this looks so alien.  Where is the snow?  The ice?  The collapsed roofs?

Today's weather forecast is rain. It rained - yesterday evening; today is a scorcher! I just love this country! 8) On Monday we are off touring in a motor home for a week. Fingers crossed the weather holds!

Now some cool would be nice here, but not THAT much cool.  :o ;D

I hope you all survive without too much damage from the weight of snow.  Fingers crossed.

Magnar,
must have been a lot of work to remove all the snow.
I'm happy the snow is gone here already. I need more sun :)

Beautiful images, Sherba and Tom.

Just a few from damp and misty Aysgarth Falls, Skipton Castle and Kilnsey Crags (in the Yorkshire Dales) this afternoon ...

Uh, seriously off topic! This cannot possibly be considered winter!  :o

Clearly some of you have jumped the gun and started spring already, Cliff! ;)
I'm not jealous at all, mind you, we'll have spring too in another 3 or 4 months ;)

I had the feeling I had posted some of these before, but if so, I can't remember where!
Here is what winter really looks like--nothing flowering, no signs of like at all!
These are from January 30, but nothing much has really has changed-since then it has snowed several times, been above freezing then cold in a 4-6 day alternating pattern; when its warm, the paths look less white, then fresh snow cleans things up again...
No, I'm not really trying to move a mountain of snow, the camera was held very low  ;D next shot shows more like real height, though paths are a few inches above the ground..
The album also shows me using a chainsaw  :o something friends in the city surely could never have imagined....
