Wolfgang Prigge from Granby, Québec, Canada
C'est comme ça ce matin à Granby, mais la météo annonce de la pluie pour le reste de la journée. Un gros changement avec la Tunisie, mais on est au Canada après tout, et un peu de neige nous arrête pas, n'est-pas?
20 Nov 2007 12:27pm
@Wolfgang Prigge: C'est si beau :) la nuit derniere nous avons eu de la pluie, pluie verglacante, un petit de neige, maintenant il pleut et plus tard ce sera plutot de la neige fondante...Ho Canada! LOL Merci Bien
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
As Jimmy Buffett sings down in the tropics, "The weather is here, wish you were beautiful..." Well, this is beautiful; I love snow too, but when we used to live where it snows I had a shorter tolerance period -- usually to only the end of December. Come mid-January, I'm really, really ready for Spring to spring. That being said, I've honestly missed snow since we moved from KY (snowed a lot) to GA (it snowed measurably only once in 5 years) and now FL (snow, only if hell freezes over)...
20 Nov 2007 12:41pm
@Viewfinder: Hi VF, I can't imagine having no snow at Christmas, but take heart, you will be able to view snow photos right here until you get fed up with them LOL
Walt from Scarborough, Canada

Beautiful Lorraine! - I love the composition esp. with that little splodge of red sign in amongst all the black white and grey.

A wonderful Christmas card. Such a beautiful scene. Having had grown up on the north I have missed the snow this year. This image will certainly satisfy the urge. A beautiful capture.
