If you have a picture of what it looks like outside, post it here - largest dimension 400 pixels, please. Here's the view in my backyard at 10:45 EST, 19 F, -7 C.

Gosh Mark, that looks like my recall of lower Michigan, only about 4" for a White Christmas? We had a similarly peaceful scene rite hear in Northeastern Oklahoma a week or so ago, got my exercise shovelling out our driveway, made me think back about Lansing !! Congrats, Don

Thanx, Mark, Don

I could post a pic of what it looks inside - our kitchen sink drain must have had a leak for several days or even weeks. This went unnoticed until yesterday... :-(

For the record, the outside looks quite similar to yours.

we certainly don't have any snow here, i've been surfing 7 out of the last 10 days and confess to having played my clarinet about 4 times in the last two weeks. No gigs until the middle of January! If you want to see what my Xmas looks like, google "Piha New Zealand" and you'll see some great shots.

But what I really wanted to see were pictures taken right outside our homes around the world. So far we only have Canada & the US.

Hi:
Mark, your picture is beautiful. Here in Stockton, California it is just rainy and overcast today. But it is a nice day anyway!

Your backyard looks a lot like mine, except substitute a big black dog looking for the deer, and about the same amount of snow as in Mark's photo.

Can't send a photo, but here (Maidenhead, west of London, a few miles from Heathrow airport) we have a clear blue sky. Temperature is about 6 Celsius, so too cold to swim, too warm to ski. Best go for a walk, else stay in and practise.

If there are so many people on this board unwilling or unable to have a civil and balanced discussion about important issues, then I shan't bother to post here any more.

To the great relief of many of you, no doubt.

This is a picture from my bedroom window. This is Warner Kaserne located in Bamberg, Germany. It just started snowing an hour or so ago. It's 1100 hrs, 34 degrees Fahrenheit, 1 degree Celcius, and you can't see so well in the photo, but it's snowing.

OK, here goes.
1-This was where we were yesterday (out of the flat kitchen window with a zoom to get rid of the buildings lining the street).
2-This is where we were 2 days ago (grandma's place)
3-No photo of today available but started out -3º C when I went to the bus stop with daughter, but fortunately clear skies now. No Bay of Biscay gales lashing us like last week!!

It's not working for you.

Write message, click "Add Attachments", browse to pictures on your machine using one of the "browse" buttons, click "Post".

Only works for jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp, and png picture files (I just added png a moment ago). All other types will not post.

This is my driveway. It's cold, but no snow. We're supposed to get some sleet and possibly some snow later tonight. It's a typical Texas Christmas. We may have 95 degree (F.) weather on Christmas. Actually, I think the forecast is for 70 on Christmas Day. Sorry, no pretty snow pics.

I would have posted a pic of Sandpoint and the Pend O'reille Valley, but then you'd all move here; and I'd have more competition for my (few) gigs.

Merry Holidays, all.

I love you guys and gals.

Thanks for your help Mark, but that's exactly what I did. A few weeks ago I posted pictures (in the bass clarinet convention thread) with no problems. Probably some kind of problem with my internet connection since everyone else seem to have no problems.

GBK, don't be so sure about your drinking water, especially with all the fertilizer you put on that nice green december lawn.

From NY Newsday:

Sewers and intense pumping have lowered the water table by a few feet in Nassau and western Suffolk, diminishing or even eliminating many shallow streams and lakes and causing underground salt water to seep inland deep below the shorelines.

Portions of the shallow and mid-range aquifer system are now so tainted by fertilizers, pesticides, industrial chemicals, gasoline and cesspools that water companies must either treat the water after they pump it up or abandon their shallow wells. Some of that contaminated groundwater also seeps into bays and harbors, contributing to pollution problems offshore.

The aquifer system's ability to renew itself with clean rainwater, meanwhile, has been diminished by the profusion of driveways, roads and parking lots. Drops that once fell directly on soil are now increasingly landing on concrete, where they pick up contaminants before trickling down into the aquifer system. Some of those contaminants can remain in groundwater for hundreds of years as droplets slowly seep downward.

The effects are so far-reaching that the concern over preserving the quality of Long Island's groundwater has become the single most important factor limiting the region's growth.

"...GBK, don't be so sure about your drinking water, especially with all the fertilizer you put on that nice green december lawn..."





Guilty as charged [wink]

The Newsday article is (unfortunately) quite correct about the concern we all have over our (now) pristine drinking water.

Thus the reason that as residents of Eastern Suffolk we are very vocal about preserving the pine barrens (which recharge the Magothy aquifer) by limiting any new building and development...GBK

It's supposed to be near 50 degrees today.

To answer a question about this pic, that is the Olympic Mountains not the Cascades. :o)

Here in Santiago the weather is sunny and hot, temperatures above 30 ºC (86 F) as usual, but is not so hard as the air is very dry indeed.

1st pic: 1/3 of the night-time vista from my dining room window in Aucland, NZ. No stars tonight, because it is overcast.
2nd pic: Another night view from dining room.

67 degrees F outside tonight.
It might go down to 40 on a cold winter's night.
No snow likely, ever!
