Blizzards are similar, but not always.
This was very different
and was very nasty.
but you know in this blogger
the end comes first.
This is the next day
when the sun is shining already
and the sky looks blue
like never before.
drift did not get to it.
It was extraordinary
what was producing in the night
and still 2 more days to blow
the fury
what she got.
but on the yew bush
in front of the window.

I was watching the "ac cu weather..." days before.
It was something big coming
from the South
up on the East Coast of USA.
That is good, because brings warm air.
But at the same time
a brutal wind got into the show
from the NW ( north west)
That was a very bad news. bad news.
Gusting 40-50-60 mi
is brutal when the snow
is coming down 2-3 inches per hour!
I live 25 mi East of NYC
and got a major blast
during the night.
Fortunately help came to dig me out.
First I could not even open the kitchen door
because a mountain was placed there
during the night.
So the rescue started there
and than dig a path
down to the street and
also clean up my car.
No need to tell:
handsome money for the young man!
Hope you are keeping warm and well fed! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kadeeae! If your kitchen would be closer I certainly would not have to worry about fine food.
ReplyDeleteWish you a very happy New Year, lot of fun and many happy days! Love/hugs: Julia/Blue bird :)
I heard about the blizzard on the news and was wondering how you were doing! Glad you are ok. the photos are beautiful, thank you for sharing them with us. Hope you can stay warm and cosy and admire the snow indoors!
ReplyDeleteThank you All. It's OK, it is amazing how we got over this bad storm.The wind was devastating. Built such "mountains" that the big train engines could not pass. 3 days was no train from my place 25 mi to NYC.
ReplyDeleteThank God the temp. did not sink, but went up and today is enjoyable sunshine and melting the tremndous snow piles. Couple of warm and dry days coming. That is a friendly Hello to the New Year 2011. Happy New Year to all my blogger friends! Love/hug: Julia/bb :)
I think the whole world at the momement is experiencing chaotic and catastrophic weather systems. At least you were safe and survived the blizzard. Stoke up the fire and celebrate the New Year indoors keeping warm. And a happy new year too
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Andrew! And it is just unbelievable how warm got suddenly with bright sunshine the temp way: up the snow is melting rapidly, nice and calm no wind. It is true: a total chaos: to the better to the worst!
ReplyDeleteNobody knows anything anymore!
Only the pocketbook knows where the money went.:)))))))))))))The clean up cost, the loss of business for days, lack of transportation:
sleeping days on the floor in airports.!
But Happy New Year anyway! Julia/ blue bird:)))))))))))))))))))
Heisann!
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures, Blue Bird!
A big new year's hug from me to you:
