Apparently we are in the grips of a polar vortex. It doesn’t take a genius or a meteorologist to know polar vortex equals COLD. My car is telling me this!
“C” is for COLD! Which is just what it is around here.
The icicles hanging precariously from our gutters are another indication.
As COLD as it was, my son broke out the shovel and my husband, the snow blower. Me? I thought supervising – from inside a warm, cozy house – was the smart thing to do.
Cover up, people and stay warm. I hear it’s not over yet.

Dear Bliary 
Warm and cozy is the way to go. Smart choice. I am so over the vortex. I’m even getting tired of hot chocolate.
I’m with you on the vortex, but I haven’t reached that point with the hot chocolate, yet.
we don’t have cold here on the coast but it can get chilly, stay warm amiga
I’m trying! 😉 It ain’t easy!
Summertime NOW! PLLLEEEEEEASE!
I am so with you!
It’s even cold here in Florida, so I can just imagine what you’re going though up there. Gemma. I would also be supervising from inside the house. Great icicle pic! 🙂
I’ve been in my car with the heat on and a pair of gloves and I feel like my fingers are going to fall off. Whoa!
Still, more fortunate than some.
Take care, Sylvia.
Stay warm my friend…..hope it warms up a little bit soon.
Thanks, Cee. Your flowers keep me in a spring state of mind. 😉
That is Cold! Stunning shot of the ice formation. Hear in Texas it feels like Spring in between temperature drop of 30’s. Beautiful pics.
Thanks, Mr. B. Let the sun shine in!!!!
That sure is a lot of snow Gemma and it looks very cold indeed. Here we use leaf blowers but I don’t think it will work for the snow..hehehehe.
Stay warm hon and thanks for sharing these lovely shots. *hugs*
I’ll trade blowing leaves for blowing snow any day. 😉
Thanks, Sonel.
I think I must agree. Never shoveled snow before but it sounds like lots of work. 🙂
It’s back breaking and sadly sometimes dangerous. People have been know to overdue and some have even experienced heart attacks. Sometimes the brain is willing but the body is weak. We need to know our limitations. Hence, my husband with the snowblower, which makes things much safer, and me indoors, which makes me smart!
😉
I bet Gemma and that is way too much work indeed and I agree with the willing brain and not so willing body. Oh, you are the smartest indeed Gemma..heheheheh
Wise beyond my years, dear.
🙂
Oh absolutely! 😆
Oh my, it looks very cold out there. Here in Abu Dhabi we’re reaching up to 8 degrees Celsius only, and it doesn’t snow, yet I’m complaining 😮
Please do take care and stay safe 🙂
I wish I could send you some. I wish I could send it ALL! 😉
I will, indigo. Thanks.
Lovely snow photos Gemma but I guess it is a case of lovely to look at as long as you are warm and cosy…
Yup yup 😉
I don’t think our temps are going over freezing for another whole week, yet! When the storm was about to start on Tuesday, and the temps were diving, our furnace failed. Happily the techs braved the storm to restore our heat, but house was quite cold for much of the storm. Cozy = not. Enough already.
Precisely!
Glad the cavalry got there! Stay safe. 🙂
icicles like swords!
On guard! 😉
Brrr you said it was on its way Gemma ! Love that icicle picture … don’t stand underneath 😉
Understand? The words? Broke out? Is that where I went wrong?
Hope you’re doing a good job on the supervision, Gem. It’s got to be done properly, hasn’t it? It’ll need lots of calories 🙂
Ha! Sadly, they are burning my calories than me, but that’s ok. My back is still in working order!
🙂
