Sitting in the snow globe, what we call our screened back room, looking at the first snow of the season.

It's actually rather nice out there on the coldest days once we get the heaters going
 
Sometimes it can be hard telling what time of year it is by the conditions experienced so far?
This year Mother Nature's been fiddling with the thermostat quite a bit.

Isn't that the truth, forecasting 57 on Saturday.

Weather forecast seems to be bouncing all over the place especially in northern climates trying to balance things out sometimes. Dressing in layers can only help so much. Don't mind the snow so much or even the cold, it's the ice or chance of it created by seemingly constant raising, lowering temps and mixed rain, snow that's usually the culprit. Icy covered trees are gorgeous to look in an ice covered landscape but can be treacherous trying to live in. Icy covered trees can rival the beauty of fall's many multicolored leaves, but the other type of fall can be a bit concerning at times. Fall, winter? Both are sometimes more enjoyable looking at pics and through windows panes in the safety and warmth of a home.
 
I like screened porches.

I don;t mind the winter conditions, since it comes with the territory. After a few preview of coming attractions down low in Nov. we got out first serious snow this week. I put my "snows" on on Monday which was out last dry day. Hope to get a good snow pack up high for the next few months.

Hopefully, about 3 months of this down low ....

And more into late spring up high since it's needed to knock down our drought conditions, and recharge the Mtns for next years water needs.

At least the latest weather predictions are for below av temps & above av. moisture in my AOPs.

The problem are the idiots (especially newcomers) that still think they can drive like it's July when the roads are too greasy for that. And like a NASCAR race one just waits for the inevitable crashs.
 
Nice a relaxing picture we were in Florida for a month beautiful weather shorts tshirt and we come back to California it’s 40 /50 here still getting use to it ha ha

Nice... I built the screened room because my wife is very allergic to mosquito bites. This allows her to sit out at night in summer and watch the fireflies.

I worked in a body shop while going to college. Biggest days of the year were the first snowfall, or a snowfall after a period without one.

Do you have sliding or removeable glass panels to make that room all-weather?

Thanks, Gorgeous pic!
On the snowfall, we all need the water. I tend to think of Earth as a humongous cyclic aquarium with various filtration systems. Some may complain or not see the big picture about snow, swamps, sand or mud, but it's all needed for the planet to continue thriving.

Yah on some drivers thinking they can continue driving the same all year long with various seasons and conditions. - Can get spooky sometimes. In some ways wish we all went back to horses, buggies and carts. There's advantages and disadvantages of driving or traveling in most conditions and some fun stuff mixed in there too with the possible dangers.

Is a good time and place for most of it with different limitations and advantages and sometimes not so much in crowded conditions. Can't rollerskate in a buffalo herd?

Removable, including two doors I switch out, one screen one glass. I think it took me about 30 minutes to get ready for winter this year. Cordless drill is the greatest tool ever lol.

The problem here in Virginia is that the leaves are still hanging to trees making leaf cleanup problematic. It's really disheartening to spend a day getting up leaves and the next morning you have to start over.
