Picture-A-Week-2015 - Week 05

Pictures taken between Monday, January 26 and Sunday, February 1.

Pictures were taken yesterday when we had 8 inches of snow. By this morning we had 11 inches of heavy, wet snow. We missed the Blizzard.

Brrrrrrrrrrr - Man, I don't think I could deal with that for very long!

This is nothing compared to what we had in February 2010 when we got 72 inches in 24 hours and then a day later we got another 25 inches. We had major damage to our house -- thousands of $$$$$$. Also cost us a cruise.

We had insurance but they would not pay off -- they claimed that as long as we had 1 room in the house to live in, take the cruise. I other words we were suppose to just walk away with a roof partially collapsed, melted snow pouring into the house damaging several rooms. Our TA and another friend who was a TA in Arizona checked through dozens of policies and they all had the same reason for not paying off.

Great shots of the snow. You have flower pot "mushrooms". But that heavy wet snow can be really bad if you get too much of it.

We missed most of the snow, but did get a couple of shots when I was out walking the dog yesterday. It's very cold here, so the snow is light and fluffy ... no wet stuff and the ponds are frozen solid.

love the snow photos and I like it much better seeing it in photos than getting snow myself. So glad we didn't get the blizzard they were reporting. :eek:

From clear and warm to cool and rainy, January ended with some dreary days with the exception of this one remarkable sunset.

I'm jealous of the snow pics - haven't seen snow myself in about 11 years. I actually miss it!

Nice sunset colors there Dave. I love when storms and clouds mix with sunset - makes it more dramatic!

My January 26th was green and clean - spent at Disney World. Magic Kingdom by day:

And Epcot by night:

If this was the 31st, we flew in to Orange County through it. It was gorgeous from above the clouds too.

It was the 29th. The next two days had pretty nice sunsets but none as striking as this from our point of view...and timing on my part. :)

Both gorgeous sunsets.

Great pictures -- love those train rides around the park.

Lots of precipitation here too - but as LOTS of rain

Running waterfall in the middle of summer

Smudged 'make-up' on the lilies

And hazardous beach conditions (although not directly connected to the rain)
