blogfest theme this week is:
FROSTY
My best “frosty” photos were used for last month’s WHITE Challenge, so I braved the elements on Saturday afternoon (Feb. 15), to take some pics around town.
It’s been a long, cold winter!

I’m sorry, Debbie, I’ve been away from decent internet all day. I remember reading your post but I must have not been able to comment. Anyhow, despite your dislike for the white stuff, your pics are beautiful! Snow makes everything look pretty, then melts and turns everything gray and brown! Have a great week!
Hi Terri, no worries. You did leave a comment on Sunday. (See screenshot below.) I hope this comment form isn’t being temperamental! 😕 Please let me know if you get an error message! Sure, the snow looks pretty for a while, but it’s more than we’ve had in years, and I’m worried about flooding when it all melts! 😬 Glad you enjoyed the photos, though. Thanks! 🙂
Oh, I see that. Lol. I think I meant to see if it would stick then come back. Let’s hope you don’t get flooding. More snow for us tomorrow then a weird warm up.
Listened to the music…excellent . The first lady sounds like Janis Joplin but it’s not. Am i right? She has a great voice
Glad you enjoyed the music, Birgit. 😎 The first singer is actually a man, named Tom Keifer. You’re right – he does sound a bit like Janis Joplin. 🙂

wow That is a lot of snow! Sure hope that’s the last of it for the season. 🙂
Sure is! It’s more snow than we’ve had in years and apparently, there’s more to come this week. 😱🥶 Thanks for coming by! 🙂
I’m sooo thankful we don’t have to battle the kind of snowy winters that y’all do. The cold is bad enough and as I mentioned, Old Man Winter is making another stand in our parts. Just west of us heavy snow is moving into the Nashville area which is headed our way over night. We’re forecast to get 3″. That’s a big deal for the south as you know. I’m more than ready for spring. Your pictures capture the beauty of winter and applaud you for braving the chilly temperatures to share them with us. I enjoyed your song picks. I, especially liked Cinderella’s music arrangement. I think “Long Cold Winter” would make a fabulous instrumental piece. Thanks for joining the 4M party. Have a boogietastic week, Debbie! xo
Cathy, we haven’t seen THIS MUCH snow in years and we sure don’t like it! 😱 Last winter, there was practically no snow at all. The southern U.S. has apparently been much colder than usual. A blogging buddy in Dallas, Texas, mentioned they had snow too. Glad you enjoyed the music! 🙂 I agree – Long Cold Winter would be good as an instrumental. I found a karaoke track for it: Thanks for hosting the 4M party! 🙂
I’ll listen to the music tomorrow when I’m at work. We sure did get a dumping of snow! I wanted to walk in it yesterday, but my hubby was too concerned for me.today I went for a short walk since I’m in pain and it was really nice. By the time I got all my get up, I felt like a kid when my mom made sure no snow could get in. If I fell, I would not know how to get up
Haven’t seen this much snow in years! 😱 So sorry, you’re in pain, Birgit. I hope you feel better soon. I hate that whole getting dressed to go outside in winter routine! 😝 Summer is SO MUCH better. Throw on your flip-flops and go…😉
I am so wanting spring to come. Perfect musical selections for a day of cold temperatures and high wind gusts. I was not familiar with the Cinderella song. Alana ramblinwitham
Yes, we are totally sick of winter here, as it has been one of the worst in a long time! 🥶 I’m glad you enjoyed the music, Alana. Thanks for coming by. 🙂
Nice music and that is a lot of snow. Something we don’t see.
Thanks, Patrick! 🙂 We haven’t had this much snow in years. I didn’t miss it. 😆
That looks like a real Winter, Debbie. Granny only remembers these Winter’s when she was a little girl. We haven’t had icecycles in years in our Country…thank Cat😹❄️Great songs, we’re big fan of Rolling Stones and like this song very much, the video too😸Double Pawkisses for a Warm Week ahead🐾😽💞
It’s much too real for my liking! 😱😆 We haven’t had this much snow all at once in years and it’s going to be a colossal mess when it melts. 😲 I’m glad you enjoyed the music. Thanks for coming by! 🙂
Shiver me timbers!
That’s for sure! 😱😆 Thanks for dropping in, Glyn.
The photos and video made me feel cold just looking at them. Since we have lived in the countryside (2012) we have only had two winters that bad, and the last one was in 2021. Luckily, it didn’t last too long.
Best wishes, Pete.
Imagine being here, Pete! 😱 We haven’t had this much snow in years and it’s below seasonal temperature-wise as well. I imagine you’ll be experiencing spring before long. When I lived in Germany, the crocuses started blooming in February.
We have Snowdrops in the back garden.
Your photos are amazing! Zoey is so adorable. I love her. 🙂
Thank you, Kymber! 🙂 Zoey is our baby. 🥰
She is so sweet! I love dogs so much. 🌼🌷
Hi Debby … way too cold!! So glad I’m here … looks beautiful … but!!! Cheers H xo
Way too cold for me too. 🥶 This winter is brutal! Last year, we didn’t get any snow at all. Glad you enjoyed the photos. Thanks, Hilary! 🙂
Your frosty winter scenes are a delightful escape for those of us in the tropics!
Love the stunning photos, Debbie.
I would love to be in the tropics right now, Veronica. Let’s trade! 😀 Glad you enjoyed the photos.
That looks a bit cold for my taste. I’m out here shivering with temps in the 50 degrees F. It sure is pretty to look at though.
Lee
I’m sure you wouldn’t like it, Lee! 🙂 My mother, who lived in San Diego, would start complaining if the temperature dipped below 65. Glad you liked the photos.
I’ll bet Zoey loves the snow. That’s one thing I regret about living in Texas, our dogs very rarely have had the chance to experience snow. But I can understand that you are sick of it. As usual your photos are great.
I’m in Texas, too, and omg, our wee dogs HATED the snow we had last month! There was a lot of drama.
Our Zoey, who’s about 42 lbs., isn’t thrilled about it either! 😆 I can imagine little dogs would hate it, especially if it’s deep.
Haha! Zoey is from Kentucky, where it’s not so cold, and she’s less than thrilled with snow. 😆 We have to coax her to go into the yard. Glad you enjoyed the photos. Thanks, Thomas! 🙂
It sure looks a lot like Christmas, er Winter…wow, lots of snow, Debbie! Gorgeous frosty photos! The songs are perfect too!
Oh yeah, it’s winter all right! 😝 Glad you enjoyed the photos and the music. Thanks, Terri! 🙂
I like all your neighborhood and local park pictures Debbie and especially the very snowy ones you had at the end, where it does look pretty, if you could just look at it and not have to shovel it, or in your case, use the snowblower to clear it. I think we got soft with all the recent warmer Winters with hardly any snow. Like you, I can’t remember the last time we got this much snow, plus got walloped multiple times in one week. Mother Nature showed us who is boss in Winter.
Thanks, Linda! 🙂 You’re right, we’ve been spoiled the last few years. Last winter was SO easy. Sigh…
Let’s cross our fingers for next Winter to be like those other ones!
Great photos. Loved the Stones’ “Winter.” Something else would fit the mood: The Mamas and the Poppas’ “California Dreamin’.”
Thanks, Barb! 🙂 That is a great song choice and I love California. My parents lived in San Diego for many years.
P.S. I just read your post about making California a province! No provision to comment there, so I’ll do it here. I LOVE California and support this idea wholeheartedly! 😀 My parents lived in San Diego for decades and it was my second home. Happy (belated) Flag Day! 🍁
I love snow when it’s deep and white like it is in your photos, Debbie. It’s not practical, I know but it looks so beautiful. Excellent photos!
Lovely to look at from inside, but the cold is hard to take. And just ask my husband how much he enjoys shovelling it! 😉 Wish I could help more, but my arthritis makes it difficult… Glad you enjoyed the photos, Cathy! 🙂 Thanks for coming by.
