These are truly amazing videos Janine. I loved the way Brooke danced, she is a cute little doll. Thanks for sharing.
Heathcilff: The photos are really wonderful.
Hey Claes! Thanks for keeping your promise, the pictures are great as ever.
Nice pictures Olga4real.

Nope. There is no room to use a blower at home... unless I aim it at the neighbour. (now, there's an idea

Well.. It is a lot more than usual, but we did not get it all in one go (fortunately). I was in Denmark getting ready to go home when one of the major blizzards of this winter hit: Driving back to Copenhagen was a bit of an adventure as the Danes don't use studded winter tyres. When I finally got there, I got stuck in Kastrup airport for half a day before the flight back to Arlanda Airport, near Stockholm. When I got there all communications were out, so I had to get a room for the night and wait it out until next morning. Then I made my way home via thoroughly disrupted train schedules. When I got back to work I was a day late...

Wow Claes! Those photos are beautiful! I especially love the 'snowling' and the Mistletrush.
@Heathcliff - The middle one is especially nice!
@Olga4real - I'm jealous

TurquoiseSunset, don't be jealous, you will learn to fly and see even more beautiful places. Don't forget to take a camera with you. :-)

Wow, Claes, that is a lot of snow....more than we got here all at once and I thought we got a lot this winter. I love your photos. Those mounds are gigantic. It must have been fun stepping right off of your shed roof onto one. Did you and your daughter go sledding? I can imagine just how disappointed you were to miss a day of work.

You know what? You're right. 
If other South Africans read that comment they will crucify me for saying that anyway
We have a really beautiful country, I should just get off my behind and take some pictures! So I have a crappy camera, but my mom has a nice one (in comparison to mine) and she only ever takes it out when my parents go away on the odd weekend. So I'll high-jack it!
In the mean time, can anyone explain to me how to post photos on this forum? I don't want the photos to display as links though...

The problem is that they are still rather massive, in spite of both thaw, rain and (would you believe it) a thunderstorm the other night. I will have to break them up with a shovel this weekend, or they will still be there well past midsummer.

Um... I was actually... I have too much to do to like missing a day like that, but on the other hand I had the laptop with me.
