    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 ) I think the average depth came up to roughly a meter/3ft before it started thawing, and my biggest concern was the garden shed roof which started creaking ominously: I had to get up there and shovel it clean, and when I was done I could step right over to the snow heap (step, not jump) and walk down.

    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.

    Okay, so I know it's supposed to be pictures taken by me...these weren't taken by me, but because I live in a lovely region I might take a few of them myself in the future

    So here goes:
