Convenience

I do believe this is a Jersey thing, especially in these parts. I was always a 7/11 gal myself but Mom has always been all about the Welsh Farms. They do have Yummy vanilla bean ice cream, I'll give them that!

Wednesday - Oh what a mess!


Thursday - Don't judge snow by it's cover! That's more ice than snow!


Friday


With feeling a tad under the weather still from this head cold, I duplicated the slide shows from Diggin' Around here until I narrow down my faves to post.

Snow-mageddon The 2nd, Jersey Style

We survived this latest round from Old Man Winter (which was worse than the last) and are already looking towards the next round slated for Monday into Tuesday (groan). I love snow more than most people you know But when most of what falls out of 16"s is Ice, loving it I'm not so much. During the 30 or so hours it precipitated, I lost track of how many times it switched to sleet with a few heavy down pours of rain for good measure. What a Mess! Icicles started hanging off tree branches & power lines by early afternoon yesterday. Very thankfully we didn't lose power! (Others in the immediate area did). We did brownout several times starting around dinner time. What looked like snow this morning was ice in more places than not, like our entire back yard! We're exhausted from headcold's and snow removal. But in all honesty, it could have been worse & we're doing alright all considered. We're born & raised NJeans - this is the stuff of "infamous Jersey Winter's" only we haven't had a Winter like This in roughly more than a decade so we're a little rusty is all. Of course I've got pictures coming! (And yes, I took too many as usual lol!)

The Neighborhood

Our street, on the "dry" side of a tiny coastal NJ town.
Dry meaning we live on the inland side of the highway, not the "wet" side of the highway on the water.
But, the town was originally started as a "dry" community - no booze allowed!

A favorite breakfast/lunch spot.

Snowy Morning

Birds of a Feather

Each morning, these two Turkey Vultures arrive on our chimney to warm themselves.

Neat yet creepy to watch.

Very creepy when it appears as though one of them is staring back at you as you take their picture.

Lovers spat.

The victor! (The other is just out of sight behind the chimney).

Yes, Turkey Vultures. We have quite an enormous lot of them here as there seems to be a roost nearby. About a hundred of them at least. Watching them soar around & around on updrafts of air is mesmerizing and hearing their wings flap as they take off is incredible. (They have Huge wing spans). But they sure are creepy as anything I've ever seen, especially when both wings are fully outstretched as one is perched, warming itself on a chimney or in the sun. I was able to get a few shots of what I presume is the same pair up there on this snowy morning as well. (Coming soon!)
