A snowy evening at Tokyo's Honmon-ji Temple. Pedestrians carrying bamboo umbrellas over their heads walk up a track cleared in the snow by earlier foot traffic. On the left, a tall Japanese pine tree, its branches heavy with snow, stands near a wall running parallel to the path; up ahead, a temple gate opens on a series of wide stone steps, leading up toward the temple grounds. Beyond, tall trees are reduced to silhouettes in the winter gloom. Snow continues to fall across the scene.

I got some trash talk on the ‘toot’ about a Canadian plowing snow with an [electric] bicycle. The usual… “Can’t be done here” [US] or “Our snow is bigger” [than Can BC ??]
I’m well used to be called an idiot by idiots, mostly of US origin.
But it made me think of a video by the amazing Dutch-Canadian from ‘Not Just Bikes’.
Even though it’s topic is about a comparison between Canada and Finland, for those US trash talkers: the US has nothing on BOTH countries.

When talking about bicycle infrastructure in Canada, the number one excuse I hear is "winter." Many Canadians see the cold and snow as a fundamental barrier to year round cycling. But one city, Oulu in Finland, with winter weather worse than most Canadian cities, shows that winter cycling has nothing to do with the weather, and everything to do with safe cycling infrastructure.
Want to learn more about winter cycling? Every February, the Winter Cycling Federation holds a Winter Cycling Congress where experts and advocates get together and talk about best practices in cycling infrastructure and maintenance. More information is here at → wintercycling.org/“ ←

It is currently impossible to bike on Forbidden Drive or the Lincoln Drive trail without a bike specifically designed for this purpose. I saw one guy with enormous tires making some headway, but everyone else with a normal bike gave up and turned around. I walked most of the way with walk assist.
The #snow was just too deep and squishy, it was like #biking on a sand dune. The paved #trails should be plowed at least, one guy said they used to plow one lane of Forbidden Drive in the 90s and 00s.

The Guardian: Western US gripped by extreme snow drought: ‘I’ve never seen a winter like this’
"...A record snow drought is plaguing the western US, leaving some of the thirstiest states bracing for less water and elevated fire risks through the drier months to come.
Snow cover is roughly a third of what it typically is for this time of year across the west, according to measurements from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, prompting widespread concern among experts and water managers that several key basins will be severely affected through the rest of the year...."

Closeup of a very shallow gray puddle on a city street. Little concrete bumps stick out of the water’s surface like islands, and a patch of dirty snow and ice slopes upward from left to right in the foreground at bottom frame. Reflected in the water is a pale winter sun, in a small opening of blue sky surrounded by gray clouds. Although it’s clear what the image is, it also makes me think of a snow-capped mountain lit by a waning sun, shining through the clouds of a gathering storm.

The bad news is that my plantar fasciitis is back and I can't take long walks. The good news is that my own yard is plenty beautiful, and I don't have to walk far to get to it. And it's a gorgeous sunny day here.

Here's the last of my #snow coverage photos from #Asheville, figure everyone has had enough.
Alt...
A ceramic, hut-shaped birdhouse in green and neutral color has quite the tophat of snow on it this morning. As this is in a tree in the backyard that won't see sun until March, it still looks pretty much like this now.
Bare tree limbs are the backdrop the birdhouse. Most of those have already lost their snow cover due to the winds.
Alt...
The sun made this one possible, something we don't get to see clearly most days. This is a long-view of the top of the mountain to our east, and because of the snow and the sun, you can actually make out the top of the ridge, and all the trees along it, above the roof of my neighbor's home.
The mountain is about 3000'. It's a bit further away than this looks.
Alt...
One of my little black deck bollard lights, in a turquoise blue and with a nice hat of snow. The deck snow itself, visible just a little with the blue light, has been tromped upon by the snow removal person trying to get the snow off the pergola. That was, of course, me.
The low light and the iPhone picture make the light coming out from the lamp look rather fuzzy, honestly.
Today the sun has found us again in #Asheville, and it is helping do some of the melting without it ever getting warm. Currently 22F but the macadam is clear and dry after the 2nd shoveling this morning. Low of 5F tonight, and more winds.
Really beautiful.
Alt...
The sun is just beginning to glint off the snow this morning, in this shot off my front porch. We have not yet cleared the paver entry walk for the 2nd time. It is really nice to see the blue skies again.
The sun is a murky light blob behind the trees to the left in this photo. First time in a couple of days to see it!
Alt...
Another picture from the same spot, looking straight out the front door. The top of the porch, stairs and sidewalk are still snow-covered, but not nearly as deeply as the area of grass which remains untouched.
Alt...
Shooting up the street on the side of our home, and the looooong sidewalk I decided to shovel today. Such light, dry snow!
I think I po'ed a dad with his daughter and a sled, but I'm here for the dog walkers and wanted to be sure they had an ice-free path up this hill, at least on our property.
I think we have over 300' of sidewalk, but it was the easiest shoveling I've ever done.
A sidewalk curves up next to a street which rises away from the camera, still snow-covered as are the homes on both sides. The property falls off over 50' from the front to the back, so I like to keep this open and clear for people walking up the hill. As of right now, the sidewalk is completely clear and dry, thank you, sun!
Alt...
A lot of jumble in this strangely foreshortened photo, including a concrete, snow-covered bench, the trunk of a very large oak, a root ball from an older, rotted tree (we dug out this summer) and a "Everyone is welcome here" flag on a small holder.
The rectangular-shaped boulders retaining this part of the side yard appear like iced cakes. The greenery of some very confused daffodils are barely poking above the snow.

Getting to the end of the light here in #Asheville, still 13F with a -5 windchill. I should have gone out to remove the last 2" of snow, but what the heck... I'll wait until the temps double tomorrow. 😱 23F for the high.
Friend's report is the roads are passable, but nothing you'd want to play with if one doesn't need to. And we don't need to. Heat is on, lights are on, there's running water. Tomorrow's Sunday.
I hope everyone who wanted snow got some.
Alt...
It has settled a bit but I imagine this is 4-5" of beautiful powdery snow.
Taken from my front porch, one can see the snow has covered part of the porch again, along with the stairs and a pathway along the right side of the pavers that I had shoveled and then swept. The other side, and the driveway was only shoveled.
The scene is still tranquil, with very light snow falling, two houses visible across the court, and a variety of trees partially covered in powder. We have not seen blue skies or the sun today at all. I believe all of that will change tonight... ok, we won't see blue skies or sun tonight either, but you know what I mean.
Alt...
Looking to the right across the porch, one sees a pair of black rocking chairs and a table, a hanging barn light, a bear bell, and then a lot of snow and other houses across a hill of a street. This is one of the streets that the non-AWD cars attempted and then from which they retreated.
Hanging on the wall of the house is a light blue and white quilt square in the pattern of a snowflake, which is our talisman every time snow is forecast. Generally it is ineffective, but this time it worked. Yay.
Just finished the fourth driveway clearing of the day here in SC. Forecast shows another 6+ hours at or above 50% chance of snow or sleet. Temps will barely break freezing tomorrow with hard freezes at 8 and 10F overnight the next 2 nights. Hoping nobody needs to go anywhere the next 48-72h or so. It’s likely going to be several inches of hard packed ice at least through Monday at this rate. Only 2h at most to thaw on Sunday and just 6h above freezing Monday. #snow #scwx
Went to sweep off the snow between the patio and the crawlspace door, so I can turn the space heater on later (important pipes run through there) & it was massively cold.
Currently 13F, with a -7F windchill. Real temps going down to 6F tonight.
A few kids out trying to sled down on a hilly street nearby. At least it's dry snow, so good luck.
Better than seeing the Honda trying to make their way up, and then someone behind them in the street, on their feet, pushing the car. I couldn't watch, they were both sliding back down the hill, just one misstep and disaster. Someone with a Jeep came and towed them.

Kinkaku-ji, reliquary hall of Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺), was the last remaining piece of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's sprawling 'Kitayama Palace' (北山殿). The original was burnt down in 1950.

Just talked to a friend who grew up in southeast Texas maybe 70 miles at most north of the Gulf of Mexico. He told me that when he was in the third grade that it snowed for maybe two hours and he and his classmates were allowed to go outside to experience the snow. It was a very memorable experience for him just as this snow/sleet experience may be for some people. Maybe not in a good way, though. Idk.
Just another Tuesday in Dallas.

This first photo is the scene from my Dallas hotel room window, nearly as described in the original photo this is in reply to. This 1st photo in the post was taken about 6 hours after that post this replies to. This time, instead of the person salting the white frozen ground in the middle of the drive up to the left roll up door, there is are now 2 people. The first person is wearing a beanie, and probably the same one from the previous post, using the snow shovel in their hand to clear heavy wet stuff. A jagged path a few feet wide has been cleared of snow and frozen water, with brown concrete visible back to the yellow door, left of the roll up door. A silver SUV with the hatch open is backed up in front of snowy steps leading to the glass doors on the far left edge of the photo. A vast snowy lot surrounds the person with the shovel. Just behind the beanie clad, shovel bearing person, stands another person: sans beanie but possibly wearing some sort of cap, no discernable facial hair, grey pants, black jacket and boots, and seeming very content to watch this activity without active participation.

This second photo is the same scene from my Dallas, Texas hotel room window, neatly as described original photo this is in reply to,and in the 1st photo of the post. This 2nd photo in the post was taken about 690 after the 1st in this post. This time, instead of peope in the middle of the drive up to the left roll up door, there is now ansmptu, jagged path cleared of snow many feet wide near the building, with brown concrete visible back to the yellow door as well as roll up door, extending down towards the center bottom of the view. The further from the building that the clearing gets, the narrower it gets, until it just sort of ends, like a sigh at the end of a long meeting. The hatch of the silver SUV is closed. Most of the view is a vast, snowy lot, despite valiant efforts at snow removal by hand.

This has been a surreal week so far, national news excepted , with the storm and slow recovery.
Earlier there was a pizza being delivered on foot from the plowed street two blocks away. I guess they met the delivery driver.
And I now I see a little Bobcat™ front end loader down the street clearing snow. Nobody in my neighborhood owns a Bobcat™.
I don't know if this is the official response from the county. The "plow tracker" does not show any activity within a half mile of here.
Maybe a neighbor called in a favor. There is one guy who has a house flipping business that might be responsible. I thought I would see his "4-wheeler" buzzing around. But nope.

#Fitness #heart #kinesiology #Snow; on my mind, on my driveway, on . . I'm so glad the docs have me working out regularly. My cardiologist recently cleared me for surgeries. I'm worried about another friend, someone who's far frailer than I and who lives alone. I think she has enough sense to respect her limits as she clears her driveway Again.. This is one concern: https://newsroom.heart.org/news/snow-shoveling-can-be-hazardous-to-your-heart
Me, I have a sore lower back; the letter carrier was able to make it to our house, and waved to me as she drove down the street; I guess I did well. I'm not sure what exercise I should add to my routine to build up my obliques: probably the Belgian Twist. Of course! I find it a bloody challenge. Instead of avoiding it, that should signal me to do it regularly. .

An overcast winter morning on the banks of Tokyo's Sumida River, near a ferry crossing. In the foreground, dry yellow grasses push up through the fresh snow covering the riverbank. A pair of snow-plastered trees stand nearby; just beyond, the roof and ramp of a wooden boathouse are covered in snow. Close to shore, a trio of rowboats are tied up at mooring posts. On the other side of the calm Sumida River, blocky shapes of snow-covered rooftops populate the gloom. The sky above is overcast, and snow continues to fall across the scene.

Lots of snow to move! Stella insisted I take lots of breaks which is always a good idea!
My middle daughter gave me the blue gloves, they were great for this job. Details in the alt text.

Using a large yellow “Canadian-style” shovel that is pushed under and into the snow. Then the pile can be easily slid over to the side. There is no lifting.
I am digging out in front of a car. There is m much more snow to still remove. The car is completely covered with about 14” of snow.
Alt...
Have shoveled out some of the 14” of snow in front of the car. Still much more to go.

Both cars and this section of the driveway are cleared of 14” of snow.
Stella our two year old retriever-lab is sitting in the snow on the right chewing a giant stick.
Stella bounding and rebounding through the snow to chase a stick while I’m taking a break from shoveling out the driveway and cars.

View from a small town alley of snow covered ground, garages and sheds. The roofs you can see are white with snow and above it the sky is clear blue where you can see it between bright pink-to-gray shaded clouds. You could call it Cold Beauty in Suburbia.
An Ohio Department of Transportation snowplow had to be called into service by Ohio Emergency Management to escort an ambulance from Cincinnati Children's Medical Center to Mercy Anderson Hospital and back to pick up a child in need of advanced medical care and needed to be transferred. #Cincinnati #Ohio #Snow

Spotted one of the cats at least. I knew at least one was around because I saw some tracks, but not in the back yard where they usually hang out. Guessing they're having trouble getting around in the foot of snow (~30cm) on the ground.
Going to shovel/clear more out after work.

Hour 83 of this Snow Day. Teacher-Wife has a craving for a cheeseburger but child demands pizza for lunch. Already spent the last few hours arguing about nothing in particular and losing several games of the Pokemon card game.
Before they call a snow day next time, please let me know and I'll happily plow the roads myself to ensure they make it to school and out of my hair (whatever is left of it)
Snow, like wealth, needs to be redistributed.
We don't have any here in Portland, OR and it looks like a lot of other people have too much.
Despite all the snow, the buses are running normally (ish) which is wild.
⛄🌨️ 🚌
Even crazier when you consider the city doesn't equip it's buses with winter tires 🫤

Showing a view from a bus stop on the side of the road, with a waist high snow bank near the entrance. It's snowing, but the roads are plowed fairly well. The sidewalks are non existent. You can see a power pole and some pine trees.
If you can't build an igloo and have to clear your walks...

No grand ideas about the universe came to me, but I did realize something about Bénabou cosmoses I didn't know before so that's something.
What nice weather.

A look out on my deck this morning after a good 60cm of snow fell over the past 24 hours. The snow covers the sliding door up to the handle with a drift on the right side going up to the slanted roof of the garage. Another drift in the back is up against the wooden railings. An above ground pool is on the left side of the yard, with a brown gazebo on the right ahead of an old, stained shed. In the distance are three houses on the opposite street with fences between them. The houses are (from left to right) white, dark blue, and beige.
