4. Yeah it's a very picturesque little spot. When we first got here it was daylight

3. Strange

No snow or ice...not that I'm complaining.

5. Snowed on Xmas eve. Where you're at? Mild here now

6. SE PA, Currently 50 and Drizzly

Have seen some snow flakes a couple of times but nothing on the accumulating side. Sister up near Bangor, ME has some snow but she often says ME has gotten PA winters now.

My wife noticed forsythia blooms along the road last week (Dec 31st). Anyone with half a brain and been around for half a century knows the weather ain't like it used to be.

11. Just goes to show

You can find beauty even when the weather is miserable.

Splendid images, lovely reflections. Nicely done!

12. I can't figure out which lake has houses that close to the water. There are lots of lakes here...

....but most have grassy areas between the houses and waterline. That looks like a great place to be, even on a gloomy day.

It's been unusually mild (and drizzly) the last few days. Got up 6AM yesterday - 48 degrees. Today it's 50!

18. Fort Worth TX: New Year's Day was in the high 60s - 70s

This morning it is 21 degrees at 9:30 am and the sun has been up for a few hours.

On Christmas Day it was 84 degrees; this was the warmest December on record for North Texas. Temps gradually dropped over the past week; this cold was supposed to get here on Thursday and it kept being pushed back.

I have joked to non Texas friends that I have been known to wear shorts to THanksgiving dinner but I never had a Christmas so warm that I could have worn shorts comfortably had I chosen to do so.

On Thanksgiving of 1991 or 1992, we were hit by sleet around 9:30 am - seriously heavy sleet. By the time I left my house to go to the inlaws for dinner at noon there was 4 inches of it on the ground and still coming down. Took me 40 minutes to drive 2 miles on a flat street.

When the Cowboys game started, the old open stadium had 5 inches - but the game went on. It has been referred to as "The Ice Bowl"

23. I know! It's Bolton Lake near where I grew up. I was surprised

To see it too. Think one of those places you never see from road - only if you are on a property.

Crazy mild.

[George II]

25. Oh yes, that's where it is....

We drive past there every holiday on our way to my sister in law's house for Easter and Thanksgiving. Been past there probably a hundred times, but never noticed it. I'll have pay attention next time.

From Google Maps 3D, these are the houses:

27. 100 times ??? Yikes it's a small world. You are my new best friend:). We

Used to go skinny dipping here in high school

[George II]

30. Yes - two holidays for more than 25 years, that's 100 right there (round trip), plus....

....my two best friends live in Manchester and Hebron, so I've been up and down Route 44 countless times.

13. Awesome pics!

[twodogsbarking]

14. So wonderful I can smell it.

[karin_sj]

15. Wow

Gorgeous pictures. They evoke such a peaceful, calm feeling.

[Klondike Kat]

16. Beautiful!

I'd gladly trade it for the -18 temps we had here. The steam coming off the Mississippi looked kinda pretty, though.

[twodogsbarking]

17. At first I thought Foggy and Drizzly were your cats.

I am a little foggy and drizzly at times myself.

[yellowdogintexas]

19. These are exquisite!! I think reflective scenes are my favorite nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. I wish I had had my camera instead of phone. But I agree on reflections

Some of it really plays with your head. Must be just the combo of light and stillness of water. Duh

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. Lol! I think Drizzly is a new website for buying alcohol too:)
