What a beautiful sight!

I love to look out the window and see scenes like that.

MrsTim likes snow. She sits inside, where it is warm, and looks out.

Not the same for me, I need to go out.

Somewhat nicer here.

I thought something like that often.

An irony - the way we design fridges as movable appliances means that in winter we warm the house using central heating and then cool the fridge to make it cooler than the heated house, using yet more power we pay for, admittedly discharging the heat into the room to assist the C/H.

Seems to me it would be a good idea to take advantage of the cold/cold outside and simply transfer some of that cold air from outside to inside the fridge, using a thermostat to control how much, and therefore the temperature inside the fridge. Would require some kind of split system, so the fridge would no longer be a freestanding appliance, and so long as some CountDracula declares to the competing makers what interface is to be used the internal and external parts of the system would become separate devices which can be independently changed when that part of the set of stuff fails. (Kind of like we can change the taps in bathroom completely independently of changing the hot water boiler/storage kit.)

Me too.

I always like going out after a fresh snowfall. The air is crisp and clean. Everything is quiet, the sound dampened by the thick blanket of fluffy frozen water. The crunching sound it makes under my boots is pleasing to me.

In the evening after dark, the light sparkling on the ice crystals is magical.

And I always like to take a few bites of the first snow of the season.

You do describe the nice parts of going out in the snow. Particularly when you make a decision to go out and spend time there because you chose to do something outside.

But going out to move the rubbish bin or drive to work at the time you need to go to work is less fun.

...or the crunching sound under the tires (tyres) of a knee scooter?

Good morning all and speaking of cold weather, one more sleep and we'll be leaving all that behind. Packing day today.

Always look at the bright side.

I like driving in the snow.

We compost and recycle anything we can, do have very little refuse. As such we don’t have a rubbish bin in the traditional sense.

So I don’t have to move it on trash day, as the garbage truck doesn’t come down our road.

Instead, each day I leave the house I take the tiny bit of landfill waste we generate and drop it in the first bin I pass, like at the fuel station or the bin by the door of a market as I walk in.

Easy squeezy.

No pain.

No stain.

I can always go to St. Alphonso’s Pizza House for the cure for the blindness caused by the Deadly Yellow Snow.
