To my utter amazement, the streets of Portland were completely covered with snow before I stumbled out of bed this morning. According to my calculations, it has snowed about three or four times every winter that I have lived here, so it caught me off guard.
My girlfriend Verity was born and raised in Oregon so it is an exciting thing for her whenever it snows in Portland. Since I am from the chil

Today was the first of our two walking sessions and it could have been the best weather for walking, and walking was probably the best session to be doing with the weather the Lake District has been experiencing for the past week. On driving into University, af

The Selfish Giant
Top of Form
From The Happy Prince and Other Tales (1888)
Every afternoon, as they were coming from school, the children used to go and play in the Giant’s garden.
It was a large lovely garden, with soft green grass. Here and there over the grass stood beautiful flowers like stars, and there were twelve peach-trees that in the spring-time broke out into delicate blossoms of pink and pearl, and in the autumn bore rich fruit. The birds sat on the trees and sang so sweetly that the

It was the toughest Christmas of my life yet I was happy beyond imagining.
I had just turned 10 years old when mom approached me with a decision that would shape the rest of my childhood. It had been 5 months since the car accident that claimed my father’s life and broke my mother’s body. During that time I had been living with my grandparents; weekdays with dad’s parents and most weekends with my mom’s parents. Things were about to change.
The physical rehabilitation center was ready to release my mom to outpatient status.
Her parents had already assumed that she would be moving in with them but the doctors felt confident that my mom could live at her own home with minimal assistance. Mom knew what she wanted to do, where she wanted to live but that choice also affected her daughter, me. I consider what she did an act of extreme selflessness. She gave me the choice.
We could live with my grandparents where my grandmother, an LPN would provide the assistan
I am dreaming of white Christmas , with every christmas card i write, May your days be merry and bright, and May all your christmases be white.Marry Christmas. Christmas is the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart. A Christmas candle is a lovely thing; It makes no noise at all, But softly gives itself away; While quite unselfish, it grows small. Lets welcome the year which is fresh and new,Lets cherish each moment it beholds, Lets celebrate this blissful New year. Merry X-mas. From Home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other. From Home to home, and heart to heart, from one place to another. The warmth and joy of Christmas, brings us closer to each other.

Looking for a little fun in the snow this holiday then head for the San Bernardino mountains. The two main snow resorts are Bear Mountain and Snow Summit. Bear Mountain offer skiers and snowboarders almost 1,700 vertical feet of top to bottom beginner through expert terrain. Snow Summit has 26 available lifts, offering a wide variety of terrain for skiers and boarders of all abilities. Both resorts have already get plenty of man made and natural snow. With more snow moving in conditions should be Epic. There are there ways to get to the resorts: Hwy 18 from Lucerne Valley, Hwy 38 from Redlands and Hwy 330/18 from San Bernardino. If you decide to head up the mountain plan ahead and check road conditions. After a snow fall rooms and cabins sell out quick so reserve early if you plan on spending more than a day.Big Bear Hotels and CabinsView Larger Map
To all you folks doing your little snow dances so we’ll have a white Christmas - it’s okay, you can stop now. We have enough snow.
No seriously, stop, please.

and during the storm.
So please stop all dancing motions. Anymore snow and you’ll be hearing from my lawyer!

Dream no more: it's here! Deep drifting mounds of fluffy white snow. the kind that is soft and packable and holds the large crystal shapes in fragile sparkly points... just visible long enough to astound you with their beauty before they melt away.I couldn't help it- I had to go out into the hot tub this morning to experience it falling into my hair and the steam from the hot water. To sit in the bone mellowing heat while looking at the falling snow and newly white world was bliss. Pure bliss.It started about 3AM this morning- I know, I was up and checked on it. By daylight it was perhaps two inches deep and steadily increasing. Still falling lightly, it may get to three inches, yet! I am so glad the Christmas lights went up last week- it is supposed to turn colder and no one wants to be fiddling with the lights and gutters, etc. in this weather! The cold should preserve the snow cover for a little while.Our house is filled with the happy jumble of Christmas decorations being unpacke

We’ve been holding back from posting about Christmas related gadgets for some weeks now but, as it’s now November we thought it’s about time we opened the flood gates – and what better to start the ball rolling than with this decidedly geeky artificial snow machine with which you can be assured of a white Christmas regardless of the weather.
Billed as being the very same device used by special effects company Thomas FX, the Professional Motion Picture Snow Machine will produce ad hoc snow that, apparently, is virtually indistinguishable from the real thing thanks to the use of a patented snow solution and the device’s 600 watt motor and integral fan – which will propel the resulting fake snowflakes up to a range of 30 feet.
Snow output can be set according to taste, from light snowfall to full on blizzard type conditions with the device offering up to one hours worth of artificial snow per refill.
Ideal for those who are determined not to allow Mother Nature to stand in t
It was sunny and 70 degrees today in East Tennessee. It will be a record-breaker tomorrow. This map will show you the likelihood of having a white Christmas in your neck of the woods. Pretty green in Tennessee.The long range forecast predicts showers on Christmas Day with a high of 49 and a low of 32.But we can dream of a White Christmas. Maybe if we sing and dream enough?This is a good one. The Drifters with animation by Joshua Held will get you into the spirit. Click on the pic, turn it up, and dance with someone you love (even if it is yourself).
I am dreaming of a white Christmas, of course the ten day forecast seems to suggest that I need to keep on dreaming. It isn't bad enough that I live in the south; I live right at the coast also. But in my life I have seen a few white Christmases. I think the last was about 17 years ago we had around 2 feet of snow on Christmas Eve. Around here when the snow starts to fall little by little you hear the sounds of quietness overtaking the normal sounds of the everyday hustle and bustle. Little by little the snow wraps itself around us pulling us together in the warmth. The sounds outside are the sounds that God has put in the air. On the inside we are swaddled in the love with our family and basking in the warmth of their love. On the first Christmas we are told that our savior was wrapped in swaddling clothes. The love of his mother wrapped Him, while others were also wrapped in love. That first Christmas God's love appeared to the shepherds in the fields when the Angels p

Well it would have been if Christmas was held back a month and a fortnight so it was today instead of the 25th December. As it happens though I actually had a digital camera with me when it started snowing in college during my ICT lesson so I managed to get a couple of snaps of the white blanket, which covered the floor for what must have been a couple of hours before it disappeared. It has just snowed lightly again, but with the wet ground from the previously melted batch of snow it hasn't stuck.What will this have done for the already low river levels? Your guess is as good as mine, but I am leading a trip down the River Kent on Sunday and if it doesn't rain biblical proportions or snow so heavily that snow melt will bring the river up from a sorrowful state to a state of hysteria I'll have to call it off.One last thing.
