If you would like to add yours to this post, please send your photos to skydancingblog@gmail.com. I’ll update the post as I get more pics.
Joanelle sent these gorgeous shots from NJ:
The following photos were contributed by Delphyne, who also lives in NJ:
That's snow hanging off the roof!
Buried cars
This one is from Fran in Northern CA:
Timber Crater
A photo submitted by Minkoff Minx, from Georgia. Good Grief!
Big-ass icicle
We’ve got another photo from NJ. This one is from Branjor.
So, send in your photos if you have them. We could use some shots from CT, NY, and MA, (hint hint). Have fun in the snow everyone! It will melt quickly, because the temperatures are supposed to go up into the 40s in a lot of places by the end of the week.

Oh my, those cars are almost completely covered! Dang, a little 10 inches down here in the land of banjos and necks of red, and everything shuts down! Love those pictures, I hope that some more readers send their pictures of the snow, I just love seeing them. Thanks for sharing Joanelle and Delphyne…That top one Joanelle looks like a post card!
I’m feeling a little less bad about my weather now.
Ten inches is a lot for Georgia. Wow!
Especially when the county has only one snow plow. It makes getting out and about difficult. But, fortunately we are no longer a dry county…so those booze runs to another state are no longer necessary.
This is outside my brother’s bedroom window….it almost touches the ground.
I added it to the post. Thanks! I can’t believe that is Georgia.
WOW! That is some snow storm, and it looks COLD!
It’s time to shovel. I’m happy that except for the mountains, CA is snow free. I like snow, but not if I had to shovel.
The Boston Globe’s Big Picture has great photos. My favorite is the first photo.
Christmas across the globe
Thanks!
Dario, thanks for the link. Beautiful photos.
The one of the Hindu man with the “Happy Christmas” in devanagari script is classic.
Well, I tried, but iphone just wouldn’t cooperate. Beautiful pictures. Mine are about the same, so that’s New Jersey.
Sorry it didn’t work, Branjor.
yup, she sent me several emails asking if we’d gotten them, but I never saw them
BB, it’s sideways. Can you rotate it? I’ll try to send it straight.
Ah, done! 🙂
I thought I had it edited on wordpress, but it didn’t work. I had to do it on my picture viewer.
Pretty pictures…… We just have enough to be a hinderance here. It was actually already a pretty day out today….so that means the roads will be slick tonight.
Speaking of a cold chill. I just got one reading this: Meet Your New GOP Chairmen: Ralph Hall | FDL News Desk
Okay, his mom has to come forward and admit she dropped him on his head more than a few times.
Really? This dud is 88, that must make his mom even older that John McCain’s mama….
Hey, check out my typo…dud instead of dude.
88? Wow.
So we can blame this on Senile dementia then rather than his poor mother.
There has to be some explanation relating to brain dysfunction.
I just added another photo from Fran in CA.
That is a beautiful picture Fran. Wow!
another one that’s post card worthy!!!
I had no one to take a picture of me as I cleared the driveway and sidewalk for the third time today. The winds were blowing at 40mph and slamming the snow against the back door making it impossible to open.
The sight of me, hoodie and all, at about 4pm on my last trip out there would have been priceless. Looking like someone who could easily use a “makeover” I threw the shovel against the wall and called it a day.
The snow won!
Well, it melts. That’s the good news. You can enjoy the great outdoors as long as you’ve got food and warmth.
Another gorgeous photo from NJ just posted. This one is from Branjor.
I have to get to bed, but if anyone else sends pics, I’ll post them first thing in the morning. Thanks for the beautiful snow photos guys!
US snow storm hits DC homeless (Dear God, these people stayed outside in the snow storm…that is beyond sad.)
That is heartbreaking. Thank you, Ronald Reagan.
I don’t even know what to say other than “culture of life, my ass” 😦
Great pictures everyone! I’ll try to remember to bring the camera outside with us today. Doubt the dogs will cooperate, they shun paparazzi, but I’ll see what I can get the day after the storm.
Our electricity went off, as did our whole section of Connecticut, for several hours yesterday afternoon and night. My partner’s crackberry had internet but not our laptops. Luckily our 18th century farmhouse has some well-positioned fireplaces built to heat the house so we were cozy.
Health care “reform.” Yes we could have but no he didn’t.
The number of Americans without any health care coverage grew by more than four million in 2009. That left almost one-fifth of non-elderly people uninsured.
Another one to file under “Change we could have lived without.”
Wonderful photos everyone, thanks for sending them in.
Minx, wow! that icicle looks like a weapon.
