Happy New Year,Mary! If you got the same storm Albany had, then we know you got a LOT of snow. We were flying out of Detroit this morning (it's still Monday as I write this) when we saw the news.

Stay warm and safe!
Mary MacADNski: We're getting another tonight and had one saturday night . That's three in less than a week. It's going to be a looooong winter.
God we am so jealous, want snow here n the UK sometime soon smile

Happy New Year & may success & joy line your path this year
Mary MacADNski: I wish i could send you some. So many want some, in no time it would all be gone. Aren't you clever with your path quote. Best to you.....

Nice aerial shot, happy new year.
Mary MacADNski: This is the path just off my deck. I am only a step or two above it. Deceiving, isn't it?
This country grinds to a halt if we have 3 cm of snow!! Happy new year Mary. Can you shovel one handed? smile
Mary MacADNski: In no way i can shovel. i dislocated it again yesterday and since then it is very sore and even more unstable.

Beautiful snow Mary, You may be surprised to know that we had terrible weather for the New Year. Wet, windy etc, a lot of the fireworks displays had to be cancelled. Yet in Victoria they sweltered in 42 degree heat.
Mary MacADNski: Sydney was ok too, i think. They had their fireworks any way. I was in Sydney for new years eve 2001. We were on the grounds of the governor general's residence....the most perfect spot for the fireworhs.
You may need a bit more than a shovel !!! Happy New Year..
Mary MacADNski: Another storm is coming tonight!!!!

I love the lighting in this one Mary, hope you have lots of help with the shovels!!!! Happy New Year and I do hope the power system stays on.....
Mary MacADNski: The power flashed for a moment last night and turned everything off but came back. My son went to a party last night so he will shovel (with a hangover) later.
Hope this beautyful snow path will take you as quick as possible to full recovery. A very happy new year to you and yours Mary. All the best
Mary MacADNski: Thank you, Richard.
And a very Happy New Year to you too Mary.
I like all the texture you have captured in the snow....wish we had some snow here...

Happy new year to you and yours too smile
Mary MacADNski: Thanks,Aksel. Iwas thinking about having told you about making snow people as soon as i got a chance. Go here for the story about why that won't be possible. http://www.justpictureit.shutterchance.com/photoblog/Accident_Scene_/

I would like to send you some snow.

I have shoveled 5 times in 4 days. Twice to the barn.
Only a path to the barn now.
More snow for tonight so we will get it all plowed tomorrow.
I'll call you later.
Luv Ya
Cath
Mary MacADNski: When did you go to Great Britian? It is supposed to snow all night and all day here tomorrow. I'll be home when you call. LOL. Not going anywhere!
Happy New Year to you, too! (:o)

j'aime pas la neige, c'est trop froid....
bonne année 2008
Mary MacADNski: Je conviens. Le déblayement n'est pas amusement ou, ni conduit dans lui.

I was nice and warm till I looked at this.
I can hear it crunching underfoot..
Mary MacADNski: We have way more now and another storm on it's way for tonight and tomorrow. Three storms since Saturday.

Damn, I thought it's a bird's view of a frozen river, at first.
That's quite a juxtaposition you came up with: a hot and sexy Besame Mucho will thaw your snow path within a minute!
smile Z
Mary MacADNski: I collect versions of this favorite song of mine and this is my very favorite one. I had no one to kiss at midnight so said what the heck, Besame Mucho for all of shutterchance.
I feel cold already, I would really like to have the opportunity to take phjotographs in the snow but we don't get too much on the coast.

Have a good new year and I look forward to seeing some more excellent images in the coming months.
Mary MacADNski: Thank you, Les. The way things are going there will be plenty of snow for me to experiment more.

Beautiful shot and composition. With all that snow maybe you should do rent-a-plow from CAT.

Great recovery and good health for 2008
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Louis

Umh...I have no experience of living in a place where there is snow...why do you feel the need to shovel it?

Can't you just bring in a season's supplies of food, red wine, good books...find a warm and cuddly pardner...and just sort of hibernate luxuriously until the thaw?

Or...is there some mysterious law of Nature that commands folks to shovel snow when it falls?
Mary MacADNski: We have to get to our cars. I am without mine for six weeks and am in withdrawal. I'm in a rural area and man, this is tough.
Happy new Year, Mary, for you and for all your family! Ahh! Thanks for the snow!
Mary MacADNski: Happy New Year to you and your family. We have very, very, much snow. The most since 1999/2000. There will be many more shots.

Feliz Año Nuevo a usted y a su familia. Tenemos muy, muy, mucha nieve. El la mayoría desde 1999/2000. Habrá muchos más tiros.
Very nice winter and newyear postcard - Best wishes for you and your family !
Mary MacADNski: Thanks. Did you have a good holiday?
