And finally...
Town Hall Square, which maintained its layer of snow for longer than the rest of the city centre because it's mostly used as a meeting place and lunch location - so less popular in the winter.

I'm from the mid-atlantic, and I've always heard and said that it "sticks."
My fiance is from Eastern Tennessee, and he says that it "lays."

Whatever it is, it's starting to do it right now. :( Gonna be a fun trip home tonight.

Good luck on your trip home, Hime, and Welcome to the Cellar!

Oh I have a love/hate relationship with snow.....it's so pretty...but makes walking the dog kinda difficult on account of him pulling and me slipping....

I took some pics as the snow started to fall. Day one of the snow, not so thick but pretty. Unfortunately I didn't get any pics of the really deep snow. We got very heavy snow on day two at which point nobody wanted to risk driving but somehow i ended up delivering leaflets in it:P

Anyway. Any excuse to take pics of my village, so here goes.

That was my garden as it snowed and the next morning. Next a picture of a really pretty house in the village.

Note the build date on this house: 1631
Next a beautiful mews. Very typical of Halifax.

This next shot is of a quintessentially Yorkshire chapel. The second shot shows it from a different angle. There's something wonderfully bleak about it I think.

Oh yeah....sorry, the matter at hand: Snow sticks.

Dana, 4th picture. Is that a snow on the hill warning sign? :smack:

Nope, it warns for ice. Sudden freeze after rain = black ice.

I didn't know they had casement windows in 1631. :eek6:

Well, I don't know about that. My guess is the mullions are original but the windows themselves a modern take.

Okay, that's enough snow cover for the Dickensian carolers to not look out of place!

The northern tier of the US is now making igloos in order to have something to do with all the snowpack they got this week. That and digging out people who imprudently tried making snow angels and have succeeded in making deep bore snow angels. They're tracking them by the "ptui! ptui!" sounds they're making as the snow falls in on them.

lol
