One time onlySnow Watch
You know how I moan, rant and rave that we never have snow, I mean ever....... well look what happened the day after I started blogging again. Snnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow! I went to bed in boring nothing ever happens in this town Ramsey to walking in a Winter Wonderland of Narnia. Didn't run into the Wicked Snow Queen (I'm The Wicked Queen B around these parts anyway) but there is an abundance of melting snowmen lining the streets. So please forgive the lack of sky this week, blue sky too as opposed to the usual dreary grey. The chances of the island covered under a pure white blanket of gorgeous soft fluffy falling, crunch under foot snow are more remote than spotting the elusive escaped wallaby that haunts the hills around these parts. Yes been here 7 years finally got snow. Now if I can find those Manx fairies who are probably hiding out in the woods with the wallaby I'd be one happy girl. Like that's gonna happen. I wouldn't have any crap to moan or write about would I?
Short and sweet tonight. A bit like the snowy scene. All slush and mud now, just like Ramsey. More skywatch images can be seen here
Welcome to the 'snow' club! Surprising and splendid, that snow.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Spectacular shot.
ReplyDeleteWow - snow in man, rarer than hens teeth!
ReplyDeleteMy husband grew up on the island and I can still remember having to go for a walk in the snow at 2am, shortly after we first met as he hadn't seen it before!
Hope you got to have snow fun before it turned to slush xo
That over the Dooey? Very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Babooshka,seems like such a long time since I visited you. Don't worry about the lack of sky, because it came down to you. Lovely shot. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while Max-e since I blogged that's true. I have been in hiding with the escaped wallaby. Rm Yep it's the Dooey.
ReplyDeleteI was glad to give you a suitable welcome! Snow...! Better you than me. There's a buzz around here. We have never had it in the 16 years I have been here.
ReplyDeleteDewdrop, 16 years. I thought 7 years here was bad. The dogs were going mad. Shame it can't last.
ReplyDeleteI wish our snow was melting to mush - its colder in Manchester than it is in Siberia right now.
ReplyDeleteNarnia it is, and it's beautifully captured.

One time only snow, how lucky you are. It is enough for some beautiful winter shots like this one. Gorgeous scene with the big snow in the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteSome of us are complaining about too much snow.
Beautiful winthershot:-)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back babs. Beuatiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image, nice light. Snow transforms everything into beauty, until its reduced to slush....
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful winter shot. I've loved the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe since I read it as a child and later read it to my daughter. I enjoyed you referencing Narnia.
ReplyDeleteNarnia, indeed! So many places are joining the snow club. I guess we'll let anyone in at this point. Welcome!
ReplyDeleteA most excellent snow scene and as per your explanation, all the more enjoyed because of it's rarity!
ReplyDeleteFabulous capture.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year!
I bet it's special Manx snow too. It'll stay around for ages and the council will start charging people for building snowmen.
ReplyDeleteHey, Girl! Good to see you back! Missed you, hoped all was well. Fantastic, snowy shot! You did get that snow, didn't you? How fun! Well, at least for a little while! Enjoy and have a terrific weekend!

Great shot by the Snow Queen.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it looks a bit like Magic, doesn' it ?
ReplyDeleteEurope looks frozen ...

Happy New Year 2010 !

Stop by and scroll back a week or two to see my Narnia snow pictures--lol--we just ordered Narnia from Netflix after our visit.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back, - did you come through Narnia???
ReplyDeleteNature gave you a beautiful gift, now she gives you mud and slush. Did she think you were not properly appreciative of her gift?
ReplyDeleteGlobal warmin ment we would hardly even see snow again. I'm glad "they" were wrong...Your picture makes me long for a cup of hot cocoa...;-)
ReplyDeleteTerrence looks at the sky
We rarely get snow in my neck of the woods either, but there's a tad on the ground right now.
ReplyDeletegood to see you back ranting.
ReplyDeletegood to see you back ranting.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty the snow covered plants, somebody must have responded to your wish!
ReplyDeleteThe forecast here is for "snow showers after midnight".
ReplyDeleteTranslation: "Don't blink or you'll miss it."
No matter. I've got plans afoot to venture into snow country ere the winter's done.
indeed a fairy-like dusting in your world. we too...are in for another round of the white dust. however, i am not fond of the cold and wind.
ReplyDeletehave a fab weekend.
Babooshka: What a fun post and a neat show of the snow.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture. Love the snow.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Nice to see you.
Happy weekend.
What a shot to restart blogging! And a delightful shot of the snow! I was guessing you were down at the pub trying to think up one more angle to shoot the swing Bridge. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteLove the shot!
ReplyDeleteThe Narnia reference is perfect. :)
I like the snow on the tree :)
ReplyDeleteA one-word comment:
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
Awesome shot as always, come to my city and you can enjoy the snow for upwards of 6 months. ;)
ReplyDeleteAll the best

Narnia indeed. Its a fairytale scene. I see something like that and wish we had snow, then remember how cold and wet it is.
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Babooshka, it must be great to see snow after so many years. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteOverhere in the Netherlands we've had a lof of snow too the last weeks, and more snow seems to be coming this weekend ...
Enjoy your weekend!
Welcome back to blogging and welcome back to snow. Maybe it is an omen, sign of chance............... Whatever, enjoy it. Great photograph and more to come, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteoooooh this really does look like narnia!
ReplyDeleteleethroughthelens.blogspot.com

Nothing is better than sun on snow.
Except maybe summer...

It's gorgeous B! Guess you can get what you ask for. Maybe you should be looking for fairy tracks in the snow.

ReplyDeleteNice to be reminded of pretty fresh snow after tramping through dirty icey crud for the last two days? Now, where there any lions about?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got your snow. Great photograph.
ReplyDeleteI can see why you couldn't wait to get out and photograph the snow. This is enchanting.
ReplyDeleteHey, Babooshka! Welcome back! You do know the reason it snowed, don't you? Why even the clouds are delighted that you are blogging again!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo!! and I love "Babooshka"... we called my grandmother "Baboo". Thank you for that pleasant thought. ;)
ReplyDeleteEsp. for you & your return to THE BLOG. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteWonderful winter picture!
ReplyDeleteWe have much snow since this week.
Congrats on the snow! Sorry it is already melting. :(
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and definitely quite Narnia-like. Hopefully for less than a hundred years though ;).
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Babooshka!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful snow picture! We have a lot of snow here in Piedmont too.
Would you like to put our links in the blogrolls?
wow, excitement!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty though!
ReplyDeleteI will not concur on it. I regard as nice post. Especially the title attracted me to study the whole story.
ReplyDeleteIt does remind me of Narnia! Whoa I really need to feel the snow... I don't get to see snow in my part of the world ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the Isle of Man never had snow. Now it does! Perhaps the snow decided to come because your started blogging again ...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week, B!
