Amazing Photos from 2015 Blizzard...

[Rocky_Shorz]

this is a great storm for incredible photos, if you run across any good ones, please toss them in...

this is a shot from Japan, not Maine... a few confirmed it is an old shot, but still a great picture. a friend up in Canada says they are getting pummeled and are planning 3 days before roads will be passable again...

Nope! That's an old picture.

But still, we had 17C (63f) here way up north in Calgary on Sunday and another record today Vancouver was close to 20C (68) ... I'm lovin' this winter so far! ;)

... Too bad for the people out east ... :P :P

[Keajran]

This photo is not from today and I strongly doubt it's of Maine. I saw this same image while perusing Pinterest a week or two ago for wintery images.

Another old one ... I posted this (actually giovonni did first) as well as the first one in the OP ...

Re; post #8

Actually, I was thinking "Bigfoot'

[sirdipswitch]

Don't know where that OP photo is from but... it ain't Maine and it ain't Canada. Look at those cars folks... they are going the wrong way...

for either country. yep. uh-huh. :wizard:

[MorningFox]

This picture is at least a few years old and is apparently from Yuki-no-Otani in Japan, not Maine.

If you googled Yuki-no-Otani you will see many more rather spectacular photos...

That first image is from Tateyama Kurobe in Japan. I remembered seeing it years ago.

Well here's Eastern Canada the last couple days ... While the northwest side of north America enjoys record high temps for most this winter ... poor easterners ...

"In some places, the snow is reaching over 11 beers high ..."

And that's just the start!

The ice age is here. It will get worse from here on. Going to be hard to breathe when the snow buries houses completely. I don't think I'd want to be in Canada right now. Here on the front range of the Colorado Rockies, we are on the edge of the jet stream between the warmer west and colder east. We get both alternately.

Ice age? Canadians call it "winter". :P :P
