What is the view outside of your window? (homes, live)

Post a picture.

This is what it looks like outside my window right now...

(Location: Upper Peninsula of Michigan, United States.)

Plantedbystreams I have never been to the north east of the USA, but from your picture it looks similar to parts of my hometown, same types of homes in the west of Dundee

Anyway here is out my window.

[dunno what to put here]

This is the view from one of my back windows (taken in January this year)



And here's the view from one of my front windows (ignore the bid poo on the window!)


It's pitch black right now, but I'll take a picture tomorrow and upload it since the weather is obviously quite a bit different.

Mind you, these are from the second floor. The view from most of the first-floor windows would just be white.

Yikes, talk about cold and dreary ...
No pic from me (camera gave up) but very similar !

How often does it look like that in AK ?
And how long does it stay that way ?
Interesting that the amount of snow on the roofs is less than right next to your car ...

We get that much often where I live, but never that many snow drifts !

I love your pictures tigre, I'm jealous.

Most of the state doesn't get anywhere near this much snow. This is even a high snow year for Valdez, which is the snowiest town in the US by far. Snow starts around the first of November, and depending on temps I expect a snow-free yard sometime in the first half of May.

The snow on the roofs is just from the last snowfall or two. The snow on the ground is what's fallen over the course of the winter, after it's melted a bit and compacted.

Those aren't drifts. There are spots where it's been blown (by snowblowers) into slightly higher piles, but mostly, especially in the back window view, that's just fallen, compacted snow. We've gotten just over thirty feet so far this year.

This is the view out the window by my computer.

Puget Sound with ferry going by. Very pretty in summer. Damp grey and gloomy the rest of the year.
