My World #16

This is my posting for the My World meme . It is hosted by Klaus, Ivar,Sandy, Wren, Louise and myself. Last week there were over 100 people showing their worlds to us. Won't you join in, I want to see where you live and thrive. Here is part of 'My World'.

Becky of Twisted Fencepost had shown a Davey Tree truck a few weeks back in NC. I wanted to show the world headquarters and the development center of the Kent based company . This is about 2 miles from my home.
This is the building with a nice frozen over pond in front. You can click to get a closer look.
Here is a tree near the pond and I showed for its beauty. We have had two days above freezing and Sunshine.
This is in the way of review from the Crane Avenue Bridge from last week. We now have two way traffic but construction is taking place on part of the entrance to the bridge.
The are got hit really hard with 12" more inches this week. You can see the snow pile at the end of a neighborhood road from all the plowing.
This is all the snow in my back yard. The snow just keeps coming with no promise of quiting. The groundhog Punxsutawney Phil has predicted 6 more weeks of Winter and I certainly see it coming.

Go out and visit some other people worlds, it's lots of fun.

    Our local groundhog, Wiarton Willie, saw his shadow too. Bummer! Six more weeks of winter. At least we are finally halfway through winter and the days are getting visibly longer. Hang in there, FG!

    Really fantistic photos! And so much snow! I feel like such a wuss complaining about our 12 inches, it's been gone for weeks now and while it isn't spring, at least we have a little sunshine and warmer temps! Great post, as always!Thanks!

    And now I can hear Bill Murray say "It's Groundhog Day....again". I didn't realise the film was set against a real event! (Although I did know about the tradition of a critter seeing it's shadow). I still don't know which I'd prefer - your cold or my heat...

    First Tom --let me say CONGRATS on the Steelers big win.. I think I could hear you whoopin' and hollerin' last night!!!!!

    Great pictures in 'your world.' Glad they are getting some of the bridge work done.

    Hope your bad weather lets up a little. You've had a rough winter for sure!

    The snow looks pretty, but I know you must be getting tired of it. Twelve inches in one week is a lot. The tree dressed in red is very pretty.

    always enjoy your world...have to say i will keep the cold weather here rather than have all that snow you've got. my only reason for not wanting snow is that the walk from the employee lot to the terminal is a headache and one is prone to slipping on ice and such...

    have a good week

    It snowed here this morning, so a groundhog would NOT have seen his shadow. I guess that means spring will come in six weeks! I hope you don't get too much more snow.

    Like you, we have had more snow this winter than I can remember getting since the cold, blizzard days of winters during WWII. Boy was that something and we had to walk to school too in those days.

    Thanks for taking a look at my house finch in my birds blog.

    That's a nice building Davey tree has there. Looks like a cozy place to work. And it would have to be with all that snow!
    Glad I live further south. Maybe you should consider a relocate. tee hee

    Never seen a Davey Tree truck in my part of NC, but then I never went looking for one either.

    But speaking of trees, what kind of tree is that one with all the red on it? I tried to embiggen it, but I still couldn't tell. Looked like maybe some kind of ornamental crabapple or something like that, but in the dead of winter? Sure does brighten things up though.

    And I'm not convinced that this whole Accu-Rodent thing isn't anything more than a marketing gimmick to put places on the map that wouldn't otherwise be there.

    Lots of snow, and it also looks dry -- an indication that spring is still weeks away ... and if the Groundhog is correct, at least 6.

    Your snow looks wonderful from where I am sitting. We have had temps around 100F for over a week and it doesn't look like changing. The contrast between the red tree and the snow is wonderful.

    Fishing Guy, I suppose you know that the Steeler's Ben R. is grad of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio which is my alma mater and the cradle of coaches like Woody Hayes, etc. Great game Sunday night. However my son-in-law from Cape Cod who loves his Patriots refused to even watch the game! How about those apples!

    A very interesting series with good photographs. It is amazing that we have had so little snowfall, while there has been so much in your area.
    We have had a few warmer days now and what snow we have is rapidly melting, but it was brutal for awhile with the hard crust.

    Wow Groundhogs really do predict the weather over your way? I thought it was just the movie story, not real.
    You do have a lot of snow, must make life difficult for everyone.
    Thats a beautiful tree, with the red leaves and branches, nice photos.
