My daughter Bhavana lives in Boise along with her husband Rohit and two charming daughters Mira aged 7 years and Nandita aged 3 months. In December they had heavy snowfall and I am posting some pictures snowfall in and around my daughters house there. Boise had received some of the heaviest snowfall of recent times.
I had no idea Boise was that large, 99th in rank. Your photos show that it still has a bit of small-town atmosphere, though.
ReplyDeleteWe too are seeing extreme weather. Yesterday our temperatures reached coldest levels in history. Wish I could photograph our snow as well as you did Boise. By the time I can bear to go out with my camera the snow will have melted:)
ReplyDeleteHa Ha !
DeleteAdorable pictures and so beautiful winter scenery, I love snow and in my place I'm still waiting to see some snow.Thanks for sharing your pictures, you have such a beautiful blog here! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLéia
great snow shots and i saw on our news yesterday that more than half of the USA had negative temps, which is a record breaker. snow and ice every where... hope all is well with you daughter and family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern Sandra. Yes they are fine. Its mostly snow and no ice.No snow in January'14 though.
DeleteThe snow always looks so pretty Ram, but living in a warm climate I can't even begin to imagine the temperatures being experienced over there.
ReplyDeleteΤι υπέροχες εικόνες!!! Μοιάζει με παραμύθι!!!
ReplyDeleteΝα έχεις μια ευτυχισμένη χρονιά, με υγεία και ευτυχία με τα παιδιά και τα εγγόνια σου!
Πολλούς χαιρετισμούς
Beautiful winter shots.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed all of your photos of Boise! It doesn't surprise me, though, that Boise can get a lot of snow. I find these pictures and the snow lovely to look at, but not in person! :))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs! So, it was a 'white christmas'?! The fourth picture is very very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteNice snow pictures.....good post again.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the kids enjoyed getting out to play -- looks to be with all of the footprints! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely captures!
ReplyDeleteYou DO have snow pics; wasn't I just wondering that? Google will turn them into gifs!
ReplyDeleteBoise has a lot of snow right now, that's for sure. We don't have any in western Oregon.
I hope the weather is settling down and they are spared the worst of the current bad weather.
ReplyDeletecongrats on a new granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a gorgeous pictures!
ReplyDeleteBoise looks a wonderful place!
Congratulations to your new grandddaughter Nandita! :)
I absolutely love your snow photos, and congratulations on your new granddaughter! It is very cold, windy and there is ice everywhere here in Montreal, making a short walk a dangerous thing.
ReplyDeleteIt is worse in many places.A friend of mine is stuck midway from Chicago to her place.The roads are full of vehicles covered in snow along the sides.They are inching at 15 miles per hour.The snow storm with chill wind is the worst in the recent years.Flights are affected and schools in some parts closed.Pretty scary
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for snow comes here for three years!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that today was really bad weather...Michelle
ReplyDeleteSnow rarely comes around here, maybe twice every three years. We still got some cold weather from the winter storm.
ReplyDeleteWow..Superlike for all the pics..The snow white is always beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteI see part of your heart is in Boise....some thick snow there
ReplyDeleteWhoa! So much snow!
ReplyDeleteMay be one can make a snowman.
I love snow but a freezing weather I am not too fond of. Regardless, the photos here could inspire poetry. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures...
ReplyDeleteThe white snow makes around so prettier! thanks for sharing
