snow!
This was the view from my office window this morning:
That was just after I arrived, looking not un-akin to an Eskimo, having been caught in a particularly nasty snow shower en route. Just ten minutes earlier, Bute Park had looked like this as I walked through:
Eventually, the sun came out. This was short-lived, but pretty while it lasted. Then the snow rolled in again and the view from my office window got whiter and whiter (and the volume of snow on the trees outside grew heavier and heavier)
This was the view from the other window in the office - the skylight!
Yeah, there were about 6 inches of snow all over that come the end of the day!
By mid-afternoon, the (apparently ungritted - what was the council playing at?) roads were starting to get pretty slippery, and my view was still getting ever whiter - definitely time to call it a day and head home while it was still safe to do so!
Just to continue the wintry theme, here are some frosty pics taken a couple of weeks ago, in the last big chill we had:
And finally - a pair of bookends!

I am thinking of night scenes in movies where they are blue and you know they have been filmed in daylight but a blue filter added to make it look like a night scene. Annoying if you want to make an icon with natural colour skin. Decreasing the blue does not always work and I am still to find out a good recipe/tutorial.
Your bookends are on guard duty ... very serious. Still, they are inside and no out in that snow. Best place to be.
Thanks for the pic spam (and me sitting here with the fan on ... the snow did help to cool me down).

I'm pretty sure Chicago looks a lot worse, but we don't get snow this heavy in these parts terribly often so it is quite a novelty when we do. Also - pretty!

The streets were chaos here, too - down to a crawl of about 2 miles an hour and still slipping and sliding all over the place. 'Tis a weekend to stay indoors!

It's really quiet when the snow is thick, too - as if the snow is a big blanket draped over the land, muffling all the sound.

The muffling of the sound would be a bit eerie. Free (and very cold) sound proofing :)
PS: Merlin is now "On Hiatus" or are you getting repeats ?
no subject
Merlin is on hiatus, yes, and won't be back on our screens until next autumn. British TV runs in blocks - spring, summer, autumn, winter. Merlin usually falls into the autumn schedule. Then Doctor Who, for eg, sits in the same timeslot in spring, and so on.

I am having withdrawal symptons now ... re-watching Series 1 dvds at night.
At least they are advertising the Doctor Who Christmas Special ... thank goodness.
