Igor,
I have almost that much snow here at my house. We received a good 30cm of snow last saturday when i was in Orlando for the last day.
And the forecaster are calling for another mess this weekend with a mix of snow and maybe a lot of freezing rain (20-30mm)

.....and its so cold since yesterday, it was -30c last night here, and only -18c as maximum today

...The normal temp. is -3c and -12c....we are well below

Beautiful winter wonderland Igor! I'm coming to visit

Thanks All!
Mike you are welcome! May either August-September...
Jim, your Sequoia is something....It's not cedar trees which are so common through over the World.
Ben, your pictures from Florida really inspired me for contra-Orlando.
Aaron, I love your desert landscape covered with snow. Perhaps sometime I would prefer Erik's Belize pics which are always nice and green!

Barb since I was taking the pics not using the flash a doggy pics were a kind of blur. I wasn't able keep Whiskey calm....

Thanks for the pic.

That is soooo pretty, Igor.
Obviously own a lot of surrounding land...or no-one wants to build beside them?

Neat to see the relationship of the mountains to the city.
Thanks!

She is right absolutely! I love this city too. It's like of a piece of Europe in North America.

Oh, Barb... The Orthodox Church is located at the middle of the public park... There are only a few of one hundred yeas old buildings in Almaty since the city was heavily destroyed after catastrophic Keminskoe earthquake (7.7 magnitude) in 1911. The Cathedral was built in 1907 though...

Church is located at the middle of the public park.

Beautiful surroundings.

That's a big earthquake, great that the structure survived.

She's such a gorgeous puppy, Igor.
And happy to be in a good home, I bet.

Bet that hydrangea was lovely this summer.
I wanted a laceleaf hydrangea but the nursery had sold out.

There's NOTHING as pretty as sunshine on snow...

Im agree, but Québec city is more beautifull and with the lower city, its really looks like an medieval town.... but both don t have the mountains you have as background

Thanks Mike, it's true. That's why I like Aaron's pictures either from ID or AZ.
