Looking For a Frosty?

Try the Hancock Tavern in Wollaston.  Happy Monochrome Monday!

Spirits

Some more snow is forecast for this weekend.  Keep your spirits up & enjoy!  Can anyone identify the location of this sign?

Pink Glow

The Blizzard of 2013 left a beautiful pink glow in its wake.  Happy Skywatch Friday!

Up And Over

Pedestrians and drivers are making their way up the Beale Street overpass after the blizzard.

Looking To Make a Move?

I wonder how many calls Uncle Sam Rounseville will get today???

We got lucky at my house - only lost power for 24 hours and internet, phone & cable for about 36 hours; some of our neighbors in Quincy are still without power.  We're still shoveling . . .

Feline Footprints

I spotted these paw prints in my driveway this morning.  My dog, Daisy was in hot pursuit of one of  her feline friends or foes.  We only got about an inch of the fluffy white crystals but I hear lots more is on its way for Friday.

To Swim Or Not To Swim...

The creek may look inviting to my pooch, but I think even she has sense enough not to take a dip in the chilly salt water.

First Snow

I awoke this morning to this beautiful snow scene.

The Look Out

Daisy Dog enjoyed her outing in the first snowfall at Blacks Creek.

The Old Tram Station

Trams are not as common as they used to be here in Toruń. We now only have a few lines which basically run between east and west of the city connecting the district of Rubinkowo with the old town. Up to the early 1970s there used to be a tram line that ran right down the middle of Ul. Szeroka in the old town. That has long since gone. These pictures are of the old tram station to the west of the old town. Today it's now the main depot and is also where you have to go to pay a fine for forgetting to have a ticket! It's interesting to see the snow ploughing tram. Poles certainly know how to tackle the winter!

Snow Skirts The Creek

Happy Skywatch Friday! We had another sighting of snow this week.

Ocean Effect

This dock at Marina Bay saw a little snowflake action this week. We are expecting more snow today.

GUEST'S GALLERY: The Snowballed Wall

Winter brings snow; snow brings snowballs!! Here is a really artistic shot taken in the Old Town of Toruń by our guest photographer Pete Tunnicliffe.

Snowballs can be fun, but they can also be really annoying. Two nights ago, as I was travelling by bus from Toruń to one of the neighbouring villages...a group of young Polish yobs suddenly threw snowballs at the side of the bus. A bit of harmless fun perhaps? Not when one of them had a rock inside which shattered the side mirror! The driver suddenly made an emergency stop and was physically pissed off! Needless to say the yobs ran away like a bunch of cowards! Probably afraid the driver will tell their mummies!! After all...everyone knows everyone in a Polish village!!! ;-)

GUEST'S GALLERY: The Snowy Bench

Wouldn't want to sit on that bench!! Snow has settled and after 2 days...it's still here! Be careful though as many of the roads and pavements are very slippery!

More Snow!

OK...at last we can say Toruń is in the depths of winter. It's currently minus 2 and there is a crisp blanket of snow covering everything. With temperatures expected to drop further...expect the snow to stay a little longer.

SNOW!

Well...for sure it's been late coming but at least we can say we now officially have snow in Toruń (albeit a thin layer which is currently being turned into slush!!). Winter this year has been very mild, compared to the two month slog that was last winter!

Snow Job

Woke up this morning to a some slushy snow as a backdrop to the autumn leaves. Warm ocean air kept this historical snowstorm at bay. Inland, the Bay State received as much as 2 feet of the snowy crystals!

A Heart of Snow

Simple yet beautiful...this snow heart is now sadly melting away. Who created it? Who's the romantic couple? Or was it just created by one person? If you know who you are...drop us a line here at TORUŃ DAILY PHOTO...we're love to hear from you!
