Over the past few days, the snow has almost completely melted, thank God.

One of the little rowhouses on my block has the cutest Christmas lights I've yet seen in this neighbourhood, which usually does **** all.

Suburban traffic near our largest mall is insane.

And today J. and I hiked through Quidi Vidi and Hoylestown.

Don't bring your wife out here.

Nice little update.

I have been seeing a lot of those Christmas light projectors here in Delaware the last few years. I remember seeing them on infomercials about 5 years ago, and they're starting to gain ground. But people project them straight onto their houses here, not down from the roofline.

I imagine they do that here too if they have any setback out front.

Nice pictures! I hate the grimness of melting snow. But I love the beauty of falling snow!

SignalHillHiker · #**272** Posted **Jan 15, 2017, 9:29 PM**

Went out for a drive at sunrise yesterday morning to check out the wind. Stuck the GoPro on the windshield for the first time in ages. This time filmed in one continuous shot instead of cutting out the ugly bits

Wow, that's a lot of snow. You guys probably got those storms that hit New England beginning Thursday. We only got hit by one, and it skirted by us. We've only gotten 4 inches of snow this entire winter.

SignalHillHiker · #**277** Posted **Feb 26, 2017, 4:51 PM**

It's finally mild - rain, drizzle, and fog. The mountains of snow are fading away. lol It's still too early for spring here - we'll certainly get another big storm of two yet. But it's a lovely break.

In increasing order of elevation.

Wow!
Great amount of snow has fallen in St. John's during the last snow storm.
It's very nice from here to see so much snow on those streets, though I suppose it will be very uncomfortable and complicated for the daily life.
Thanks for sharing.
Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

Thanks, Danny.

Playing catch-up in this thread, a few posts from ages ago.

Well, March and the beginning of April was awful. Snowstorms, rainstorms, windstorms... it's only just now starting to become habitable again.

Last week we had our first hike on Signal Hill of the season.
