OK, I think I know what they mean by granules. Sometimes we get very small stuff that looks like tiny white microbeads, round and about 3 mm in diameter.

However that's not what we got Thursday. What a mess. Much of my entertainment that afternoon was watching the dozens of vehicles that got part way up the hill, only to spin their wheels. At one point there was a group of 25-30 cars in line waiting for the guy at the top. Finally a cop managed to get to the scene part way, got out of his patrol car and walked all the way up the hill and made the people turn around and go down. He then had everyone else do the same since no one was going to make it. Crazy. All because the weather people forecast 1-3 inches (we got 6) and town road trucks didn't bother to put down salt or plow. We've had three times that amount without such problems. My niece took 4 hours to get from La Guardia to western NJ, usually an hour and a half at most. The whole NJ/NYC area was in gridlock. So stupid.

Here are a few pics of "Fall" around my house now:

Especially beautiful in a Sunrise! Also when you don't have to get out in the stuff!! :yes: At least I don't see any trees down back there! :thumbup: Also hope you didn't need to do any traveling. Just from the garage to the street could have been an adventure. :coolio: Looks like lots of Sun today hopefully will clear the roads, anyway.

Number 3 would make a great Desktop Image! :)

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system
CAUTION! Childhood vaccinations cause adults! :yes:

I thought the same thing. Love the story of the cop turning everyone around. I live on the top of hill and when we do get snow (even 1/2 inch) traffic up and down comes to a standstill unless you have a big ol' truck with 4-wheel drive.

No trees in either immediate neighborhood came down.  :) Well, maybe I'd better not say that yet. i got to the other house last eve after dark and was not able to see if anything came down in the back yard. Will know later when it gets light. They had a lot of tree problems in NYC area since those trees still had leaves on them, being warmer in the city area. Our trees were mostly bare. At this  house there is a thick layer of leaves under the snow that will be there for some time since it is still unusually cold and will be for at least next week.

If anyone wants a higher resolution of that third pic, let me know. When I get back to the that house I'll send it to you or post it here.

I'd also like a high res version. Email is fine.
