The following are my own photos, which I took in Montreal on my cellphone on January 15th. We were getting a blizzard that day; lots of snow! It was actually snowing when I took this photo, so any spots you see are snowflakes. This first photo is of a mountain of snow in a corner of a shopping center parking lot. You can click on any image to see a larger view.
I took this photo from inside a bus shelter while I was waiting for the bus to come. This is one of the snow removal trucks working to take care of the snow!
The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) done here in Montreal! Enjoy! :)

morning greetings from malaysia. wowww that's lots of snow!!! today is a sunny, bright day in kuala lumpur. it has been cloudy for 3 days anyway. for today, i choose this quote: Happiness is a conscious choice, not an automatic response. indeed, we define our happinessm we choose our happiness!! take care dear linda. have a happy day today and many more days to come!
I can relate to that blizzard quote and your photos, since had a huge snow storm last weekend and are expecting over a foot of snow this weekend. Yikes! Stay warm!!
I love the Danny Thomas quote, and I like being reminded of his tv show that started in 1953 and ended in 1964. I sure didn’t see it at the beginning of that period. I am thinking probably late 50s or early 60s. I still remember a joke from one show.
I find myself looking forward to your posts twice a week ❤️ From today's pics this is the one that I can truly relate to: "Simple things bring great joy. (Buddha Doodles) And there's the little elephant I've grown to love 🐘
