One Week into Winter


Yesterday morning I finished shoveling out from our 14+ inches over Christmas. As I finished, the snow started coming down once again as you can see above. My snow banks were at eye level already.



Here's a quick video tour of what it looked like yesterday.


All shoveled and easy to walk. Yes, I do have a deal with a neighbor who plows my lane out to the main road, I'd never be able to shovel all that.


So all finished shoveling I came inside to my cozy house and just looked out the windows at the snow. Then I headed of to work till 10 pm.



This is on a side window of my van. Where I grew up you could not ever really see the actual flake patterns in a snowflake. Here you can!


When I got home from work, it was still dumping. The streaks are just from a slow shutter speed. It was still very much a cold dry snow, not rain.


Another foot or more had fallen. After getting a good nights sleep, I'm back to shoveling until needing to head back to work this afternoon. I really do like the snow. But sometimes a break in the shoveling would be nice. The ski resort here is reporting over 20 feet of snow fall for the year. And it's only one week into winter officially! I hope you are all enjoying your winters with whatever kind of weather they bring you!
