SnowBegone
2015 has been a truly punishing winter from the snow perspective -- we are up to 100 inches of snowfall so far, and we're not even through Feburary. Definitely the snowiest winter I have ever been through, bar none. Photos from the first big snowstorm:
Lydia was a huge help this winter on the shoveling front -- she always did her share, and never complained:
Back in Jan you could still sort of see our mailbox:
Here we are on the second big snowstorm (or was this the fourth? can't even remember). I myself managed to miss the third one (24") since I was away visiting in California; Lydia and Amy had to do all the shoveling on their own. Pix:
Our poor mailbox has been whacked by the snowplow and is now just sort of stuck in the snowbank, off to one side. I am going to wait for a while to repair it (not especially looking forward to digging it out):
View from the front porch. If you are familiar with what it normally looks like, this will give you a sense for how deep the snow is:
Photos from this morning (Feb 22). Upon hearing dire threats of rain this weekend, I spent several hours yesterday shoveling the roof (weird experience), throwing down vast quantities of white stuff and a ton of ice. Just to be contrary I also decided to shovel our front walk, although I left in a snow tunnel just for good measure:
View from the front porch again, this time after shoveling:
And last but not least -- short snow video.

Between the storms: serious cold. Many weeks we never got above freezing (or anywhere near it), so no snow melting to speak of.
