This morning my wife woke me by saying "It is Beautiful Outside" I had to ask how beautiful it was and the answer was "about 1 inch of snow on the ground. It was beautiful and was the perfect snow for building snowmen and for snow ball fights, which I did throw a couple snow balls. :-)

No, These are not the steps up to my house but I thought they were pretty cool


At around 11am most of the snow at my house had melted but the wind picked up. It was very interesting to see all the birds out and foraging one last time. Shortly after this photo was taken, the wind picked up to about 25mph out of the North and now we have around 6inches of snow and some interesting shapes and drifts. Photos will follow (tomorrow) of the drifts if we still have electricity (yes all lines here are above ground and subject to bad weather)

Since the taking of this final photo of the day, we now have another 4-6 inches of snow on the ground and a damn cold wind still blowing out of the North at a constant 25+ mph.
