Well, it definitely snowed! There was barely a flurry when I went to bed last night and around 5:30 AM I was woken up to the dulcet tones of chainsaws (ha!) across the street. It took me a few minutes to register what the noise was, but then I saw the beacon on one of the highway vehicles and put it all together. The heavy snow weighed everything down and while we have luckily not lost power so far, friends nearby have.
These first two photos were around 7 AM before Drew had a chance to go out, clear the driveway, and shake everything off.
You can see one of the branches on the pussy willow broke.
Same with this tree by the shed – the weight of the snow was just too much for it. Obviously, everything was closed. Both the governor and our county executive declared a state of emergency for the area, which meant no driving on the roads.
Believe it or not it is still snowing as I type this at 6:30 PM! The wind is supposed to kick up tonight, but I am hoping it doesn’t. We don’t need anymore branches down! All told, I think we got around 10-12″ of snow. It’s so hard to say when it is compacted like this, but it is more than enough regardless!
Wow! That is a lot of snow! It’s beautiful, yet can be so destructive. I hope you have a cozy day. Looks like a great day for coffee and a book 🙂
Really thick snow shower..Can’t do much except stay home and keep warm.
Wow, so much snow. That looks more like what I’d expect to see in mid January, not late March. Hope you keep your power, and stay safe & warm during that snow storm.
Hello! That is a great deal of snow!!! Hope it was cozy!
