rather buried

This morning while my brother was out snowblowing - (the big snowy thing by the way, is just the rhododendron) - I thought I could at least clean off the front steps.


Not much space in which to squeeze outside, so I pushed snow off the edge of the step with a broom until I could get out. It was piled high.


I was amazed at this snow hanging like a big fluffy comforter over the roof edge!


The snow ended around noontime, and the sun was shining brightly by mid-afternoon. The wind remained most of the day. See how deep! We got about thirty inches.


We have power. I'm grateful.

  2. I have never seen that much snow all at once in my life! Of course, here in the "sunny South," a dusting of snow causes great excitement!:-)
    It is good that you have kept your power. Stay safe and warm!

  3. The rooftops all look like they've been frosted with heavy, thick buttercream frosting!

  4. It's beautiful, even if a lot of work. :)

    Our last huge snow here was 2010's blizzard. We had about three feet, and it was just magical. That much snow just transforms everything so beautifully.

    1. You're right, Val - it was very beautiful. Today however, we've had warmer temps and rain; now it's foggy. And the car exhausts have already made a lot of it turn black. And there's another storm brewing for next weekend!
