No, we’re not. But we got about 18 inches in one day three weeks ago, and it’s been snowing on and off for about a week. Snowing now.
Normally we have to step up to the door stoop. Not anymore.
The rain gutter is full of water frozen solid.
There used to be a fence in front of the north wall.
We have a glacier – a river of ice – slowly moving off the new roof above the kitchen.
Scott’s gone out to measure the level of snow on the table.
The path to the compost heap is knee deep. (We haven’t been able to get into the green house for months).
And we sort of need to crawl over the snow and under the eaves to get to the firewood.
‘Course, Sisi is in heaven. She is a true snow dog.
Go Sissy -- don't loose her in all that snow (same color and all)! WOW! Thanks for the share. MB

We have finally had a little snow here, but are about 23 inches behind for this season...but March is still lurking out there. We have had mostly rain and sleet this year, which makes for awful walking/driving/plowing/shoveling.
I just hope that this doesn't melt so fast that it doesn't have time to soak into the gardens and yard areas. We are still in a signigicant drought here.
Thanks for the great photos.

That's a LOT of snow! I hope you aren't describing ice dams which can be a huge problem causing leaks inside your house. Yikes!

Ice dams? Ice dams?? What are these??

There's been a lot of talk about ice dams on roofs. Looks like your snow is moving off. Just check the Internet for info and perhaps ask your neighbors is you should be concerned.
Uh oh, Sisi may bring muddy footprints come Spring. Let's hope you get a couple warmer and really windy nights like we did. The snow we got (3") almost disappeared overnight!
Looks like Sisi's cousin didn't win the Westminster Dog Show. Musta been his extravagant Fur Cut!

CCI! I must admit that I think poodles get a generally bad rap at dog shows, just because of their silly haircuts. A shame really. Sisi is such a tom-boy I can't imagine her being a froo-froo wuss. Oh well.
We haven't seen any internal leakage because of all the ice on the eaves - I think we're lucky that our roof comes 'way off the edge of the structure before the gutters kick in - I think we don't have problems because of that.
I at least hope so. . . xxxx
