any snowstorm fans?

That said, not having to deal with that anymore is pretty sweet and, if I ever miss it too much, I suppose I could always pay to give snow a visit for a little bit.

If you're homesick I can mail you some snow from the suburbs of Philly. I definitely have some I could spare...

I miss places like Bowman's Hill Flower Preserve and (much further) Hickory Run State Park more so than the precipitation. Thank you for the gracious offer.

BTW, I found a video I took back on 01-29-2014 showing some frozen participation that actually did stick to the ground for a short period....

Nice vids, very relaxing. The first one reminded me of a scene from The Last Samurai. You ever catch any herps in all that bamboo?

Reports from local media show my home in the 36-48" band of what has fallen so far. Unlike the folks east of us who had to deal with 40-50 mph gusts, thankfully the wind has been light to moderate, but it's still enough to form some impressive drifts.

We haven't even tried to clear the driveway yet; while we have an ATV with a plow I don't think it's equipped for that much snow at once. We did make a path in the back yard so the dogs can go out to potty, and a path to the firewood in case the power goes out and we need to rely on the wood stove for heat.

Before we left work on Friday - at noon, because the site closed - we set up a small office pool of when the site would re-open. At the time the predicted accumulation was only 24" so I said Tuesday at noon. I should have said we'd be out for a week.

The hubby caught these while we were taking a break from digging out:







The doe was standing not lying down in this picture. Yes the snow is that deep.


She finally bedded down in this brushy patch between our house and the neighbor.

Awesome shots.

I just got done shoveling a path from my door to the driveway. I had just enough room to squeeze out of the screen door before hitting a wall of snow that was up to my neck. Oh, my poor back.

Wow, Melinda! Absolutely gorgeous shots! Born in MI, raised in MI and OH and lived also in IL. Been thru a couple blizzards and snow so high I couldn't open my front door both in OH and IL, and visited by the OH National Guard to help dig out, lol.

I can't honestly say I miss it after so many years digging out, but still love, love, love the beautiful photos

Hope you and yours are okay, too, Dan. Take care, snowbound friends.

those are awesome photos!

Beautiful photos, Melinda!!!
No snow here, supposed to be 72 today.
