This winter has been amazing. We had one big stormin December, but it got warm over the holidays and much of it melted. They were actually talking about a "snow drought" back in December. Well that did the trick. We have had snow fairly constantly since the first of the year. A couple of big storms, one 22" or so, another 14", but it's the constant 2-3" that is really causing the build up.
The road continued to narrow. Finally last weekend I tried opening it up by shoveling the sides, but that's a tough job. Mike Shanty then came by with his snow blower and did the job. So the road is in good shape now.
The problem we have is where to put the snow from the driveway. The banks are too high to plow it on top of them so either I have to shovel it over the banks or the driveway just shrinks. Trying to shovel, but it's making me old before my time.
So it's quite a winter. Could still have a month of snow left. They are talking about 6 more inches between tonight and tomorrow. THe big problem with this is it supposed to warm up starting tomorrow so it could be heavy snow. We're even supposed to get some rain this week.
I guess that means winter is beginning to wind down. The Spring is going to be a mess.
The first picture is the Christmas tree.

Holy Cow Dad!
The picture of the x-mas tree really shows how much snow there is. You should mention that the tree is about 8 feet tall when there is no snow on it!
Keep the blog entries coming!

It is hard to believe that I was "snowed in" with you last weekend when I am looking at 50 degrees and melting snow now in central New York.
This has been a very weird winter all over the northeast....
