Finally, Snow Cover!

Since my last post, we have had two trace amount snowfalls, where basically we get less than an inch of snow and it all melts by noon.  We then got one snowfall of about two inches and I actually had to shovel for the third time this season.  Finally, this past Monday, we got what you can see below.  I would say it ended up being another two to three inches, but with this snowfall, we had about an inch of slushy muck under the snow, so the roads were terrible.  This snowfall marks the fourth time I shoveled this year and I still haven’t even started the snowblower!

Dad and I have a snowmobile trip planned for the upcoming weekend (this trip was originally schedule for the beginning of the month, but we had to cancel and reschedule because of the lack of snow), but we are still on the fence about if we will have enough snow yet!  I have been doing a little checking online, but I haven’t been able to get any great information.

I am the same way. Winter means snow. I have been in a funk this winter. I really need a couple good snow storms!

Thanks for reading my friend!
