I was wishing for a snow day on Monday, and I did indeed get one but not quite what I had in mind! I envisioned a day curled up with a blanket and book in hand. Instead, I had to do four rounds of shovelling :(
Here's my ruler measuring the first dump (it kept snowing steadily even after this):
Here's what my yard looked like when I woke up:
We ended up with a total of 22 cm (about 8.6 inches) over a period of 36-hours due to the Colorado Low. We had more snow in this period than in January and February combined! We had only 17 cm of snow in total over those two months.
School buses were not running, so my kids were home with me. Even though I finally had my driveway clear by noon, the road was impassable. There were trucks that were getting stuck in the deep snow, so I wasn't going to chance it with my little car. Our street still hasn't been plowed, and it's terribly bumpy and rutted. At least the snow has been packed down for the most part with all the vehicles driving on it.

Here's what my yard looked like when I woke up:
 |
| The snow was so wet and heavy that it weighed down the branches so that they were nearly touching the ground on this tree. Lots of branches broke from the weight. |
 |
| The deer were digging in their usual feeding spot to look for the feed that was buried under all the snow. |

| My window feeder was a popular spot all day long |

Ugh the snow this week was bad here too. We got around 22 inches so had a snow day but soooo much shoveling. At least Spring is on its way. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteWow, that's so much snow. I know that wasn't what you wanted exactly but maybe you got some cozy reading done. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteWe just got back to normal around Tuesday after a major snow dump the week before. Fingers crossed things return to normal quickly where you are.
