Winter Wonderland?

I hardly think so. It has been so sunny and dry, and the snow has mostly melted. We had a few decent storms before Christmas, which coated the world in a proper winter fashion, but have had no action since then. It almost seems eerie, this dry spell, especially after last year. This time last year was intense.....and the snow seemed to last forever. I was occasionally concerned for our survival. Looking back, however, I can only marvel. It was intense, but it was amazing at the same time. So here are a few pictures that highlight the experience.



I must brag--we get the most beautiful icicles in the world!

Getting out the back door of our house was a slight challenge


Matthew shoveled a path, but we were all terrified he
would be crushed by an avalanche off our roof



Strider with a snow dusting!




The most effective way of rearranging the mess

All six of us enjoying the tractor's incredible feat



My poor little brothers gazed longingly at the hoop for months!




A snow wall makes for a boring view from the kitchen :)





The main public road to our house---though it rather looks like it leads to some far corner of Narnia



Ah, the little blue house, with the big white yard!
