2nd SNOW - Part 1

THIS IS OUR SECOND MAJOR SNOW for this year. This does not happen around here... It is AMAZING! Anyway, as a record of THIS one - here are a few shots from earlier today - back when the snow was just starting to stick. Mostly, tho - notice the FLOODING - the lakes and streams in my yard from the 2 inches of rain over night. That is the same 2 inches that gave Delaware and NJ 2 feet of snow. Then, to give you another idea - snow on a window? HERE? Well, if you look real hard, you will see a cardinal sitting on a bush outside my window. It is still snowing as I send this - we have about 5 inches. Oh, and this little turtle is a boot brush!

You have gotten more snow than we have. We got about a foot two months ago and with the colder temperatures it has stayed. Occasionally we get a refresher inch or so. I think we have had he best weather, a Winter drought with warmer than normal temperature, (Average daytime temp. is -8 C.) but still below freezing. Mother Nature still has time to bless us with a big storm.
