Spoke too soon – snow!

Serves me right for saying “winter is easy this year” … yesterday we were hit with about 6″ of heavy wet snow; not too much when we got up (maybe 2″) but it kept going through much of the day …

At work, more and more snow as the day progressed:

It took me about 3/4 hour to clear the driveway when I got home, so that we could park our cars – GBMINI is not at all keen to climb over snowbanks!

Happy New Year!

The first day of 2006 begins, with snow everywhere – but only a light 1-2″ … The weather has not been much below freezing recently so the bubbler created ice hole in the pond is quiet large – and you can sometimes see fish slowly swimming underneath:

It would be nice to think that this years winter will be easy and mild, as it has been so far – but somehow I think it will get worse in the next two months (it always does!)
