This is the snow that has been shovelled for the last several months from my steps, and it contains bits of sand and paint. Paint on steps doesn’t do well in this environment.
The snow awning is more under control now, too.
Spring icicles are much more welcome than autumn ones.
This should give you an idea of how much snow is on my roof. I took this on Tuesday (March 16).
It’s beginning to melt and I’m starting to think we had better knock some of it down. I wouldn’t want any of that falling on my head!
Today, the icicles were starting to develop …
Do you see the bird?
… and we had +7°C! It was such a nice break after literally, months of -30 and -40 … and sometimes, I really just didn’t want want to know. It was better that way.
The snow was soft and beginning to be slushy; snowballs were waiting to be made, snow sculptures were waiting to be found.
