Snow Canopy

10 Comments

Our rise in temperature caused this snow canopy to develop. You can see where the door has shaved off some of the snow; whittled it down so to speak.

You might be wondering why we haven’t knocked it down. Actually, it’s attached up there rather solidly, and secondly, that’s a lot of snow. If we knock it down, we will have to shovel it off our steps, and since it has become warmer, the snow has become denser and heavier.

That’s probably more than you wanted to know about snow. 😉

Happy Tuesday.

Under the Snow Drop

24 Comments

Although it’s normal for this subarctic area to receive large snowfalls during November, the most recent one was particularly generous! 55 cm (about 22 inches) fell during a three-day period, filling driveways and road verges and obliterating vision to create a temporarily monochromatic world. Here are some snow covered views.

A handrail.
A garbage bin outside my office.
There’s a truck under that 17-hour snow collection.

The snow finally stopped this afternoon and the sun made an appearance, but I understand that we will get more on Friday.

Happy Tuesday.
