This is what winter looks like

Yet another snow fall and another round of strong winds predicted and we spent the entire day yesterday encased in a snow globe. (well said, Deb!) The snow that was falling was steady and beautiful. Falling straight down - huge flakes and never ending. They were predicting that the winds would come up but it never did so the snow that fell just sat where it landed. As I looked to the north last night out my office window, all I saw was white. Huge mounds of white. I noticed that the propane tank disappeared and there appeared to be a large mountain on the other side of the driveway from there. So much snow. It will be a very wet spring - again. Just like last year. We only hope that it starts melting a little at a time so the earth has a chance to soak it in instead of puddling and creating rivers and lakes where they shouldn't be. Hoping that spring comes soon!

My propane tank is under there.
This is the great snow mound north of the driveway. I don't remember seeing such a huge mound. Big pile, yes, before John got the big snowblower out and only was using the loader tracter to create big piles. But this is the largest mound I've ever seen!
This was the house railing last night.
