More Snow

In the last twenty days (since December 20th,) we have had measureable precipitation on thirteen days and only two days with no snowfall at all...



The fine, dry snow lies twelve-to-eighteen inches deep on the back yard and over two feet deep places where the wind has filled ditches and depressions. I am glad to have my mukluks with the drawstring tops that keep snow out.




Denny cleared the back deck the last time he was home but this evening the snow lay six-to-eight inches deep on it--and more was falling.



I broke trail to the woodshed this evening, bringing in a goodly supply to warm up for tomorrow. The woodshed is actually a tall covered area adjoining the back deck, enclosed on one side and the back but open facing the house and deck. The metal roof is waterproofed with those blue tarps, which keep most of the wind-blown snow out as well. The structure has been a great addition to the house and makes the chore of hauling wood quick and easy.
