Winter Wonderland

It was beautiful waking up to a white world instead of the constant brown we’ve had lately. We typically get most of our snow in February or March however we do tend to get a few storms November – January. The last few years however, the weather has been quite odd – warm one week, cold the next – casulaty of Global Warming I suppose. This week is a perfect example, Saturday was in the upper 50s and Jon was running around in a t-shrit outside, this morning we wake up to snow…

We didn’t get much but what we did get is wet and heavy so it sticks to the trees and bushes creating the winter wonderland effect which is quite beautiful. Downfall is it is a pain to shovel as it is so heavy… The tractor didn’t like blowing it much either – it kept freezing against the metal and clogging everything up…
