The day after the cattle drive photos I posted, we got hit with a blizzard. No one is sure how much snow really fell. Spots were almost bare and then there were all the drifts. We had quite the drift (still do) in our yard. The wood fence in this photo is 6 feet tall. The snow was blowing fiercely so I could only get a few shots before the lens was covered. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/9w/s/Snowstorm-3152.jpg.html Front yard not as bad: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/9w/s/Snowstorm-3150.jpg.html My wife working on the driveway the day after the blizzard. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/9w/s/Snowstorm-0366.jpg.html More snow: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/9w/s/Snowstorm-0363.jpg.html Today a little sunshine poked through now and again, while it was still snowing. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Aram/9w/s/Snowstorm-3173.jpg.html More on the way all week. This has been the longest snow in quite some time. Been going on most every day for two weeks and the forecast all this week is for more. And I was thinking we were not going to have a winter this year. I thought the groundhog saw its shadow. I know others have had it worse. I grew up in Seattle and I know the hills, trees (shadows) and wet snow make that city impossible with even a few inches. While we have had quite a bit, it has been very cold so the snow is dry and not that slick. But it is impossible to make even a snowball, let alone a snowman.
