A Lot More White Stuff

We haven't had much snow here for years. We bought snowshoes a few years ago; how sad we have had fewer than a dozen opportunities to use them.

The weather forecast predicted a very low possibility of precipitation with temperatures in the low single digits (Celsius) so we were happy with the five inches of snow we had yesterday. This morning it was melting before first light. How disappointing.

I cleared all the decks, walkways and stairs to avoid the slush from freezing into a thick sheet of ice. Doing so while the sun shines ensures a clean and dry deck.

Twelve hours later, at 10:45 p.m., it was still coming down steadily while I cleared another eight inches of snow. Fresh, fluffy, powder, the best kind of snow.

Guess who's going snowshoeing in the morning!?
