And So It Begins!

Good grief, look what we woke up to this morning! What a difference a day makes! Yesterday although it was cold, it was raining, and the ground was green. So far there is 6" of the white stuff, and it is heavy. Earlier we had some flickering of our lights which might indicate downed power lines, but nothing so far.
Seems that anytime someone out here in the sticks sneezes we lose our power. We already have the generator hooked up, just in case!
This is my bird bath/ fountain. I think we need to put it away for the winter. To the best of my knowledge the birds don't have any sleds or ice skates to use here. This old chair now has a 6" soft snow pad for a seat.

The apple trees are covered.

My poor pink Rhody bush.

Our back yard during some heavy snowfall.

oops, I already posted this one.

More snow on the apple branches.

That big old Norway Maple tree in our front yard still has a few leaves.

If I can remember it, I'm going to try to keep a running total each day of the snowfall here. In my "job" as a weather watcher, I send the totals into the TV station 3-4 times a day, so I should remember to do it here.

Have a happy day all, and keep warm out there.
