Day 8.061: Snow and ice

We were getting tantalizingly close to seeing some areas free of snow yesterday. The picnic table on the deck (admittedly having been largely cleared of snow a couple of weeks ago) was just holding on to some sinewy ribbons of gravity defying snow.

Then, when I woke up this morning the skylight was covered in fresh snow. Yes - I ran in the snow again this morning. It was falling hard but was short-lived. I blamed it on Exile #4 assuming she had been doing her snow-dance in the night. It turns out she fell out of bed several times, so even though she denies any actual knowledge of sleep-dancing, the truth of the matter is pretty evident.

By the end of the day, the fresh fallen snow is gone except where it is brightening up the aging snow-pack and our formerly-impressive ice dam above the garage is now just a fist-sized ice lump.

We must be due another storm. Oh yes - we are - over the weekend. Whether it will be snow or a mix of snow and rain appears to be in doubt...watch this space!
