Snow Day #3

 

This is the snow person I made yesterday late morning, it had fallen over by late afternoon. 

Here's how it looks today. I had to pry up the remaining big chunk up off the deck as it was embedded in the ice on the deck boards (cold this morning 29F!).

This is what our road looked like yesterday. Our neighbor couldn't make it past our driveway with his 2wd pickup truck. He had to use his wife's Subaru to go to work. The county had texted us and said to stay home, so we did. Today it's all clear, but most of the roads over the mountains are closed, they got more than a foot of snow!

Meg was not pleased about the ice/snow at first, but she got used to it pretty quickly.

I like this picture of the blooming rosemary. 

I did actually measure the snow with a Quilty ruler!

Our solar cells were finally snow free, just in time to get a little bit re-charged in the afternoon's partial sun. Our battery power was down at around 25% so we finally had to switch over everything to the generator. Our power came back on unexpectedly last night about 10pm. We'd been told it would be on by 6pm on Sunday, so it was a nice surprise. We all jumped into action and started the dishwasher, laundry, etc. And that brought back the internet along with it thankfully. Hopefully all is back to near normal now.
