I'm not sure the meteorologists were exaggerating after all. We haven't had any serious snow squalls, which reduce visibility to nil, but we have had a lot of snow! Maybe 12" by now; at least our snowstick is almost covered! It sure does leave a very pretty world, as well as the hum of snowblowers in my ears.
The view out the back just looks white.
TThe branches of the Redbud out the back window caught a surprising amount of snow. Lots of brown seedpods.
Ah, but we're prepared. With me in a wheelchair we use a snowblowing service, and here he is. They also provide snow shovelling of the front walk, all for a price of course. It's sunny out now, and the snowy world is very beautiful.
It is a whole new way of living when you get a winter like this. I always thought living where snow would fall right by the front door would be wonderful, but in reality staying indoors, keeping warm, and watching the snow blower clear the street and driveway is much better. The red tractor makes a statement against all the white.
ReplyDeleteSnowblowers should definitely have mufflers. Pretty white covering everything, but I'm glad to hear you've got somebody looking to clear your way.
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty looking and requires a great deal of work! It has begun!
ReplyDeleteYou sure got a dump of snow! Glad you've got a service to clear it out. I agree, when the sun is shining, the snow is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow. What a dump in Muskoka. This is enough, more than enough, too!
ReplyDeleteGlad you both are Safe. Even at a Foot, you got lucky. We got a dusting, but further east got over Four Feet.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe!
It's about time.
Beautiful from inside if you never have to go out. I don't mind the white stuff as long as I don't have to drive in it and it's not blowing in my face from a cold north wind. Stay well!
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not it snowed here in London a couple of weeks ago! Lasted about 20 minutes but that’s London for you.
ReplyDeleteWe got similarly dumped on over the last 24 hrs too. Glad we're not in Gravenhurst though!
ReplyDeleteP.s.our power has been out since 9 last night. We're running on battery power today.
