Winter Continues Here!

Winter continues here without letting up.  It just snows and snows and snows.  It never melts, so it just piles up here.  I don't remember so much snow in recent decades!  The snowbanks are 4-5 feet high, though I'm sure out in the country where it drifts the plows have cut 10 foot walls of snow.  There's even a four foot pile right outside my window just from having the front sidewalk shoveled.

We haven't had many sunny days, though we certainly have longer daylight.  I wish for the return of the sun even more than the disappearance of the snow.

Look at the sky in that photo!

It's mostly dry snow that just piles up, but every now and then we get a day of wetter snow that sticks to all the twigs of the birch out front.  At any rate, THERE IS LOTS OF SNOW!

Here's a view from our front sidewalk where it's been shoveled to across the street.  
A person pretty well disappears briefly behind that snowbank when they're walking past.

And I made reference to our snowstick earlier this winter; I even posted a picture or two.  Well, it's been out of sight beneath this drift for at least six weeks now.  We hope he returns soon!
