Blizzard of Aught Nine II

I realized that I had promised some general pictures of the snowy landscape in addition to pictures of the twins, so here they are. By the way, I had already called the snowstorm back in January 2009 the "Blizzard of Aught Nine," but after the eighteen inches or so of snow that we got during this past December's storm, the appellation no longer seems as appropriate. :-)

 

Some decent-sized icicles formed on the main portion of our roof.

 

 

The snow cover on our cars was a pretty good visual depiction of how much snow we got.

 

I liked the contrast of the snow piled up on our electric meter.

 

Snow was piled high on the steps to our back deck.

 

 

Snow was precariously piled atop this thorny branch. (I manually converted the second image to b&w.)

 

The snow on the table on our back deck was the best measure of how much snow we got, somewhere over 18 inches, I believe. It figures that I hadn't yet covered the table for the season... :-(
