After The Storm


We woke to another 20-30 cm of snow yesterday.  It already seems like a long winter.


This was our car on the drive.  Just in case you wondered, there are no front number plates here in PEI.
 

Digging out actually wasn’t that difficult because the snow was the light, fluffy (though slightly wet) sort, as opposed to that heavy lead-like stuff we got last time.


The day was extremely overcast, verging on misty, so not ideal for photos.


But it still looked pretty on the trees. 


 This is me, outdoors in waterproof trousers and boots, all ready to start digging.


And finally, the view from our back deck.  I know that it looks pretty, but I would be quite happy if it all melted overnight (not that that is going to happen, as there is more forecast for tomorrow).

  1. Such pretty scenes around your home but I bet you were glad to get back inside to feel the warmth again:)

  2. bbbrrr.... oh, that looks like here! We got more snow the past weekend too! The local rag was saying that we've not had so much snow since 2011/12... I'm with you, in that it feels like a very long winter already. It is pretty to look at. But once outside, it's not easy going... LOL! I need to get a new pair of lined trousers for winter walks. Be keeping warm & cosy ((HUGS))

    1. It has been very cold. We have a few hours of milder weather, then plunge back into a deep freeze. I’m so tired of winter... Marie x

  3. Gosh that looks like hard-core winter. Will everywhere get impossibly muddy when it all melts in the spring? I've never been in the mountains when the snow melts, but I always wonder what the picture-perfect ski runs would look like just after the snow has gone. B x

    1. It has been very muddy, with standing water on the garden. Then it froze again, so it became very slippery. Now we are getting more snow...there seems to be no end in sight. Marie x
