And the big tall majestic cedar trees, bending with the weight of the heavy snow.
Husband went out and measured the snow on top of the Trooper. It was 6" Looks like so much more. In some places it is more. We lost power last night about 11. Normally I wouldn't mind at all, except now we have well water. Which is run by an electric pump. So no power, no water. I have to have water, like all the time. We have wood heat, so we're ok there too. But water? That's scary. But it came back on a few hours later. I am SO thankful. My mom or Mrs. T never lost power either. I was so happy about that. If they did, I would have had no way to go get them. We are quite snowed in way out here.

Melted snow will flush a toilet. When we had a well in Maryland in years past we had to haul in the swimming pool water to flush when the power went out. We had a wood stove then too! Isn't backup heat wonderful? I sure don't miss the Baltimore nor'easters. Moved south and never looked back. You have had way too much weather this winter.
Maybe the dogs will roll in it and lose their stink? Just looking for a silver lining. Stay warm. :)
Dogs aren't going out there for more than a few minutes.
And wood heat is our only source of heat. We don't even bother turning on the electric heat pump. It just blows cold air. Worthless in these winters we have anymore here. I love wood heat, but not the mess. But I am thankful my husband is able to take care of all the wood. He is a good guy.
Well we had a heatpump in Baltimore County and that darn thing had a wind chill all it's own! Bah Humbug!! So wood really was our main source of heat.
Your pictures are so beautiful! Charlie looks like he's giving the weather report!
Mom, he loves to have his picture taken too. He's a mess.
Wow you are sure getting the snow. We have had a strangely mild winter in Southern Ohio. We have had no snow. Its been pouring rain and mild this winter. I miss the cold and snow.
I know the flies, ticks and fleas will be horrible this spring and summer. It's been way to mild and we are going to pay for it.
Beautiful pictures!
