We are off to a great start on an old fashioned winter. We've had two rounds of significant snow already and we're gearing up for another
It had already started this morning when I headed out for my walk. It isn't too cold but it is windy and the wet snow is being plastered against everything. It's pretty. Especially when viewed from indoors.
This time we are expecting 1 to 2.5 feet of lake effect from an Alberta clipper developing into a nor'easter, but this cold is going to dip down and also give much of the mid-west and some of the deep south a good chance of significant snowfall.
Our forecast also includes 40 mph winds which will blow the snow around and suddenly we are looking at blizzard conditions. We've had quite a bit of wind earlier this week with trees down and power outages in some parts of the county. Of course we have to endure our share of downed trees.
This one fell Sunday night. Thankfully it did not fall across the trail to the back property so it doesn't have to be dealt with immediately. But naturally it did have to make a nuisance of itself.
The top hit the area where we have been storing some leftover pavers and bricks and some extra wire fencing. It is only about fifty feet from our bonfire area, but they are fifty very muddy feet so we are hoping for some more cold but clear weather which will give us hard, frozen ground but no snow or wind to complicate things.
There will never be a shortage of campfire wood on this property.
