Up here in NW WI, we didn’t get the ice, so there’s nothing so purty to take pics of. Just about a foot more snow than there was yesterday morning.
My neighbor plowed out my driveway this morning, though! I was all set to get offended, but he said he didn’t want to have to chip me out after I’d frozen into a popsicle while trying to blow out the snow in the -40 wind chill. They don’t drink, so I guess I’ll have to smoke them some ribs or something.
“-40 wind chill”
Ouch. You’d have 3 minutes before frost bite starts setting in.
Stay warm.
There just isn’t anything quite like a big, pretty snow. Everything’s entirely different, even the sounds or lack thereof: like hearing your favorite color. For just that one second when you perk up and listen to to the hush of a snow, you don’t even breathe. And if it’s still snowing, or blowing, you can hear the snowflakes falling on trees, twigs and ground.
It really didn’t turn to ice. It went from rain to snow almost immediately. So, the snow just adhered to the trees which added weight. You should have seen some of our birch trees, their branches were dragging on the ground. Not one of them broke.
