We are on the good side of winter. Sunrise is earlier, and the sun, when it is out, has a warmth to it. My orchid is setting buds, again. Happy dance! They say not to put it in full sun, but the winter sun seems good for it. It is snowing again this morning, which is why the photos give me hope.
They didn't seem to know how much snow we'd get. We had a delivery Sunday afternoon and he said the driveway was OK. I left alone. Monday, my trusty blower was waiting for me! We had had more snow than expected and it required removal. I started her up and all went well.
Both the back deck and the middle deck were covered. The middle deck will have to melt.
I had to use my snowshoes later on to fetch trailcam SD Cards. I haven't been down there in a week.

Also, Caitlin did a walk by herself. I have evidence on two cameras!Caitlin Feb 18 from Jennifer Jilks on Vimeo.

Nice looking snow. And my orchid bloomed early this winter, when the long winter sun shone in the windows. It's no longer doing so, but temps are still very cold at night (for here). Days are warmer.
The sun is out here today and it feels lovely to look out and see a blue sky.
It has probably been awhile already, but for the first time yesterday, I noticed light before 7AM.
The snow looks extraordinarily pretty in your photos, but I know what hard work it must be to clear everything. I love those snowshoes and the videos show how much they are needed up your way.
p.s. yay on your orchid!
This snow was nice and fluffy. I managed to make a trail all the way to the road. Our neighbour kindly came by yesterday with his plow truck. We are truly thankful.
' The Cedar Corridor" that sounds so interesting, could be a book title. Snowshoes, how life has such a contrast between where we each live, as your days get more sunshine, so our mornings are a lot darker at 6 a.m.In the far south, some ski fans do have a separate set of winter tyres.
Isn't it nice to wake up and not pitch dark? Your sun is looking great! Yes, the better end of winter.
Oh wow! That's a lot of snow. Our orchids are not showing signs of blooming yet.
Beautiful snow and sunshine! When do you typically thaw out? That's nice you share the clearing, dang rotator cuffs take forever to heal.
I always think snow can look so nice ...
I enjoyed seeing you and Caitlin walking :)
All the best Jan
...I feel created, what little snow that we received has melted.
