Feels cold, looks beautiful!

10:55 a.m. Jan. 14th

Clear, cold and sunny!

OK. I thought yesterday morning was cold.

How much colder could it get?

It was bitterly cold using the snowblower.  I started to use the shovel, but changed me mind.
The wind had scattered the snow across my freshly done driveway. After doing the back deck, I couldn't feel my baby fingers! Back indoors, I double-gloved, well, gloved underneath my heavy mitts. That helped. It's different than walking, as your hands are frozen to the snowblower handle!

This morning was a bit more frosty. I'm planning a walkabout. I think the snowshoes will be important. Double-gloves and face protection.

We have about a foot of snow.

It's not so bad if you keep moving.
Poor JB went out to feed frozen deer and fetch the paper.

Nice snow cover protects the plants

Trees are still droopy with the ice pellets that froze on their branches.

 

At our favourite pub they were worried.
Hope they managed a Tebow!

Yes, late lunch in the pub after a failed attempt to take photos at the Habitat Build. (Long story involving lack of steel-toed boots!)

One server at O'Reilly's was trying to duct tape brooms to long-handled implements in order to clear off the satellite receiver. He wouldn't let me take a photo! He was atop a ladder. (Been there done that– photo to prove it!)
What else can one do in subzero temps but watch TV?!

BTW
I had a question about ice pellets. Don't know the difference between that and freezing rain. But the pellets were not rounded like frozen rain, but squared off and angular!
