It was a lovely storm Feb. 26/27th!Lots of wind, and it was hovering around zero.
I knew it was getting colder, so I went out to shovel the back deck, and I'm glad I did. It had been warmer, so the snow changed over to slush.
I knew I had to get going on it before the temperatures fell. At that point, the slush freezes in the auger, and it is game over.
The snow blower managed most of it. I cleverly emptied the auger of the slush with a tool.
It's back below zero and it's not going anywhere.
Our poor, droopy white pines.







My camera fogged up indoors. I thought this a lovely photo, though.

The wind howls across the roof out the kitchen window. Our friends went back into the forest.
