The dead of winter

[morrow]

We had more down on the last two weekends than we did last winter.

Our projected one inch turned out to be seven.

I hadn't touched my snowblower since prepping it for the season in late October. Started right up!

The first couple of years I waited a bit too long to get out the snowblower; then I decided that a mere 3-4 inches was enough. Works faster that way.

We have spring weather in Germany now, a bit early, but who's complaining. Lots of rain and nature getting back into gear. Cleaned the shallow regions of the pond so they don't silt up too much when the season starts. There are three phases of pond vegetation: first year, you're happy anything grows at all, second year it's impressive, third year it's all too much and a pest!

More snow last night here , but nothing like the last two weeks. We had more down in the last two weekends than we had all last year.
