These were taken in the thick of things yesterday. The snow was just beautiful and we were glad to be safe, snug, and warm inside. The snow wrapped up around 8:00 p.m. or so, but the winds kicked up in the middle of the night and did some drifting. Not too bad though. The front steps were buried! My dream of being snowed in didn’t quite come true, but it was a good snow so I am not complaining!

This morning dawned bright and beautiful. Rick cleared the snow that had fallen since he cleared the drive just before dark last night and I shoveled the steps and behind the gate in case it doesn’t melt before we have a fuel oil delivery. I learned the hard way the first year we lived here and the fuel oil delivery man had to scramble over our fence with his hose because the snow behind the gate was frozen solid!

I took just a few photos of it piled up on some of the railings around the yard before the sun started to melt it away.

Believe it or not, I put on my boots and went down into the yard with my camera hoping to get some fun dog photos but I could not entice the dogs down into the yard! Only Bella came and she got bored with me pretty quickly. Lazy mutts.

Lovely photos!  The bird is my favorite, but I also love the fence!  So glad you got a good snow!

OMG! You got snow and it is so pretty! We have only had maybe 4 inches in the last few weeks and it is amazing to see how much the rest of the country has received. We do have more in the forecast for this weekend, but you know how that goes. Have fun with the dogs and for heavens sake, let them build a snow-dog.

glad you got your snow, and that your both at home safe and sound ready to sit back and enjoy it.  Love the photos!

Glad you finally got your snow! Hope you’re ready for the next one!

Gorgeous! Love the cardinal pic.

So glad you got some snow. I think a foot of snow is the perfect amount - another to be beautiful but not so much that it’s overwhelming.

Here in DC, 5 pm on Monday afternoon - it’s snowing again. All I can say is: wow.
