A Month of Snow



27 January 2011

How much was it this time? Around sixteen inches? We haven't seen the ground since the day after Christmas. This morning sure was pretty, though.




This is a Christmas tree we planted a handful of years ago. The rope at the bottom left was meant to keep a little pitch pine from doing a back-bend in the storm, but it didn't work.

I usually try to gauge the depth of a snowfall by looking out of the kitchen window at the deck railing.

Our neighbors put up a fence a decade ago. Ivy is taking over.

This is the last picture I was able to take before the memory card ran out of space, almost exactly two years to the day from when I bought my first point-and-shoot digital camera:

Unrelated to today's snowstorm, this is a view from the Egyptian exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City last Saturday:
