The Blizzard of 2010 Part Dos

Just when we thought 26 inches was great, and dug ourselves out by Sunday morning, Round Two hit on Tuesday. It snowed from about 5 pm Tuesday until about 2 or 3 pm on Wednesday, amounting to another 10 inches. This second blizzard was very windy- we had gusts up to 40 mph, and it was something to see the huge, snow-laden trees on our street bouncing and swaying. We never lost power, thank God, and weathered the storm without much trouble. We really can't believe this winter- I mean, we wanted some seasons, and we sure got them. Spring will be triply sweet this year. Here are some pics from our Snowpocalypse, as they are calling it up here. (They are also saying the Vancouver Olympics should be moved here- they are having to cart in snow up there. I think we got all their snow here.)


The lovely holly tree outside my kitchen window was a-flutter with little birdies all through the storm. I am glad I put out some feeders. I love sitting by my sink and watching the different ones. Here you can see a Black-capped chickadee and some type of creeper. There is a woodpecker that comes every morning, and we also see Tufted Titmice, Cardinals, and Juncos.

Snow way!


Say it isn't snow!


Rootie on the mountain of snow at the foot of the driveway.


Two icicles for licking. Ruthie is standing in between our van and the house.
