Here We Go Again

Last winter broke all previous records for snowfall, so we figured that perhaps we would get a respite this year - no such luck! More records broken two days ago for the most snowfall in one storm, in 24 hours, etc. Above is photo from guest house toward Highway 57.

There is a pond here, but I had to divert the pump directly back into the pond, rather than continue charging the waterfall. Temperatures had dipped below zero (earliest cold I can remember here), so the little 100 watt pond heater was not able to keep a hole open in the ice.

I had left some of the patio furniture out, to perhaps have a final outdoor fire, but that seems doubtful now. The raised beds will soon be completely hidden.
