Winter Storm Update - from Cold Comfort Farm

I know that some of you will want to know how we are doing in this early winter storm, so I thought I'd give you an update.  Yesterday, we got about six inches, here are a couple of photos from our windows.
This pine tree is right outside my dressing room window - yesterday afternoon, the snow had just started to stick


I was seeing actual snowflakes, but the camera caught them as streaks
Last night, Mark attached the plow to the truck and plowed both driveways - or should I say the circle driveway.

This morning, we woke to this:

This is the living room window - looking north toward the windbreak
Up here they don't install gutters, so you get a lot of icicles


Same tree as yesterday - lots of snow
Through the day we got another 12" -  so we have about 18 inches total.  Mark plowed again this afternoon, here is a short video:



We've both been outside in this storm today - the average wind gusts were about 30 mph...the best part of today was that we didn't not HAVE to go anywhere, so we didn't.  Mark worked on inside jobs and I finally finished canning applesauce.  We now have about 60 jars of honey applesauce - I know we will all enjoy them.  Stay warm were you are and know that we are very toasty up here on Cold Comfort Farm!
