The snow has melted, and it has been a relief to relax and recover from all of that shoveling. The dogs still needed to be walked, and meals had to be cooked. The dishes still needed to be done.
We are expecting two more storms this week. Most of us learned a lot of lessons from the last time. I have spent hours bringing in firewood. Having the wood heater going nonstop makes such a difference. Wood stoves and fireplace inserts require a lot of logs. It's time consuming, and you have to be organized.

This was my deck. After clearing the path and digging out my cars, I needed to remove the weight of this snow. It was such a satisfying feeling to clear it. I had to dig out my gas meter and pipes, too. People were having explosions due to gas leaks. It was just a tremendous amount of snow.

This photo really shows how it felt that week. I started to dig a path out to my firewood pile, but decided against it. There was too much to do. The snow on my upstairs balcony was piled up to my head. Fortunately, it has four spouts that drain it down to the deck, and it melted fairly quickly. All's well that ends well.

Here in Northern Alberta, we're enjoying lots of warm and sunny days. Our snow has been low this year and is currently melting away. Looking forward to seeing buds on trees and bushes soon. Keep well! X Chy
ReplyDeleteHow nice, Chy. I am looking forward to Spring, as well. I do love sitting by the fire, though.
DeleteOh, my goodness!! And more to come. I really hope it's not so bad and doesn't result in huge accumulations.
ReplyDeleteOver here in the UK a bit north of London, it's milding up nicely now with temperatures well above freezing, even at night, although we can get overnight frost right into May. Today it's dull and damp with drizzle/light rain predicted for much of the day. Just a bit boring, really. xx
That keeps your gardens green and lush, Joy. We had so much drought that any rain is a thrill.
DeleteMy goodness, Stephenie! All that snow! I saw it on the news, of course, but still, your photos really bring it home! I hope the next two storms won't bring quite as much snow! It's rainy, here, and more rain in the forecast. I'll take the rain over snow - I don't have to shovel it! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the rain, too, Bless. Glad you haven't experienced any flooding. We'll see how it goes this week...
DeleteIt looks so pretty, but I imagine day after day of clearing it and trying to get out and about is incredibly difficult for you. Today, the weather here is rainy and overcast. I'm looking forward to some warm spring days now. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt was challenging, Jules. It melted very quickly, though. I'm looking forward to warmer weather, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is some serious snow! It is surprising though how quickly it can all melt. I hope there was not too much flooding associated with the melt.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is, Christina. It is snowing again. We are prepared and sitting by the fire.
DeleteOh my goodness that is some snow. Lovely warm sunshine here today. Snuggle up by that fire. X
ReplyDeleteI know, Cherie. I bet your garden is enjoying that sunshine. It is getting warmer here, too.
