Winter Sets In

This is the view from our bedroom door onto the deck this morning. The icicles concern me, as that means our roof is not as well-insulated as we understood it would be when we built this house. They are, however, pretty in the sunshine.
Out front, we've been spending some significant time plowing the driveway.

Me: "Husband, why was it again that we wanted our driveway built three cars wide?"
Our chimes look like they've been joined by the many icicles. I wonder, if I used a little hammer could I get different musical notes out of those icicles? I seem to remember a stalactite organ in one of the caverns we visited as tourists when I was a kid.
This is why I don't go out there and try. I'd get snow in my shoes. Some say we have 12 inches, some say fifteen. The web says it's zero degrees Fahrenheit out there this morning. And they're predicting another 4-6 inches of snow tonight.

I'm sort of feeling like I've moved back to Finland for the winter!

  1. You have had a lot of snow. Your icicle pictures are very pretty, even if they indicate an insulation problem. Just don't stand under them! We are waiting for more snow tonight as well.

  2. My goodness--you have all that snow. It's just not fair.
    Here we sit in central PA where we should have snow--but NO.
    Then places around the U.S.--e.g. California or Arizona--are getting snow.
    Not fair.
    But Merry Christmas anyway. And a happy New Year.
