15 INCHES.

We had THE storm during the night! It started off as rain and sleet, with tons of wind, and as you can see...SNOW, and lots of it! How about 15 inches so far (more expected later). Jeff and I were bothered in the night, because around 2:45 am, we lost power for about an hour. It was super quiet and blacker than black; and since I sleep with a white noise machine..I was alert the moment our power went out! Fortunately it came back on, but if it hadn't, no worries. One word...generator. In the night Jeff and I stepped out on our back deck to listen to our waterfall (once the power came back on). With the snow making it so still and quiet in the night, it was neat hearing the waterfall; when everybody was in their slumbers; we were outside taking in a peaceful moment. The pond held up well. It is just now icing over a bit, but nothing to crazy. Looking outside reminds me of how our winters are supposed to be. This late snow fall will most definitely help out our forests, lakes, dams, and keep our fire danger away. It should also make our Spring GREEN. So hello snow. Hello.
