How much snow?

Hello,

 

Some where there is a site that would tell me how much snow we have had, but I must not do the right search. Generally, I find a history and not the day’s amount. This is more of a history report, but quite close to home. Our downstairs friends measured the snow in the front yard. It was fifteen inches deep. That is from three snow falls with some melting in between. Seems quite impressive! It is now a serious question of where to put the snow when it is removed. We have been wheel barrowing the ally snow to the back yard. Leroy commented yesterday, “It will be a long time before you can get to the clothes line.”

 

This morning, Leroy speculated about the snow melt and flooding. Snow is good for soil moisture if it melts in an orderly fashion.

 

On our walk in the neighborhood last night we saw some beautiful sights. Building light was shinning on a shorter tree that was not damaged by the derecho. There was a wonderful round shape that caught glistening snow and ice in its branches. Many street lights are still not repaired, but there was reflecting cloud cover, light from porches, etc. creating a wonderful night glow.

 

We decided our block should get the cleared sidewalk award. It was wonderful to get back to it after going on some that had considerable snow, which from time to time convinced us to walk in the cleared street. I am privileged to have three pair of boots to choose from to traverse the wild piles.
