It wasn’t fun clearing the driveway when the strong winds filled snow back in due to the blizzard conditions which whipped the snow around causing big drifts which even snowplow trucks couldn’t get through. The snow danced across the landscape and the trees became white again.
Snow White Trees
More snow is falling from the sky tonight and earlier snow was falling off my roof as I tried to rake some of the deep snow off. If the weather ever warms up, there will be a lot of water running. But right now when I am inside my house, it looks like I am at the bottom of the waterfall as the snow is piled too high to see out of my windows.
Little Manitou Falls
The landscape was extra white looking between the recent snows and the frosty trees this morning, so still no hint of spring yet.
Frosty Limbs
Red barns stand out against the white December snow like this one, but now that the snow has increased its depth by three feet this February, I prefer to see them surrounded with green grass.
Red Barn with Little Snow
The sun may peek out tomorrow to shine on the new thick layer of snow. The woodchuck’s prediction may be way off this year as it doesn’t look like any wildflowers will be blooming any time soon. It is even hard to find some old plants still above the snow depth.
Old Bull Thistle Head
As the sun went down today, the February “super snow moon” rose in the east, since the moon is very close to the earth tonight and February full moon are know as snow moons and this February has definitely been a snowy month.
Sun Down
The birds have been eating a lot of sunflower seeds lately, but it will be months before new plants will be blossoming to produce more seeds for them.
Waiting for More Sunflowers
With all the February snow, whenever spring comes that the woodchuck promised, I think my lawn will look like a river with the amount of snow that has to melt.
Flowing Water
Some of the houses have large icicles forming from their roofs from all the recent snow starting to melt but at least they aren’t quite as big as these icicles along Lake Superior shoreline.
Curtain of Icicles
The sun hasn’t melted all the snow off the trees yet and definitely not off my roof. Even shaking some of the limbs wouldn’t dislodge the snow from the tree branches.
Snow Hanging On
