I am amazed at how quickly the snow is accumulating, already. I am sure we didn't have this much last year at this time.
I took these photos today.
If you compare them to the ones I posted below you can see the difference.
Especially in the one below, which was taken from inside the patio door. That is our bbq and chairs buried beneath that mountain of snow.
All this snow wouldn't be so bad if we owned a snow machine of some kind, or at the very least a pair of snow shoes. You have to be a winter sports fanatic to see the joy in all this, don't you think?
