The television meteorologists were all wrong!  We were supposed to get up to 7″ of snow, and instead we got about 12″—and it’s still coming down, heavier than ever!  This is a February snowstorm, wet and heavy.  Luckily we were able to cancel our plans and call it a “snow day”, so a stay-at-home day for us.

Here is a photo of our front walk two days ago.

And here is our front walk now.

And here was our stand of spruce trees on Thursday.

And this is how our backyard is looking today.

The birds get so hungry during a snowstorm.  Luckily the bird feeder is full of sunflower seeds.

The magnolia tree is loaded with snow.

The red crab apples are barely noticeable now.

I think we’ve gotten a few more inches in the time it took me to write this blog post.  Geez, we still have another month of autumn!

Bye for now (from the north pole, just kidding)!
