The photo of our house is also from 2004 during the midst of a snowstorm. Just below it, you see a blue tarp over a farm wagon. The wagon held tons of corn which we burned in our corn stove. 
Since 2004 the price of corn has gone up and it's cheaper to heat with electricity. We only use the corn stove if the power goes off for several hours. Then we can get 4-8 hours of warming from the stove and then the batteries running the fan need recharging.
The next shot was taken at the historic townsite at Fayette where snow had melted and started to slip off a porch rail, and then frozen into the interesting curve with two tiny icicles at the bottom.
The very last shot is from 2012 and shows our woodland trail after a snowstorm on Dec. 22. I cross-country ski this trail when the snow is fresh. After that, we pack it down and walk it every day with our dogs.How do you feel about winter? Love it? Hate it? Participate in winter sports? Please leave a comment!
Donna, I love your Yooper pictures! It makes me want to head north where you actually have snow. Here in West Michigan we have very little snow, only a slight groundcovering. I'm missing those old fashioned blizzards from times gone by!
ReplyDeleteNancee,
DeleteI'm still getting used to the "new normal" climate. During winter here from 2003-2008 we would get lots of snow and cold temperatures. For the last three years we've had little snow and only a few days below 20 degrees. As I write this, our snow is melting and predicted to continue melting through the weekend. Then we'll be back to bare ground. I'd rather have ski weather!

Snow is not something I know, but beauty I can see. And this is wonderfully amazing.
ReplyDeleteBy us it is summer, but we have had very few hot days. Until a week ago I still had a blanket on the bed. Maybe we are having some of your cold ;o)
I love snow photos but not snow.
