We got dumped on yesterday.

Bare ground to this in a day.

Well, Jeanne can now try out her new snowshoes.

We got dumped on too but it's much too warm where we are for it to turn white.

Crystals.

Many, many crystals.

I miss the snow

Jason, I'm happy to send your some of ours!

My drive home that normally takes about 15 minutes took an hour! And the drive in the next day was no better. Next time I'm giving up fuel economy to get a heavier car. The fiesta just slides way too easy, even with snow tires.

Looking at the bird bath, looks like about 15"?

I never actually measured it but I would say that or more.

My wife tried out her new snowshoes & even though they are sized to her weight she sank to her knees. Methinks she would be better off with her old wood frame & gut ones which are much larger.

We just had a few days of heavy rain and my backyard flooded a little (no damage). It's not as pretty as snow, but I didn't have to shovel ant of it.

I seem to recall they make different snowshoes for different kinds of snow. For light, fluffy snow, you need big snowshoes, for packed or ice, you need small, for snow in woods and lots of underblush, they need to be long and narrow... When I went to an aboriginal exhibition, there was one person making the snowshoes from wood and rawhide, and he explained to me the various types that he made and why they were the shape/size that they were. Right tool for the job/conditions.
