Six inches ago....

...this was the view of my back deck.

Through the Back Door View onto my deck from inside the back door. That mound? There's a gas grill underneath. At least there was when it started snowing. That ridge along the back? That's the snow on top of the 4-foot fence surrounding the deck. In my less than informed but still somewhat knowledgeable opinion, it's a miracle my deck is still standing.

Click on the image to get to the Toad Woods gallery and then advance for six more pictures of snow, an icicle then and now, and a look at a resourceful oil delivery person....

There's an entire mountain range of plowed snow at the bottom of my driveway, and the side of the drive is lined with many other peaks. This year's snow leaves me extraordinarily grateful that I've never lived in Buffalo.

Do you have any insulation in your attic? I just ask because those are big icicles you have there.

The parts of my attic that are attic are insulated. The mansard roofline comes right down to wall along the sides, and even the attic is a short top-of-the-house crawl space at its best.

Doesn't everything look cleaner and sillier when covered with snow?

We have a compost bin that after that big storm in December looks like a cone-head.
