Winter Fun at Plow Mountain

Plow Mountain Click on through for the full effect. Well, as best as I could capture. Eight pix in all.

And here's the quick link to all 8 thumbnails and the big icicle from earlier today, too.

LOL, Geri, for calling it Plow Mountain. Having recently returned home to Minneapolis from Colorado, I look at that and think: wow! look at all that water "on deposit" to nourish the coming spring. As well as, gee! I hope it isn't too much of a hassle for you or others. Hoping it is indeed winter fun and not "too much fun." Have a great day!

Thanks. Given that I live on well water, yeah, I should be appreciative, too. But I'm still stuck on sheer awe.

The winter before I moved into the cabin in the mountains in the woods at 9005' in the Colorado Rockies, the residents there in at least two counties got to enjoy(?) a snowfall overnight of 8-9 FEET of snow, snow up to the EAVES of many cabin homes. Naturally, neighborhoods had to band together to purchase collectively back-hoes to dig them out. My final winter there, my little cul-de-cas had to do the same (renting the services of someone with a back-how) though the snowfall was far less impressive, only 4-5 feet of the some of the most beautiful water crystals I'd ever seen, and the forest that early spring bloomed like a garden. It was neat!

Oops! typos! hope you can read thru them e.g. cul-de-sac.

Hmmm. Yeah. You might need to dynamite if you want mudroom access.

Mudroom Access

Do you read Deb Geisler's LJ? Seems to me if we all do it, the cops won't be able to arrest us all. And those they do arrest won't have to shovel snow for awhile. Win-win.

Yikes! Hope you're staying warm.

So far, so good.

And there are fireplaces for backup if need be. Or for just plain beauty, but I'm not spending enough time in my living room or awake in my bedroom to appreciate one.

You..

Can build a snowman! A really big snowman!

Or lots and lots (and lots and lots) of little tiny ones....

Then I could cackle madly as the little guys lost their way in all this snow. Or I could just go straight to the cackling madly. It's frightfully close from here.

Whoa, that is serious stuff. When David and I lived in MA, all the snow was in Mpls; now it's the other way around.

To the best of my memory, it's the first time I've ever felt intimidated by the sheer quantity of snow around me.

[threeringedmoon.livejournal.com]

That is an impressive amount of snow.

Yikes. I know where you live. When *you* say it's an impressive amount of snow, it's somehow even more real.
