I've cut a path across the back yard so the pup could get out in the yard to do her business (snow too deep for a newf to cross). Getting dumped on today and had to shovel it out again. What a winter so far....
Building that wood shed just outside the breezeway entrance two years ago was the smartest thing I have ever done. The light in it was the second. Wish I had done it twenty years ago.
ETA: And building a genny shed on the end of it. When this happened in 2010 and the power was out for seven days I had to dig out to the wood stacks four times and to the genny shed three times.

Theres a point where that much snow must start to work as insulation.
It's been a crazy winter. Cold and snow. The wind was just ripping today but I had to just stand and watch for a while. Was pretty beautiful. Until I picked up the shovel. 
2-4 inches tonight, gusts up to 40mph. I got up to check the chimney (double-walled stainless that goes up on the south side of the house and installed in October). Snow blowing in AROUND the sliding door frame (not the opening door part). I guess fixing the door is added to the 'to do' list.

I am a winter over summer guy for sure but this silly zero and negative temp stuff is getting really old "fast"! Give me 20-25 degrees and I am in my happy place but brutal bitter is just rude. You people in Duluth are tough!
The up side - I have lots of wood and the 30 doesn't mind at all.

Talking to a friend today who said he had heard this was the first of seven winters like this, this pattern won't change for six more years.
I might change my mind about building a house in Ontario and come back to the south.

The extreme cold helps get rid of bugs, I think the snow insulates them and protects them.........look at the bright side, it will help get rid of some of the bugs
