On 11/9/11 we got 4 inches of wet snow and high winds, our first snow. Knocked our power out for 8 hours. Then yesterday we got another half inch or so and the power was out again for most of the morning, I think the electric company was improving their temporary repairs from the night before. Even with the temps in the 20s and the wind howling, the old woodstove kept us nice and toasty in the dark!
Here is a short video during the height of the storm:
Snowflakes:
My snowy backyard:
The trail leading from the backyard to the woods and beyond:
Our last bit of Fall color:
Yup, more snowflakes! It was really coming down for most of the day:
One of the local potato farms was hauling potatoes all day. Not a good day to do it:
My clothesline. I didn't hang the laundry outside, needless to say. All the power lines looked even worse than this, which is why our power went out:
Today there was still a little snow that hadn't melted yet, but it was going almost as fast as Snoopy was on our walk:
P.S.
We finally got high speed fiber optic Internet way out here in the woods! WHOO HOO!
