We had a late, great Fall this year. The leaves were beautiful, the weather nice and we really didn't have any bad weather until mid December. When it did come, it came in like a lion and we have had lots of snow since them. Notice the mailbox and how the snow practically comes to the top of the pole. This is after we have shoveled it many times. The snow plow didn't help as he pushed the snow up into it every day. The snow really is this deep though. We have large boulders along our sidewalk and boxwood bushes that are a couple of feet high, but you see no sign of them here. You will also notice the tall grass in the bottom picture.....well that is still there but you can barely see the tip of it. The roads are clear today, January 13th, but the driveway still has packed snow and ice since we face the north. We have been stuck twice trying to back out. Our snow pack on the mountains is finally up to "norm" which it hasn't been for several years now so we will be grateful, but if the next two months are the same I am buying a ticket to someplace warm. My older bones don't like this much and I fear falling again.

Remember what June looked like?
