I have just come in from clearing my driveway with the snowblower. I am too tired to paint or do much of a blog, so I dug out this photo to show. I took it four days ago when we first began to get this series of snowfalls. It shows the sky just beginning to open up after a snowstorm.
Last night’s snowfall pretty much doubled the amount of snow on the ground, so we have about 9 inches (23 cm). Over the last few days I have cleared my driveway several times in an attempt to deal with it while it is easy to do, before the snow gets too deep, packed, and more difficult to remove.
At present, the weather forecast predicts that the ‘Snow” is over and we will just be getting flurries instead. I am pleased that we did get this last dump snow. It relieves my concern about it being so dry.
Online, I checked the Snow Pillow (an instrument that measures the weight of snow that has fallen on the mountains) reading, and was happy to see that the amount of snow up on our mountains, is just a tad lower than its normal range. I had feared it would be another record-breaking low amount, like last year.
