Every winter I look out the window at a table in the back yard to see how much snow has fallen. After worrying about whether we'd get a white Christmas we finally got more than a dusting on January 21.

The picture above shows the table on January 22.

The picture on the right is on February 2.




Three days later the table is almost completely covered.





Finally on February 11 it's out of sight. The snow pile at the end of the driveway is getting bigger, too. I would estimate the snow to be about three feet deep.





Yesterday, February 17 it was a little warmer. In the afternoon it got up to 43 degrees and the melting started. Now I can see my table again. This was taken at 1 o'clock today. When Ichecked the thermometer at 6:45 this morning it was 37 degrees.







This was taken three hours later. I may put out the patio furniture tomorrow.
