1. Good grief, my dear Will!
Be careful, OK?

4. 60.5 inches of snow so far.
This guy:



...has been banging around the neighborhood on this 4-wheeler that has a plow attached, blasting through snowbanks, cleaning off everyone's driveways and sidewalks. He is a living God...but look to the left and right of him. That wall of snow in front of the road is up to my chin (I took this from my porch).

Yeah, that's the deal here. It's getting surreal.

3. Those things have been known to KILL people!
But probably not from basement level.

13. Thank goodness!
I have a fine collection of icicles here too. My friend's b-day is tomorrow and is expecting guests for the weekend. One of her gifts from me will be organic swizzle sticks. Not sure how to wrap them though. Hmmm...

10. They're hanging off a little shed-roof
over the outside entrance to the basement stairway. They're about 4 feet off the ground. No danger. I took the pic from inside the basement, looking up the stairs, under the roof.

11. Was in the middle of an ice storm
The most spectacular sight an eye can see in nature. Trees bowed in heavenly delight under the new sun.. Didn't do good for the powerlines and such though.
