The snow was wildly uneven, which seems to be the way of it around here. The county to the east of us (Whitley) got way over a foot. Their roads are closed, and everything is shut down. We ended up with around 7 to 8 inches, and our roads are in reasonably good condition, all things considered. Main roads are mostly clean, secondaries are fairly clean with a bit of drifting. I saw one poor guy earlier digging his FWD truck out of the ditch in front of his house. It looked to me like he just misjudged where the driveway was, and missed it. It's days like these where I'm grateful for my ancient concrete bollards. They do at least show you where to aim.

Because it's largely flat and open here, most of the snow blew away, but collected in dunes in the lee of any obstruction. Some of the more impressive ones are over my head.

Today I had three Crows visit to dig peanuts out of the snow. And they're back again as I write. Peanuts seem to be the keys to their hearts :)

Snow!

Drove home in a snow storm. Stressful driving (although not nearly as bad as I've seen), but when I'm home, and step out of the car... Everything is white, and all the sounds are muffled. It is so lovely outside!
