We had an extra foot yesterday and there's another lot due for tomorrow night. It's very hard to walk now.
Joni manages, but I thought I was going to be sick when I got back today, it was such an effort. All the familiar landmarks are gone, buried deep. We are walking in the tree branches maybe more than 4 feet above the ground. And that's on the level surface, not on the snow banks that are above 10 feet high. The picnic tables are so far under the surface there's absolutely no sign of them. Hills and valleys are now the same. Without snow shoes I could not have gone at all.
For the first time I thought "this is not as fun as it looks".

I'll keep my fingers crossed!!!
+Jenn Camforth we all just wish it were over. It's still coming down – the snow I mean.
+Ursula Klepper we have to wait and see if the ice melts and then if the ceiling will need to be fixed. They had to put a lot of salt into the ice to try to melt it from the roof and gutters. So far there is no more water coming in. We hope maybe the ceiling will shrink back once the water is gone and maybe just need to be painted.
That sounds awful very worrying.
Oh no! your new kitchen damaged!!! :o(
Thanks so much +Ursula Klepper – we have had another 25 cms of snow more. Steven is trying to put it someplace now. He can't lift it above the drifts any longer so is having to just pile it into a part of the drive. We can't afford to have it melt too quickly of course or we would have other problems. We even have had water come in our roof now and running down across our new kitchen ceiling under the plaster and down the inside of the window. They think they might have fixed the problem. Ice was building up on the roof and pushing up the shingles. Then it was running down through the roof and the walls and coming out in the kitchen. 🙁
Oh no!! I so hope you are safe and warm and have enough to eat and are healthy!! This does not sound good! It is so hard to immagine how it looks like when you are walking in the tree branches. I have to send you some warm winds to melt the snow away! Hugs!!
I looking for women
+Karen Cooper we will do. I'm so glad to hear that somewhere normal spring things are happening.
+Jenn Camforth I know. I lived in the UK for 21 years and I always said that I missed the obvious differences in the seasons. Now I'm thinking "Oh! To be in England now that Spring is here!"
Great idea +Linda Jess – you go first. Besides, as we said yesterday, the hills and valleys are all levelled out now. 😀
+Dale Chou it is a lot and +Nikki C it has become a nightmare from being a bit of an adventure. At least I don't have to climb a ladder onto the roof to get rid of the build up of ice…
Thanks a lot +Sumit Sen and +Shelly Gunderson
+Sandra Parlow and +Bette Kauffman Spring had better come soon… or else!
+Hai Vu thanks. We are due for something more again on Saturday. Just discovered a build up of ice that has got water coming into our new kitchen, down the wall (not a happy situation).
Wow – more snow !!! I've just been in the garden planting out some spring plants and clearing the beds ready for summer. Keep warm and safe.
we will have some markers back soon I hope. We need to take a toboggan and see we can coast off some of those banks.
Sounds awful. We complain non stop about our weather here but in fact we're fortunate to not have any great extremes.
I do hope that it ends soon for you. It sounds like a nightmare over there.
Stay safe.
Wow… That is a lot of snow!
Wow, +Ellie Kennard. So hope spring comes for you soon!
wow.. you guys sure are getting a load!! hopefully it will end soon!
Wow. So sorry you are getting all that. Hope it improves soon.
Here is hoping that the conditions will improve soon.
Oy, I don't envy you guys on the East coast. Hope this is the last of this ❄
+Edward Fisher be careful. You're not too far away (on the same continent, at least) and we can put it on a train and ship it out to you. We're running out of places to put it all. 🙂
It's got beyond a joke now.
+Alex Lapidus it's as if she's swimming almost. We're coping, but it's a terrible time waster when
Steve spends several hours every day just moving the stuff around. Thanks for asking. Good memories of summer just came to me in a flood.
We haven`t seen a single flake of snow this winter and I`m loving it that way !
How are Joni's tunneling skills? I hope you guys are doing okay.
yes… it arrived here just last week!!!
+Diana Boyd spring? Does that season still exist?
bummer… I am so glad it has turned spring in Cincinnati
