The snow has stopped but we have sub-freezing temperatures so there is no melting going on.<br /><br />Rudee - Yes, it will be good for the trees.<br /><br />Betsy - Yes, we built our house here because we REALLY did not expect this much snow. A typical year sees six inches here, a main reason we did not move to higher mountains. Last year was record-breaking and not usual at all. We did indeed check the annual snowfall before selecting this area.<br /><br />Troutbirder - Surprising that we also did not mind the snow all that much when we lived in WI. There, life goes on even with deep snow. Here everything grinds to a halt until the snow melts.<br /><br />Bug - At least we don't have to drive to work and for that I am thankful.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-5826206496503124502011-01-11T11:00:04.900-05:002011-01-11T11:00:04.900-05:00I don't love snow, but I do love how it looks....I don't love snow, but I do love how it looks.

We lived all of our lives in a somewhat mild climate so I'm thankful to be here and also very thankful we don't have to go to work in this. We are hoping that within several years we might possibly be able to get a small condo in a warm climate like Arizona for winters so he can be happier but then I'll be sad missing the grandkids. Oh well, stay in and stay in, have some wine and watch movies.<br />Hugs, NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3906718086309436335.post-19468683988652445942011-01-10T16:29:41.389-05:002011-01-10T16:29:41.389-05:00It looks very very cold.
