Near the End

Here are the last pictures of the ice and snow...

Our blocked driveway.  These branches were all coated with ice-but that didn't stop M from driving right through them, much like an icy car wash!

M on the deserted road, salvaging next winter's firewood.  The pick-up van will never be the same.

Walking the 10 acre parcel to check for downed trees.  We lost a few, but that's okay. 

The snow is slowly melting away and the snowman fell a few days ago.  It has been pouring down rain, completely saturating the soil with rain and snow melt.  Great.  Just in time for the excavator to come in a few days and turn the backyard into a big, muddy pit.  But at least I can run the dishwasher again!  And I've heard that big winds are blowing in tonight, so I'm getting ready for more power outages!
