snowfall – Page 2 – New England's Narrow Road

Wednesday the northeast has some nasty weather. Many places saw a little snow and then it turned to rain, but where I live in the hills north of Mt. Monadnock, we had all snow. About a foot and a half of it!

It was the nasty, heavy wet stuff that was a pain to shovel and weighed down the hemlock trees.

Roxy in the snow — My neighbor's black lab loved it!

The dog had a blast chasing my snowballs. By the end of the day the snow depth was over my knees in the yard.

This is an early measurement. We got about 4 inches more after this…

high snow — Basement slider- I won't be using this door any time soon

The metal roof on this house emptied the snow off like it’s suppose to, but that meant lots more shoveling.

It is Thursday- the day after- as I post this and we are getting lots of rain on top of all this snow and flood watches are in effect. My friends in Florida sent me photos on Facebook of their trip to St. Lucia. It looked pretty nice.

We got a bunch of snow last Wednesday. I shoveled off and on all day between digging out the cars (I don’t have a garage) and clearing the deck and steps.

The house I rent has a new metal roof, which my landlord loves becuase now the snow just slides right off…and it did. Overnight the entire load of about a foot of snow slid off the roof – it’s loud too! So I woke up to find that my cleared deck was loaded with a couple of feet of firmly packed snow.

My son helped me clear it, since my back was aching from the day before, but my wood pile is half burried as well and there is no more using the front door – just the back. But the roof is clear!
