    I should have mentioned that underneath all that snow we got, there is a layer of rain that froze. Kinda like icing on a cake?

    Bummer, looks like the BLOB snow drifts this winter finally took out the trampoline. The drift was ~10' high, but the dirt/sand/silt between the layers of blown snow added weight too.

    I'll add the picture tomorrow when I can log in my phone, fingers don't navigate the phone thing.

    Red thing is burn barrel (some snow underneath the dirt around it), white thing is (was a trash can from kids on there in our milder winter), blue thing is/was a swinging bar from the old swingset that was descimated this winter :tears:

    The "sand dunes" in the back thate Eric Wanderweg said the dirt covered snow drifts looked like a few years ago are the same, just these are pretty melted down.

    16.

    Stopped snowing for now, I guess. Yeah, plowing once again today. Have to remember to cancel an appointment once that office opens; they are in central time zone and 3 hours away. Not worth it-driving through all the storm cleanup going on.

    Bad part is I'll have to play the waiting game for the next available time slot. :doh:

    No fire. 50 heading to 70 with storms and a front moving in, bringing cooler temps. Calling for much needed rain wed through sunday. Looking at the 14 day weather forecast, temps are mainly in 50s with outliners of a 78 and 42.
    Looks like we'll still be occasionally burning for next month.
