The Return of Winter

The snows returned on New Year's Eve day, and by the dawning of 2014 we were once again white. Well, somewhat. As is typical down here, the fluffy stuff gets unevenly deposited amidst the raging winds.....and then re-distributed every few hours thereafter. We end up with bare grass in some places, and waist-high drifts in others.

I know, stop complaining.....say our friends who suffer through waist-high or worse snow EVERYWHERE. Not complaining, merely reporting the facts.   :)

Shovelled out Pennywise, whose pen was not only fully drifted but whose house was also somewhat affected. We decided to heap snow over one end and totally block off that exit, all the better to keep prying winds out and body heat in.

Very pretty, especially with today's sunshine. Reminds me of rippling seas or undulating sand dunes when you watch the drifts literally move over the span of a few minutes. A better photographer than I might attempt to capture some form of time lapse magic.
