Yesterday we had an amazing amount of snow. I don't think I have witnessed this amount of snow in one day before. I was supposed to get to work, but there was no way I could get out. The drive was full of snow and each time we cleared any part around the house, it filled up again as if we hadn't been there.
Today I had to go to work again, but as it rained slightly last night & the temperature had risen we thought it would be a simpler job. No chance. Because of the changes the snow was more solid and heavier to move. And it didn't seem as if it had reduced by any great amount.
Phil started plowing early and it took ages just to make an impression on the drive. Then we heard the snow plough come up the road & it did sound as if it was moving a lot of stuff. Had the plough not been up our road & we got cleared to our gate, we still could not have got out! It looks like we have luge runs every where with the snow walls on each path!
One thing we have noticed, when the snow has this amount of 'moisture' in it there is a blueness to the vastness of it. If we look into a crease in the snow it shows a delicate blue colour. But there has to be a lot of it to show this - and we have a lot of it.
The picture shows the snow at our door about 10.30 last night.
