A real snow job.

I went to bed last night at 1AM with no snow falling. I woke up this morning at 9:30 to 18". It is still snowing now, at 1:12 PM.

It's now an A-frame birdhouse. (click to embiggen)

My poor Jeep. (click to embiggen)

On the news this morning, they posted the NW Arkansas-area seasonal snow fall records since 1940:
25.8" in 2009 - 2010
25.0" in 1977 - 1978
22.5" in 2002 - 2003
21.2" in 1947 - 1948
19.5" in 1959 - 1960

We've set a new record. And winter isn't even over yet.

There's a bench under that tree. Somewhere. (click to embiggen)

The house isn't so white. (click to embiggen)

I'm so ready for Spring.

Until next time...

Wow- you guys really did get a lot. I'm guessing you didn't go to the studio today.

  Definitely didn't go to the studio today. Actually, I can't even get out of where I live today. The snow is 2' deep now. And since I live out in the sticks, the roads don't get scraped here.

With the snow, your Jeep looks almost like a cute little steam engine.

  All it needs is a little stovepipe and then it could be the little-Jeep-that-could.

how exciting !
we used to have a 'snow meter' which we stuck in the ground in autumn; we could see how many inches of snow there was by how much was buried.
Our snow meter now stands in our backyard - but it seems broken; no snow yet x 5 years, alas.

you drive my absolute dream car - a yellow wrangler.

  It's actually a wee bit older than the Wrangler line. It's a 1969 CJ-5. I need to replace the carburetor on it, so it's been sitting idle for bit.
