The Last of the Big January Snowstorms

Snow. We've had so much of it this year- in January in particular. Now that February is nearly over and all this snow has started melted and looking gross and muddy, I am starting to miss it. So here, for posterity. The gorgeous snow at our hideaway in the woods:

Piling up on the deck railings...
My car in under there somewhere...


This is my favorite little clearing, to the left side of the driving (when you're driving in), the spot previously occupied by Bill's old Honda.... It always seems enchanting to me, but always even moreso when its caked in snow.
Peeking at the house as you round the bend of the driveway. Seems so tucked in, doesn't it. Like the snow is literally a blanket. I love our home.
My car. Handling the snowy season very well.
As is the plow. Trusty little guy. We are so thankful for all your hard work.

A little color (one pink scarf) peeking out of my black coat as I look down at my snowy, sturdy boots...
Snowy tires. Ready for another ride.
The snow and ice on the roof!
Wood waiting to keep us warm. We haven't had to turn the heat on even once this year! Granted last year we only used it a few times to take the edge off a cold morning shower routine... but still. Not to have used it at all seems like a feat of some kind. I'm much better at building and maintaining the fire this year which is definitely an accomplishment. I hope I don't lose it all again come next winter!
