4 BLIZZARDS -- OFFSPRING OF WINTER

4 BLIZZARDS -- OFFSPRING of WINTER

We have had 4 Blizzards so far this winter.
And it's very possible we may have more!
We're going on 80 inches of snow.
Who could have imagined it!

4BLIZZARDS -- and each one unique...

just like children





BLIZZARD # 1 December 19, 2009
PRECOCIOUS!!! Arriving a few days before the official start of winter. Lots of heavy snow, but welcomed by many to set the atmosphere for Christmas!


Then a break between the 1st and 2nd of a few weeks.



BLIZZARD # 2 February5/6, 2010
BIG andBOLD!!! A sizable child

over 2 feet of snow,
filling up our driveways, decks and roofs;
beautiful in its massiveness!!!









BLIZZARD # 3 February 9/10, 2010

ALMOST A TWIN Coming just 4-5 days

after Blizzard # 2. Massive in size,

almost as big;

a layer of sleet in its middle.

Beautifully dense snow pasting

everything like papier mache!







BLIZZARD # 4 February 25/26...2010

Unexpected SURPRISE

Late Bloomer.....Full of Bluster

Snow - Tiny, crystalline - like granulated sugar

Reminiscent of "March of the Penguins"

Tests our patience
