Earlier this morning I went out to clean up the driveway. It was 12°F and I needed to rearrange some of the 15 1/2" inches of fresh snow that fell yesterday. It only took a little more than two hours. I did snowblow for more than 1 mile, and I'll have to do some more work on it later. But the cars are cleared and the driveway is driveable, more or less. This time of the year, the sun is higher in Continue Reading...
It's Only March
Earlier this morning I went out to clean up the driveway. It was 12°F and I needed to rearrange some of the 15 1/2" inches of fresh snow that fell yesterday.

Then today, with the wind whipping, hard and cold out of the northwest, I decided to get up on my roof. I ended up being on the rooftop, or at least on the top of the highest roof I could actually get to, for more than two hours. Continue Reading...
Snow Streak
Here in my yard, in Goffstown, NH we have seen snow in the following amounts over the last 20 days or so. I know these are not necessarily record-breaking, and that others have seen a lot more, but this is a pretty good run none the less. I do love all four seasons and here in NH I do feel that we get a good taste of each season annually. So even though the air temperature was -8°F when I went to Continue Reading...
Some Roads Must Remain Open
A little snow doesn't stop us; at least, not for very long. Our 14 year-old was on the ice, Bruins game on the radio, the twins were playing in (as well as eating) the snow, and I was taking care of the fire. The stars were bright in the clear winter sky, and I still love winter. Continue Reading...
