It is winter and I certainly feel my fair share of discontent. The snow continues to fall as do the temperatures. In the beginning of February the groundhog did not see his shadow, and so this continues.
Just a week or so ago, we had the honor of breaking the record for snow accumulation. The previous record was 76.1 inches. Now in mid February, we have had more then 79.1 inches. (I really believe we ought to just round it on up to 80 inches, who’s going to notice.) This marvelous achievement was followed by an incredible week of bitter cold.
Well this weekend we were lucky enough to have some sunshine and moderate temperatures. That means that people were out busily enjoying the heat wave and chipping out the sewers so there was someplace for the water from the melting ice and snow to melt. I took a break from all the fun to take a ride to the other side of town so I could get a picture of this snowman. It is out on Pleasant View road maybe a mile past Mineral Point.
The two story snow man is dedicated to all the fun we have been having this winter. The hat is three tractor tires stacked on top of each other and the carrot like nose is a large orange traffic cone. Isn't wonderful what you can do when faced with so much snow and so little you can do about it!
By the way we are expecting a few more inches of snow this evening.
Enjoy!
