I don't know if this is the winter of relentless snow or if this is just such a cold winter none of the snow we're getting is melting, but either way, we are up to our ears (or at least our waists) in snow. We probably have between 2 and 3 feet on the ground, and since Rick blows all the snow from the driveway into the backyard, you can imagine how deep that is. Above is Cate trying to get up what are usually stairs from the backyard onto the deck. The look on her face is partly that she sank up to her waist and partly her starting to say, "Mom, my foot's stuck and my boot is coming off."
Even Zoe has to struggle to get through the snow that is almost over her head in most spots!
Now if only she still enjoys shoveling 10 years from now... notice the snow piles on the deck are taller than her.
Our fence has become little more than a snow retaining wall.
For those of you who know what our driveway looks like in the summer, there is a stockade fence and flower beds where this wall of snow is.
More shoveling...
We went down the street in the sled to visit neighbors. This is our street, and you can see the snow piled up like walls on either side.

Now THAT's what I imagines Maine to be...not that wimpy winter you had last year! Hale and hardy...shovel and scrape! Ahhh Maine!
Cate appears to be a true Maine-ite, huh? She's just a little trooper isn't she?? Stay warm!!!
