View from my window today (nothing!)

No alt provided
alt text
This is the second floorish (maybe 1.5 floor, it's a house on pillars) kitchen window right now. This is the standard view from all the windows on 2/3rds of the house. The other windows are legit 2 floors up and the snow is level with the bottom of the windows. However, this is the most legit place for snowfall measurement because some of the snow at the other windows is from the roof except for here. (It's the one spot on the roof we can't access to shovel snow from so it's built up there over the winter (so there's a giant cornice that's apt to come tumbling down any second now)).

As a lifelong westerner (in North America) who *constantly* thinks about weather, water, and wildfire, I never ever ever thought I'd say this but

STOP.
SNOWING.

For a second I thought it was a wave on a beach! Yikes!
williwaw pro 2 years ago
@mashcan it *does* look like a wave! That would definitely be worse.

@wjcstp Funny you say that as we have the biggest salamander heaters we could find aimed at the 1.5 foot thick ice dam on the roof at this very second hahaha!

Living in a place where even the coldest night of the year is above freezing, I say ... NOPE.

I'm so desensitized to snow I thought this image was about the white animal that wanted to be let in. We had a lot of snow this year, but not nearly that much. Did you have to dig a tunnel to get out of the house?
williwaw pro 2 years ago
@mare Well it didn't start out as a tunnel because it didn't happen all at once but it sure is now!

we have to put the snow on a little wagon to take it out because we can't shovel the snow any higher, which makes me laugh every time

@waldopepper our peak snowfall is actually within the next 3 weeks! So no.

However. We're at 190% of snow so we're very much hoping it doesn't melt all at once; there's only one way to get to town which has a lot of bridges AND steep hillsides that are somewhat tenuous so the slower the better. Hopefully it's the kind of year where there are snowbanks in the always shady areas under the trees in July.

dang! where are you? west of Bridgeport?
williwaw pro 2 years ago
@cristin thankfully it is not CA snow! GAH. I live in the Colorado Rockies.

However, we're at about the same percentage of normal as parts of CA are (in the 180-90s). Or were a few weeks ago, haven't checked recently. So similar pain of above normal if not similar snow totals I guess?
