Second Blizzard in Less Than a Month

I'm still not adjusting well to this climate at all.  I know it's supposed to be cold and snow in winter, and I certainly experienced it when I was growing up, but it seems worse now that I'm older.  We had a second snowstorm/blizzard that dumped a ton of snow on the coast.  Another 2 feet, but again, it was nice and fluffy so no power outage issues.

These things were pretty cool hanging off the roof.  I left them this time.


It snowed for just about 24 hours straight.




The day cleared out by sunset and it was beautiful out.  Ice cold and still.

This was right after sunset at blue hour.  After it got dark it was crystal clear and the stars looked like diamonds against the black sky.

This is the next day.  I was calling them snow waves for lack of a better description.


I wanted to see how big this one would get.  This was 2 days after the snowstorm.




It started to melt fairly quickly for a couple of days.






This is the last pic I took before a big chunk broke off in the warmer weather.  

And we've had more snow since these pictures were taken.
