The big snow of February continued

 The snow kept falling over the next 2 or 3 days.  It was just above freezing to make the snow wet from slight melting.  When there was any wind it caused damage to trees and power lines.  There were quite a few people without power.  The children had a snow day or two, and so did some of the working people.  The above is the snow on the deck stairs on the 10th.

 The moss garden under the first blanket of snow.

 the seedheads of a perennial plant at the pond edge covered in snow.  Behind this snow you can see the waterfall running.  The running waterfall keeps a open space on the top of the pond for oxygen exchange in the pond.

 on the 10th the snow piled up on the easterly side of the telephone pole.  The next day the snow was on the opposite side of the post.  I guess that the direction of the wind caused this interesting occurrence. 

 The back deck railings piled with snow with the woodland in the background.  

 An overview of the front garden, shooting out the front window of course.  The hedges became loaded with heavy wet snow.  They have recovered now, though, thank heavens.

 A view of the park trail through the front tree, that is loaded with snow also.

 The david with hat and scarf.   The bamboo is strategically bending in the snow to frame the david.

 This icicle formed in the melt from the roof and continued for a few days.

 More snow fell on the 11th piling up everywhere.

The table and chairs on the deck.  I think we must have had at least a foot of snow... chairsfull of it. 

The pots and the light on the deck with even more snow falling.
You can see why a great snowfall is such an event for me.  The shadows and highlights of all the white create some very interesting photos.
