0.84” rain/snow melt, 1.0” fresh snow this week, with the freezing rain last Sunday making a real mess of things. Melted snow & ice made a thick crust on everything and single digit temps kept it intact. Road out front wasn't cleared until Friday. Luckily our power stayed on, as we were hunkered down and not going anywhere. Had to use a garden spade to chop through the crust to get snowpack depth. A frostquake one evening had us thinking a tree landed on the roof. Deer aplenty in mid-day appearances. Birds enjoying the sunflower in the feeder. Lots of hawks hunting.
