But in the mean time, here's a few pictures to put this glorious winter into perspective!
A quick check of wunderground.com brought up some interesting info on just how cold it's been up here.
Since November 1, 2013 to yesterday, March 20, 2014.... 141 days.
We've had 69 days with a low temp of below 0°F (-17.7°C)...
The end of my driveway.
And 13 days where the high was still below 0°...
My brother in-law's boat.
Of the last 141 days, only 31 of them had highs above 32°F (0°C) and 110 had highs of 32°F or less...
The path to the wood racks...
In the months of December, January and February, we had a total of 4 days with temps of above 32°F....
My truck from the front window.
We had 2 long stretches of day time highs below 32°F... one was 42 day in a row, the other was 36...
This was 3-1-2012 and I thought that was a lot of snow 2 years ago!
But even with all the cold and snow, I wouldn't want to live anywhere else! Give up these brilliant blue, crystal clear, winter skies?
Or give up the flame orange sunsets over the old Telemark ski hills?
Because Martha threw out a challenge....
Here's a shot of the apres snow blowing treat Nancy made. Crispy corn tortillas topped with avocado, cherry tomatoes, cheese and lettuce, toasted in a 425° oven for 3 minutes. Add a little bit of salsa to the top of them and mmmmm!
