i heart macro: "Fair Amount of Snow"

We finally had a major snowstorm here this week--the first big one of the winter,... and hopefully the last.   We got ourselves a "fair amount" of snow as you can tell from these "half-hearted macros"  (trying to use the zoom to get the closeup rather than really being closeup) ....which I took from inside the house during a brief "shoveling break!"

This one is of the deck railing before it was shoveled.  

(Grainy photo, I'll have to keep working with my new camera!) 

We got about 10-12 inches Thursday morning,

then later, about another 3 inches.   

These first two photos were taken before the 2nd snowfall.

"i heart macro" #19:   "A Fair Bit"

In the back of the house, 

there is a roof that extends from the house

and slants down to a small shed.

When the snow gets heavy, we worry it will collapse,

but there are no volunteers in our household 

to go up on that roof to clean it off.

Luckily, it's still standing.

The icicle photo was taken Friday as the sun warmed things up 

just barely above freezing.

It was still another full day of shoveling.

More snow expected Monday.   

Looks like global warming is taking a break....
