We've only had a little flurry of snow here so far this year and we're not expecting a white Christmas, we're more likely to get snow in Jan and feb....

So to kick off this winter photo thread... here are some photos from around my village and my local little market town that I took Last Winter......

Last winter was one of the worst I can remember for snow; we had over 114" of the white stuff last year. Here are some photos from my street in the aftermath of our huge blizzard in late January and some early Feb. storms. IMG_0634.jpgIMG_0632.jpgP1020533.jpg
 
Took these after a surprise September snowfall outside Banff, Alberta. We were there on vacation.

SeaBreeze, great shot. Blizzards are awesome in some respects, just for the fury of nature, but they suck in the aftermath. I had so much snow on my roof last year I was pulling it down with the roof rake for two months. At it's worst in February, I think I had a good 4' piled up on one section of my roof. Hoping this mild weather continues.

I thought about needing a way to get it off the roof when it was deep Bob, how long of a handle does your roof rake have, if it's a heavy, thick wet snow, are you strong enough to move it with that?

The handle is about 16' when all three sections are connected. Have not tried with heavy wet snow, but they make a better version these days that actually slices through the snow. Have thought about upgrading to this kind of device. [video]http://www.minnsnowta.com/roofrazor1.html[/video] Suffice to say, when the snow was at it's deepest, using the roof rake is a lot of work. Especially if the snow has been up there for a few days. It packs down and that makes it harder to cut through. The other problem is that I have a deck, so when you pull the snow down, it still needs to be cleared off the deck.
 
From my front porch, 2011. We get a snow like this about once every 5 years on average down here. It is always a very wet snow that clings to trees and electric lines, causes widespread power outages. But the sun usually comes out and it's gone in a day or two. I think the most we've got recently was 8 inches. Freezing rain storms are much worse here.

From Cape Elizabeth, Maine following a snow storm one evening. We were spending a weekend at an Inn. Grabbed my camera and got some shots of the sun setting over the water with new fallen snow.
