I took the same shot this morning to show you what 4" of overnight snow looks like. There was a whole lot of snow shoveling going on - again.
I'm back to enjoying my Lendrum again. A wonderful fiber nut from Maryland named Melodye left a comment that Gordon Lendrum has a reputation for answering the phone and not email, so I called yesterday. Sure enough. He picked the phone up on the third ring and chatted with me for about ten minutes. When I worried that I had worn out my wheel, he chuckled and said that all things wear out, ourselves included, however, he was sure my wheel has many miles left. I told him that my old fast flyer has a very deep groove it, which is why I had ordered the new one. He chuckled again, saying that yarn is like water, following the path of least resistance. He told me the first thing I should do is adjust the guides with two pliers. I'm still going to get the replacement mother-of-all as he says new flyers don't fit the old M-O-As. What a nice man - no wonder he makes such a wonderful wheel.
Already the blue sky is beginning to open up. Our kids are coming up from San Francisco tomorrow so grandson Noah can have a snow day. If you were reading my blog a year ago, you might recall that we got a sneaker storm when they came last February and they ended up snowed in here an extra day. Noah loved it! The pass will be open with no controls by tomorrow. A new dawn, a new day~

That last shot is so pretty....almost looks like marshmallow fluff. We have a 24 hour storm warning starting tomorrow at noon. The forecast for snow accumulation isn't much, but they are predicting up to 3/4" of ice. We are in the same predicament as you with no power=no water.
Sounds like Noah is going to get another dose of playing in the snow!!
Wow you really did get some snow! I had to laugh about the bird suicide. We have a sunroom and every spring when the baby birds go out for a test flight we always get one who has not cleared their flight plan with momma bird. It's heart breaking every spring. Now we have put shades on all the windows and that has really cut down on premature flight deaths.
Wow! that storm really left a lot of snow for you! Not much snow here which can be a problem if one considers the snow pack and summer water conditions. It has been an "interesting" winter all over N.A.
I wonder if the system that gave you snow is the one coming my way? We are supposed to get between 8 and 18 inches of snow starting tonite. My neighbor with a tractor came over this afternoon and put more haybales out for me. He's a snowplow driver. Didn't know when he'd be free again. First time all winter that we haven't had to push snow to get to the bales - another reason to do it today!
Glad I could help!
Noah might get a second snow in, looks like a bumpy week here, maybe we won't be sending all the storms your way, just a few!
They make clear shaped things you put on the windows to keep the birds away. Your sun catcher may just attract them thinking it's another feeder. I've had good luck with these on our big back room windows.

I LOVE YOUR SNOW! I rather liked it when everything here was white.
