Winter Geology

We've been watching the snow compact itself this week... the piles are getting shorter and shorter. They can't be melting - we haven't been more than a degree or two above zero all month - but the snow is definitely getting denser. This afternoon I noticed that you can more or less see the lines on the edge of the path to the house from every time Mike's had the snowblower out!

The shoveling lines remind me of the road cuts along Highway 61 on the way to Duluth - everyone has noticed them - but our summer guests may be interested to see the ice waterfalls. We think they're kind of neat.

It sure seems odd to watch the national weather service web site and know that most of the rest of the country is having our kind of winter this year. I can't say we've got cabin fever - quite - but we're grateful for neighbors and town and the public library!
