Happy SuperBowl – 1,
Was very pretty at the lake. Lots of fresh snow:
We have been out x-country skiing a few times:
This is Helen pretending it is possible to skate on a rough, snow covered, mostly frozen lake:
We are 1/2 way through the snow season and yesterday reached the season average of 120 inches! I doubt we will break the all time season record of 200 inches, but I can always dream. Most of the snow has melted, so on the ground we only have about a foot:
A couple of neighers down the block are having a snow fort competition. This is the smaller fort:
My underwater camera didn’t want to take a picture of the bigger fort, which was 2 stories with a big inside chamber. I think the camera didn’t get a good photo because it was too big. Or maybe it is because it didn’t look like a fish. They father and his daugher invited me to crawl around inside. This is probably pretty safe roof structure:
Was cozy. Even warmer than our apartment. Helen and I are on an adventure to see if we can make it through the winter without turning on the furnace. Except for the 4 times we have had visitors, we have left it off, guiltily absorbing heat from the downstair apartment. When it got down to 0 outside, we got down to a low of 48 inside, but most of the month has been in the mid-50s. The trick is layered clothing. Our model here walks the runway with thick socks, ug boots, jeans with wool liners, 4 layers of shirts, and a bowl of warm oatmeal.
