Tomorrow there will be snowmen everywhere. . .

There are few things I hate more than disturbing newly fallen snow (of course, I also hate disturbing vacuum marks on the freshly vacuumed carpet). It looks so clean and pure and usually even (stupid drifts). Unfortunately, this afternoon, my distaste for disturbing snow was in direct competition with my love of US Mail - if it's here, I can't leave it in the box. Disturbing the snow as little as possible, I headed outside to collect the mail. It should be noted that the snow is still falling fairly heavily and is expected to continue for several more hours. I'm seriously doubting our ability to make it to church tomorrow morning. When I made it back into the living room, the tops of my boots were covered in snow - I'm guessing there's easily 6-7 inches already in the front yard.


The unscathed back deck and yard. Show is stacked up along the deck rail and against the shed. The breeze has blown quite a bit of snow off the rail, but it's still pretty high.


A closeup of the deck rail - so pretty with the snow all stacked up.

Here is the pampas grass that is between my house and my neighbour's house. It's a bit out of place covered in snow!

Finally, the stairs on the front porch. I really hated to step on them, they looked so cool!
