17 February 2025, the day after the storm

We've had 75 cm. of snow in four days and now it's time to dig ourselves out. It's -14 C but feels like -26 C with the wind chill, a blowing wind sending gusts of snow across backyards, along streets, over parking lots.

I have dug us out of a lot of snow

Snow removed on one side of the street today, 23  February 2025.

The garden under snow

There's nothing you can do in the garden when it's winter and -25 C (or colder), except stay in-doors, read a book, watch Morse on Vermont Public Television, listen to the radio, cook a meal, make your home cosy, keep the heat at 23 C., wait it out. It's difficult to have any enthusiasm to go outside. The good news is that spring is just two months away. We can do it! We're tough! We're Canadians!
