and counting

 Well, we came out the other end of a recording-setting lake effect storm. Where we live, the northwest corner of Harborcreek Township, about 7 miles from the center of Erie, we received 58" give or take!!

One of the eeriest things about it for me was watching TV programs from around the country where the weather was warm and sunny or at least not snowy. It's really surreal to see the extreme difference when you're sitting in the middle of an extreme weather moment yourself!

Here's another and hopefully final look at some of our recent reality!

Mailboxes that were along the road were almost buried.

Our side signage along Troupe Rd. was gone; just the upper border showed.

Here's the path out the inner courtyard doors where we tried to keep
feeding the birds...mostly sparrows and nuthatches.

Lots of birds came to my window feeder, too, including both male and female cardinals. 
Very pretty in the snow. That tree in the background suffered large broken limbs
from the weight of the snow. Today a mild melting has begun.
