Snowtober?

Igloo

They say that in 140 years of recorded history, there has not been more snow in the state of New Hampshire in the month of October. We took eight inches of snow, and while the phone company continues to deliver service in the face of every storm, the electric company is saying this will be [...]

Two photos from April Fools’ Day 2011. The birch trees in the second photo are bowed down to the ground with the weight of the wet snow. Crazy weather!

Backyard Ice Rink

Wading In

138 board feet of lumber, a mutt, a pair of rubber boots, two used billboards fused into a tarp, and twenty tons of water. In this photo, I am wading in to clear out branches that fell in the ice rink prior to it freezing over. That was this morning. Now there’s almost an inch [...]
