With this view from the bedroom window on February 2, I continue my more or less regular record of the weather and climate in this year of our Lord 2014. The dawn temperature was 34 degrees. Snow is melting.

Thirteen inches of snow fell yesterday, and so did temperatures today – 9 degrees.  But it is sunny.

More snow on February 8, about 3 inches. Temperature still cold, 10 degrees at 7 am.

Still more snow! A total of 30 inches in the last 10 days.  And this morning freezing fog turning the trees into crystal.

The road is clear, but the snow is melting very slowly because it is so cold. 10 degrees this morning,

The last day of February. We are glad to see this cold snowy moth depart – even though we do treasure all that precipitation. Now I walk out to the henhouse on snow that is frozen solid. The Polar Vortex seems to have left its shadow over our region. Zero degrees on this final day of the month.  How long will it take all the ice and snow to melt?
