Got Off Easy Until the End of January...Now, Not So Much

Many things in life are a matter of perspective... and so it is with the photos I took, February 1, 2015 after the midcoast area had seen the third of four storms ranging from 24" to 12" within less than a week. Definitely guilty of playing up the snow banks a bit, but with nothing to give comparison to, it is hard to judge the amazing snow cover! Since late January, we have been averaging a storm every 2-3 days, which is certainly payback for a pretty snowless December and January. The winter has been very cold with many days not making it past the teens and most night in the single numbers or below. In that sense, I am glad for the snow cover which might give some protection to the gardens, if it is not too late!
