The Winter To Remember

I had to re-title and re-write this blog. Up until two weeks ago we didn't even have a dusting of snow on the ground. I've talked to some old timers up here and asked them if they can ever recall this many consecutive storms with significant plowable, measurable snowfall. There were no stories to be told. In as many years as Mom and Dad have lived here they can't ever recall this many back to back storms. I'm just going to provide a pictorial story of how much snow we've gotten in the last 14 days with another foot to potentially fall over the course of the next two days. Here's a few photos to give you an idea. For anyone who knows Dad this is the type of story he would revel in telling everyone.
 
2/27/15 UPDATE: Bangor Maine is on track for the coldest month on record and we are only a few inches away from the 2nd most snowfall in a winter. As I always like to say, go big or go home. 

It all began with a little blizzard. At least you could still see the bench and chair. 

The bush in the front yard is still prominent.

Even the mailbox is accessible!

Not so a few quick snowfalls later.



Early morning.

Remember that bush? Different view and disappearing.

The bench is still there, sort of.
