Tales from Skunk Hill

Winter Oddities

This has been the year for unusual winter formations.

Crooked Icicles
The crooked icicles, when the wind blew first from the north and then from the south.
Horizontal Icicles
Then the horizontal icicles. Sitting as we do, proud atop Skunk Hill, we get some good winds from the west.
Long Icicle
It’s hard to tell from this picture but this icicle is over 5 feet long, and is hanging over the door so we had to duck around it.
Snow Slabs
Snow slid off the roof in firm slabs and made what looks like an abandoned cemetery off the porch.
More Snow Slabs
I’m tempted to go out and incise names on them.

After being minus 12 on Thursday, it’s 57 degrees warmer today on Sunday. Spring’s a-coming!

    Notice that it knocked one of my deer skulls off the fence. This is exactly why we can’t have any foundation plantings. Drives me crazy, but I do love the steel roof.

    I did notice that, Deb, and was just so sad for you. How horrible.
