We got our second blizzard of the season before January even started! This one was even more powerful than the first. Lots of trees went down around town and the majority of people in the area lost power for a day or two. We had a white pine snap off about 20 feet up and the top somehow missed our power line. The wind blew it from one side to the other. Very lucky as we would have been extremely low priority - our power stayed on. It took four charges on the snowblower and an assist from Tyler's tractor to get our driveway cleared.
Made it to Marquette Mountain the day after to enjoy the fresh snow, but they were woefully unprepared. I guess they can't get their employees to show up for work. The main lift also seems to be broken, so we couldn't access the best runs. Hopefully they get their act together soon!
The girls got to spend New Year's Eve with Grammie and Grampie. They all had fun with fireworks and watching movies and eating junk food and staying up late. What a party. Naomi and I went to bed early and enjoyed an uninterrupted night of sleep. Sure don't miss all the fireworks in the NL! We did have some fun snowshoeing in the fresh powder. Greenhouse is still doing okay, but the banana is not happy - no surprise there.
