Winter 2004
Home Station
December of 2003, we are told was not much -- very little snow.
Pa and Ma got back early January of 2004. Have no real idea what happened, but once we returned the snow did come.
Pa always said that he wanted 36 inches on the ground - he came close.
The first set of pictures are from January - they are sort of before and after routine.

Early February arrived and the snow continued to fall from the sky.
For a week or so the drives were blown every 3 or 4 days --- GREAT FUN

However, the picture in the middle of the front yard reveals that WINTER IS STILL AROUND
