This is why I'm glad I cancelled my satellite TV!
I remember going out during snow storms with a broom to try to clear the dish and the transponder. No more! Of course, the internet connection could drop, but I have over 600 DVDs and Bluerays, plus more on my iMac. And there's always books.

As usual, clicken to embiggen.
We've got a pretty big storm hitting us, dumping a consistent inch or more per hour since midnight or so last night.
A couple more under the cut.

Athena's companion is always patient and vigilant, even if it is a bit nippy out.
I went out to shovel off the porch, in preparation to take at least some of the trash out (it was 18f outside), and when I saw the had on the owl and the buildup on the rails I came back in and had Russet fetch my Lumix. It was just too cool not to get a photo.

Nothing much to say on this one, I just really liked the patterns of how the plethora of branches had caught snow, and it was kinda neat how the camera's somewhat high shutter caught the snow falling in front of it all.

I assume you're talking about that NE corner near the mountains? Yeah, I bet they sometimes get hammered.
In Cloudcroft, north of the highway is considered the 'poor' side of town and obviously it's small enough that when it snows like this, the entire town gets hit. The funny thing is, if you live on the north side and have an eastern exposure, you get good melt, and today's been sunny and fortunately no new snow. The south side, the allegedly 'rich' side, has so many thick pockets of trees that they get very poor sun exposure and thus very little melt and have icy snow all winter long. Teach them to be snobs! ;-)
