The first snow in November of 2008 put a little more snow on our picnic table than usual. In fact we sometimes have a bit of a thaw after the first snow so that we may be able to use the picnic table again. But not this year. Snow storm after snow storm came all winter long. In many places of the state a record snowfall was recorded. We no sooner shoveled off our walks and driveway, and either another snowfall came or the wind picked up and blew more snow in on the freshly cleaned walks.
By January the table was completely buried (well over 3 feet) with only a mound of snow on top to show us where it might be when spring comes. It wouldn't be until Easter Sunday morning when we walked out the door to go to church that we actually saw the top of the table for the first time all winter.
It was a cold winter too......but it was a dry cold.
