As we came out of our cold high pressure weather pattern, we had a snowstorm that gave us 17 inches of wet, sticky snow over a period of about 36 hours.
Clearing off the dock.
We always have to keep the area behind the lodge clear so the snow can shed off the roof. It's always harder to clear, either with the snowblower or shovel because it gets compacted and may have ice or icicles from the eaves buried in it.
Looking out at the bay from the side of the lodge.
Our cold spell had freezing temps for around 3 weeks and the last 10 days or so had highs around 20 and lows around 12. This put a layer of ice on top of Sadie Creek, so when it snowed, the creek pretty much disappeared under the snow and ice.
We had a pretty good snowload on the dock--this is looking up at the lodge from the dock across a snow-filled skiff. (you can see the center console and steering wheel on the right.)
The morning after the storm broke to more clear skies and sunrise colors.
Feral watches for birds and then calls Jen when she thinks it will be a good photo.
