What a difference in just a few days

This last week has been a weather roller coaster. From below zero frigid days to a high in the mid-40s today...and two feet of snow in between. Last Friday, there was no snow, all the ground was clear. It was really, really cold. Then Saturday/Sunday we had snow, just over a foot.  It stayed cold, and then on Tuesday, another snowstorm hit.  This one also dropped a bit over a foot of snow, to leave us with over two feet.  Here are some comparison pictures, snapshots from the cam, starting with Sunday morning.  I didn't quite get the distance the same each of the times, but you can see the levels change (look at the little branch coming in from the upper left).


Sunday morning, 15 Dec 013  just over a foot if snow.
Wednesday morning, 18 Dec 2013, just over 2 feet of snow
Friday morning, 20 Dec 2013, melting fast...

One week, two major storms, and such big changes. According to the calendar, it isn't even winter yet.  Normally, the snow that we get in the late fall stays with us and is the last snow to melt in late spring.  Maybe this year we'll see it melt before we have another snowstorm.
