Snow Days

A school "snow day" doesn't mean anything to us any more, we still enjoy the winter wonderland while it lasts. We had about 4 1/2 inches of snow from Saturday night through Sunday night. Now that it's a sunny Tuesday, the snow is melting fast.

Yesterday (Monday): Our solar panels don't make much electricity when they're covered with snow. (Actually, they haven't even "turned on" for 2 days.) As the snow/ice slips off, it's amazing how it coheres in one piece.
The view from behind the panels.
This morning, the sheet of snow/ice had slipped further yet. We didn't expect it to last overnight.
The bottom edge is deteriorating quickly. About two hours later, the whole sheet slid off the panels. Unfortunately, we didn't see it happen.
Our landscape-eating rabbits were hard at work overnight.
With the trees covered in rime from a cold fog overnight, and sunlight in just the right spot, made Fore Mountain look like an old volcano.
