Winter in central NY is not easy, especially in our neck of the woods. We're in that magic belt of land that gets hit with storms moving across NY south of Lake Ontario, as well as any of the lake effect storms hitting the area. Seriously, you can drive less than 1/2 a mile in any direction and they will not have as much snow as we do. It's crazy, and I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't experience it every year for the past 6 years!
This is Jacqueline at the foot of our driveway (she's 5' 2" for size reference); that snow bank is a good 2 feet over our mailbox. Down the street? The snowbanks aren't even up to the mailboxes. Just take a look at the ones in my last photo from around the corner...
But even though we get a lot of snow, and spend a lot of time either shoveling, or inside consuming copious quantities of cocoa (that's fun to say), we do have fun out there! Especially the kids...
So how about you? I'd love to see pics of your area in the winter and hear about your experiences. And if you want to see more too, just head over to Linda's blog for all the other EtsyBloggers' links!
