Big snow

It seems that snow keeps on falling and this is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. This January, we counted just 7 sunny days against 21 last year. Temperatures were about the same during both months. This year, it’s every day that we must remove large quantities of snow. At this point, shoveling has become hard and inefficient since we can’t lift the snow anymore and the snow blower comes in handy, even on mornings when the accumulation is rather thin. Do I remember other big snow years in the 23 winters we have lived in Park City? I think not, with perhaps the exception of the winter of 92/93 during which we had the most snow towards the end of January. So here we are with seemingly another record snow year; we are already tired and depressed of that persistent snowy weather; of course, last year we had none and weren’t happy either… We sure can use the moisture as our previous winters have been a bit on the dry side, but hopefully, the rest of the winter still have more sunny days in store for us!
