Going for the record accumlulated snowfall EVER

We are close - second place for most snow ever recorded in Ottawa, and here is the mountain of snow to prove it. The porch is about 7-8 feet tall.

Seriously, by MOUNTAIN, I mean scaleable with ropes and spikes and other gear.

I'm screaming of a white Easter

With every snowstorm that I sight.

Will your days be merry and bright.

And may all your Easters -not- be white.

Whole darn family stuck in a snow tunnel.

I will NEVER complain about our measly snowfalls again. THAT is a lot of snow. You have my sympathies.

White Easter, indeed!

WOW!! That's kind of scary to see...(we don't have snow here)

OK - you win! I promise to stop bitching about the 3-4 feet of snow STILL in my back yard here in northern Iowa. I thought last spring was bad. But this one sucks 10 times worse!

That is quite a load of snow!

That's a crazy amount of snow but your mountain does looks beautiful. I guess you won't be growing anything outdoors in the garden for a long while.

Telsing,

I just found your blog through tinyfarmblog.com. It took me a while to realize it was you! Looks like you have a great setup with veggies until March! I did sweet potatoes last year too and we still have some. They are amazing!

Oh, I'm starting a CSA this year (only 5 members) and maybe a small market. I started a blog myself. Check it out:
