icicles

our visit to the west virginia house last night was the first time anyone had been out there since the skies dumped several feet of snow on the mid-atlantic states and the east coast. we arrived late last night, and then my dad and i (mostly my dad) had to shovel our way to the house through several feet of snow. i actually snowshoed to the house to get a second shovel. by the time we got into the house and had dinner, we all pretty much passed out. we were pretty tuckered out.

this morning, i went out onto the back deck to see even more snow, and the icicles that formed a ring around the house. there were a lot.
