First Major Snow of 2016

After weeks of anticipation and much posturing by the forecasters,
our first major winter storm began late morning last Friday and continued
until dark on Saturday, leaving Ramsay under about 20" of powdery snow!

We were fortunate not to lose power--particularly during the high winds
 on Saturday night-- and despite some necessary grumbling from our
 four-legged residents. everyone is well-fed and safe!

Most of the following pictures reveal the extensive 
drifting caused by the high winds overnight!
