Snow Table

What you see pictured here is no example of trick photography. It's our back kitchen window area, with a lantern and bird feeders touching or getting close to touching the snow. Good thing this wasn't all water! I think a snow table has something to do with the measurement of the equivalent amount of water that would have fallen had all the snow been of the liquid variety and at certain temperatures. Most of the time, I hear the meteorologists telling us, after a solid, drenching spring deluge that it was a good thing this wasn't all snow. They throw out some statistical reference as to the amount of snow we'd be shoveling had it all been white stuff. I enjoy a good cover of snow, but this time of year moving another 8 inches or so of snowfall ain't fun.
Let me see.
How many days until Florida?

  1. I cannot fathom this much snow. Too much.

  2. Wow, this really puts your situation into perspective. I hope you are able to dig your way out when it's time to leave for Florida. :-)

  3. You need a few really sunny days to start melting that stuff gradually.

  4. Florida awaits! No snow anywhere here. I've been checking.

    This is ridiculous. You'd have to crawl out a window just to begin shoveling. Mother Nature can be really nasty at times!

  6. It is really hard to imagine that spring can and will eventually return. Probably. xx

  7. I wonder how much spring flooding is going to happen in these snow-laden states?

  9. We have had some days in Florida that start with fog before burning off into blue skies by 9 a.m. You should hear the way Floridians complain about that.
